2020 Ford Mustang Reviews SummaryFord is in the midst of a revolutionary transformation away from new cars, toward trucks and SUVs, and away from internal combustion engines and toward electrification. The 2020 Ford Mustang burns gasoline and rubber at the precipice, on the eve of its own conversion from an individual model to a performance sub-brand as the automaker rolls out the electric Mustang Mach-E SUV. While Ford looks to the future of the Mustang, we take a nostalgic look back at the design and performance that helps the sports car nameplate to endure, perfectly encapsulated in the Mustang Bullitt special edition. | |
2021 BMW 4 Series Reviews SummaryThe 2021 BMW 4 Series represents how, for better or worse, BMW has changed. The 4 Series name has been around since the 2014 model year when it was introduced for the former 3 Series coupe and convertible. Earlier two-door 3 Series models built BMW’s reputation, with excellent handling, smooth yet powerful engines, and understated styling. The redesigned second-generation 4 Series departs dramatically from that template. It’s bigger and more luxurious, with garish styling and a greater reliance on technology for performance. The car’s rivals haven’t changed though. It still competes against the Audi A5, Mercedes-Benz C-Class, Lexus RC, and Infiniti Q60 for buyers willing to sacrifice a bit of practicality to make a fashion statement. As before, the 4 Series is available in coupe and convertible body styles—the latter with a soft-top instead of the previous retractable hardtop. Both body styles are offered in four-cylinder 430i and six-cylinder M440i configurations, with high-performance M4 variants also offered. Rear-wheel drive is standard on the cabrio models, while xDrive all-wheel drive is mandatory on the coupe in Canada. Our test drive was in a 430i xDrive coupe. | |
