Check VIN before You Buy a Classic Car to Avoid Getting It Seized

Check VIN before You Buy a Classic Car to Avoid Getting It Seized

Cars,
BY STEVE LEHTO | CarAndDriver.Com Troy Warren for CNT #Cars Archaic laws in some states could see the government seize a car you just bought through no fault of your own. A man in Kansas who bought a 1959 Corvette has found himself litigating with the state in an attempt to keep them from destroying the car. The Kafkaesque situation causes shivers for other car owners but also points to steps all buyers of classic cars need to follow. This is a process I am quite familiar with. I had a client who bought a classic car from Michigan that was seized by…

Tested: 2021 Porsche 718 Spyder Is Fiercely Focused, Even with the Automatic

Tested: 2021 Porsche 718 Spyder Is Fiercely Focused, Even with the Automatic

Cars,
BY ELANA SCHERR | CarAndDriver.Com Troy Warren for CNT #Cars The lightweight convertible 718 wins us over with riveting performance and a song we want to play on repeat. According to the editorial powers that be, it is unacceptable to turn in a review of the 2021 Porsche 718 Spyder that is made up completely of 800 spelling variations on the word "Vroom," followed by a bunch of smiley faces and a link to the world's longest road tunnel—which is in Norway, if you're curious. So, we've reluctantly added in some technical details about Porsche's most powerful and performance-focused version of…

Our 2021 Hyundai Sonata N Line Is a Muscle Car for Millennials

Our 2021 Hyundai Sonata N Line Is a Muscle Car for Millennials

Cars,
BY ERIC STAFFORD | CarAndDriver.Com Troy Warren for CNT #Cars We see if the Sonata N Line's front-wheel-peelin' personality and sporty dynamics can teach the younger generation that some cars are fun. N-troduction: Calling the Hyundai Sonata N Line a modern-day muscle car is a surefire way to get accused of automotive heresy. After all, it's just a family sedan with a hotter engine, a stiffer suspension, a flashy body kit, and some red interior accents, right? Well, yeah, but the original GTO was just a Pontiac Tempest with a high-output V-8, upgraded chassis and drivetrain components, and various visual distinctions. The point isn't to…

2022 Subaru Forester Wilderness Conquers the Outback

2022 Subaru Forester Wilderness Conquers the Outback

Cars,
BY DAN EDMUNDS | CarAndDriver.Com Troy Warren for CNT #Cars With its tidier dimensions and lower price, the hiked-up Forester Wilderness proves that less is more—until you stab the throttle. When we first saw it, there was little doubt the Wilderness treatment would spread beyond the Subaru Outback. The hardcore-crossover concept has been quietly gaining steam, which only makes sense given that compact SUV sales are off the charts. Crossover lift kits and knobby-tire upgrades are now a thing, and practically everyone says "overlanding" when they mean "car camping." Subaru owners modding their rides have been at the leading edge of this trend, so…

Cars
BY JOE LORIO | CarAndDriver.Com Troy Warren for CNT #Cars The feds' official estimates also show 33 mpg on the highway and 37 mpg combined. The base model of the upcoming 2022 Ford Maverick pickup is the hybrid version, which just posted an EPA fuel-economy rating of 37 mpg combined, handily beating the nonhybrid models' combined fuel economy of 25–26 mpg.  Ford had claimed the hybrid version of the compact pickup would get 40 mpg in city driving, and it exceeds that goal with a 42-mpg EPA city figure. The Maverick Hybrid is priced starting at $21,490 and is expected to be sold…
