I drove a $63,000 Ford Raptor pickup truck for a week to see if it lived up to the hype — here’s the verdict (F)

Matthew DeBord/BI We tested the Ford Raptor, a pickup truck that goes to 11 and then some. While I didn’t bust through the wilderness with this high-performance offroader, I did take it on a couple of long drives. The Raptor truly is something special.

The ‘Vette costs more than $ 100,000 less, but the Ferrari remains king of the hill. Fresh off a battle between the Porsche 911 Carrera […]

We drove a $90,000 Mercedes E400 Coupé and were completely blown away

Mercedes-Benz The E400 is a beautifully composed luxury two-door. It isn’t cheap, but it’s mostly worth it. This is a premium coupé for discerning students of the genre.

We drove a $35,000 Mustang and a $120,000 Porsche to see which we liked better — here’s the verdict (F)

Hollis Johnson Both the Porsche 911 and the Ford Mustang have been around since the mid-1960s. The Porsche 911 Carrera GTS and the Ford Mustang GT have some similar specs, but different engineering and a big difference in the price tags. For the money, it’s hard to beat the Mustang. I like Porsches, always have. […]
