When you talk about convertibles, there are a few names that come to mind -- and one of those is the Mazda Miata. Around for two and a half decades, this vehicle has been popular from the start, and for good reason -- it’s damn fun to drive and looks great.

I recently tested a 2016 Miata and I’ve back with a full report.

With seemingly everyone driving a truck or an SUV these days, it’s easy to forget about vans -- but they are still a part of the landscape in the automotive world, both full-sized and compact versions.

One such entry in this small but competitive category is the RAM ProMaster City, which I recently got a chance to test.

Competing primarily with the Ford Transit Connect, Nissan’s NV200 and the Chevy City Express, this mini version of the full-size RAM ProMaster van takes a simple approach to vanning -- lots of space and some power.

Here’s my full report after some time driving a 2015 ProMaster City.

What exactly is that thing? it’s a Nissan Juke, thank you very much for asking.

I got quite a bit of that recently, when I spent a week testing the supremely unique 2015 Nissan Juke NISMO RS, which makes no effort to blend in with the crowd.

The Juke has always been somewhat of an odd duck, and the NISMO package I tested only furthers that.  Here’s my full report on the vehicle and how it measures up against other compact crossovers.

The history of Nissan’s Z-Car lineup is deep, going back nearly 50 years to the late 1960s, but the goal has always been the same -- to build fast, fun sporty cars.

While it’s a small piece of Nissan’s overall stamp on the market, it’s a piece worth maintaining, and I recently got a chance to take the wheel of a 2016 Nissan 370Z NISMO.

From the moment you see the BMW i3 -- the plug-in electric-powered hatchback from the luxury automaker -- and you know you’re looking at something evolutionary (or perhaps revolutionary). From its spaceship-esque bubbly shape, to the unique and attractive interior design, this is clearly unlike any other vehicle you’ll ever see.

Beyond looks and design, this is a vehicle that tells the future. No, it’s not what everyone will drive now -- honestly, they will probably sell very few of them compared to gas-powered vehicles due to the “range anxiety” that electric vehicles tend to give potential buyers -- but years down the road we’ll look back at vehicles like the i3 and remember that this was a trailblazer.

My week behind the wheel of an i3 was unlike my usual vehicle testing periods, mostly in a good way, and I’m back with a full report on this visitor from the future.

Some vehicles come and go and are barely remembered. You could say the opposite is true for the Dodge Grand Caravan. Around for decades, this minivan staple was already supposed to be dead and gone, but has again returned for the 2016 model year.

It’s the cat with nine lives, and I recently got a chance to test the 2016 Grand Caravan to see what it still had to offer as it drives off into the sunset and Chrysler’s more upscale Town and Country becomes the flagship minivan for FCA.
