I should probably start this by admitting I have never once sang professionally in my life. Sure, I’m a die-hard shower crooner, but I wouldn’t count my Adele rendition in a list of “stage experiences”. Nevertheless, there’s something quite amazing about a capella and the enormous amount of skill behind it. So when I was […]

(credit: Samuel Axon) When Apple released macOS High Sierra 10.13.4 on March 29, fully supported external graphics-card functionality was one of the flagship features.

– There’s a BMW roundel stuck to the C-pillar of the new X2. It’s an impossible-to-miss detail on a crossover-hatchback thing that is in itself impossible to miss, especially in Galvanic Gold Metallic.

– It’s hard to be two things at once—just look at the success rate of famous double agents. Robert Hanssen: serving 15 consecutive life sentences. Julius and Ethel Rosenberg: electric chair(s). Severus Snape: snake bite. The consequences of competing loyalties are less dire in the world of mass-produced consumer goods, but it’s easy to spot […]

Drive several in a row, as we often do during days of testing or as car shoppers might on a particularly exhausting Saturday afternoon, and they can blend together.

– How you feel in the brief pause between switching off the engine and opening the door tells you nearly everything about a car. In most good ones, there’s a warm afterglow of emotions and contemplation reminiscent of the finest psychotropics. Shutting off a Porsche 911 GT3’s flat-six leaves you suspended in silence, a brief […]
– If you were to blend all of today’s three-row crossovers into a single, entirely average concoction, the Nissan Pathfinder would be the result. Although its nameplate evokes its off-road heritage—the original Pathfinder was a tough, truck-based four-wheel-drive sport-utility vehicle—the current model is a pleasant enough family bus with seven seats and a comfortable ride […]
– When Ford introduced the C-Max hybrid to the U.S. market for 2013, it felt modern and virtuous, a glimpse at what a greener future could look like. In the years since its introduction, the industry has moved much closer to that efficient future while the C-Max has rested on its laurels. It has skated […]
