Racing Fall in 2024 Toyota GR86

America on the Road ·

2023/09/30

You might call it the Rodney Dangerfield of sports coupes. The Toyota GR86, in the words of that fabled comedian, “don’t get no respect,” but the fact is, it deserves some. Our Co-Host Chris Teague put a GR86 through its paces as summer transitioned to fall in Maine, and the car passed with flying (fall) colors. Toyota (Subaru?) added a bit more horsepower to the GR86 (BRZ) recently, and the results are palpable. And, more to the point, enjoyable. And if you want to talk about enjoyment, you should

Putting 2023 Honda Civic Type R to Test in Maine

America on the Road ·

2023/09/23

The Honda Civic Type R is the highest-performance version of one of the most popular cars in the United States. The all-new version continues a proud legacy as the most powerful model in the Type R's 30-year history. The car is based on the 11th generation Civic Hatchback, the 2023 Type R is powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter engine that whirs out 315 horsepower. Among its other claims to fame, it is the most powerful Honda-branded vehicle ever offered in the Unites States. The engine is matched

Driving All-New, All-Electric Kia EV9 3-Row SUV

America on the Road ·

2023/09/16

The Kia EV9 is an important step in the effort to move electric vehicles from the status symbols of the rich to everyday vehicles for mainstream Americans. And what could be more mainstream American than a three-row SUV? That’s the market the Kia EV9 is trying to crack as the first non-luxury battery-electric dedicated three-row SUV to hit the American marketplace. It brings plenty of positives to its effort — expressive exterior design, roomy cabin, advanced driver assistance features, and several

Charging Back to the Future in the 2023 Dodge Charger...

America on the Road ·

2023/09/09

If you’re counting, the 2023 Dodge Charger R/T Scat Pack Swinger is the fourth of seven special-edition Dodge “Last Call” models and it offers a nostalgic look back to the unique style of the Dodge brand’s “swinging” musclecar lineup of the late 1960s and early 1970s. The original Dodge Dart Swinger was part of the Dodge “Scat Pack,” packing big-time horsepower into a compact package at an affordable price. It offered the aesthetics of the era that included green-on-green interior/exterior color

[As hosts Jack Nerad and Chris Teague take Labor Day weekend off, this is the repeat of a popular episode that originally aired in July. Jack and Chris will be back with an all-new episode next week.] While many claim the future is electric, statistics indicate the present day is ICE. Further evidence of that came this week with reports that inventories of newly introduced electric vehicles are piling up on dealer lots and in manufacturer inventories. While this is a cloud for many in the industry,

Why the Subaru WRX Might Be Best Performance Bargain...

America on the Road ·

2023/08/26

After a week in one of the most enjoyable vehicles he’s driven this year, Host Jack Nerad concluded that the 2023 Subaru WRX performance sedan might be the best performance bargain in the land right now. If it’s not, it comes very close. The current WRX is based on a stiff chassis that contributes to its all-around handling. Its standard all-wheel-drive gives it a very connected feel, no matter the conditions. And its turbocharged engine provides enough go-power to keep things interesting. Whether

2 Months Behind Wheel of 2023 Volkswagen Golf R

2023/08/19

We have an unusual road test for you in this week’s episode of America on the Road. Instead of testing a car provided to us by one of the car manufacturers, Co-Host Chris Teague will road test a car he recently purchased, a 2023 Volkswagen Golf R. Chris considered two other great performance cars before he decided on the Golf R — the Toyota GR Corolla and the Honda Civic Type R. He’ll tell us why he settled on the Golf R and how it’s been working out for him so far. In our other road test this

Toyota is bringing back a legendary vehicle after a hiatus, and we’ll give you an in-depth look at it coming up. It looks like Toyota is poised to go head-to-head with another legendary brand.

Hot As An Electric Burner: Road-testing 2023 Kia EV6 GT

America on the Road ·

2023/08/05

Does a midsize crossover EV need to be as quick as an exotic car from a specialty carmaker? Probably not. But the 2023 Kia EV6 GT is that quick, as Co-Host Chris Teague discovered in this week’s road test. It offers its driver access to a staggering 576 horsepower. From a standstill, it will rocket to 60 miles per hour in just 3.2 seconds. That’s supercar territory. It's an incredible performance from a mass-market vehicle with a sub-$70,000 pricetag. But the EV6 GT will also perform the more

Road Testing New 2024 Ford Mustang GT in SoCal Mountains

America on the Road ·

2023/07/29

This week we discuss what we discovered when Host Jack Nerad was among the first journalists to drive the seventh-generation Ford Mustang. While the “all-new” 2024 Mustang offers buyers the choice of a turbocharged four-cylinder engine or a naturally aspirated V8, it’s hard not to view the V8 version as "the real Mustang." The turbofour does offer a reasonable dose of horsepower — 315 to be exact — but the 5.0-liter V8 in the 2024 Mustang GT delivers 480 horsepower and 415 pound-feet of torque

While many claim the future is electric, statistics indicate the present day is ICE. Further evidence of that came this week with reports that inventories of newly introduced electric vehicles are piling up on dealer lots and in manufacturer inventories. While this is a cloud for many in the industry, it might represent a silver lining for all those who have been hankering for an electric vehicle, but either couldn’t find one at all or were unwilling to pay well beyond the suggested list price to

2023 Toyota Camry Hybrid Reminds Us Why We Love Cars

America on the Road ·

2023/07/15

The 2023 Toyota Camry isn’t a performance car. It doesn’t offer sizzling acceleration or knife-edge handling. In fact, it is exactly what we used to describe as a family car. But as Co-Host Chris Teague found when he drove the Camry for a week in and around Washington, D.C., the current Camry reminds all of us why we enjoy driving. Admittedly, it doesn’t offer the versatility of the ubiquitous crossover SUV, but it does offer a connection to the road that few crossovers can match. The Camry

2023 Nissan Frontier in the Year of the Midsize Pickup

2023/07/08

The Nissan Frontier started what promises to be a parade of all-new midsize pickup trucks over the course of the next year. General Motors has already started to sell its brand-new Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon. Soon Ford will follow suit with its completely new 2024 Ford Ranger that we detailed for you last week. And Toyota has revealed its 2024 Toyota Tacoma, the completely revamped version of the sales leader in the segment. So how does the 2023 Nissan Frontier stack up in this flurry of

[This is a repeat of one of our most popular episodes this year. Jack and Chris are celebrating the Fourth of July, and they'll be back with an all-new new show on Saturday, July 8.] Ford has just pulled the wraps off the all-new 2024 Ford Ranger and Ford Ranger Raptor, and we’ll have an exclusive interview with the truck’s marketing manager, Gretchen Sauer. The all-new Ranger is a serious step up from the previous edition, which had an overseas focus and was rushed into the U.S. market as midsize

Why 2023 Nissan Leaf Is Better Buy Than You Think

America on the Road ·

2023/06/24

Many critics might tell you the 2023 Nissan Leaf is well past its prime and a purveyor of old tech. But after a week in the Leaf, Host Jack Nerad came to a different conclusion. It might be one of the best electric car values on the market right now. In its upscale SV form the Leaf offers 212 miles of range and a 214-horsepower 160-kW electric motor. While these aren’t stunning numbers, they must be viewed in the context of the suggested retail price. At $37,750, including the $1,095 destination

Lexus Unveils a Pair: 2024 Lexus GX, 2024 Lexus TX

Lexus has just unveiled two all-new vehicles that promise to shake up the burgeoning luxury SUV market in the United States. We were there for the “double feature” event where the Japanese luxury brand unveiled the all-new 2024 Lexus GX and the all-new 2024 Lexus TX. Staying connected while we are in our cars is critical for many of us. Now a new study shows just how important that is to American consumers and to the carmakers and data providers that are vying tooth and nail for what is predicted

Hitting the Desert Dirt in the 2023 Ford F-150 Tremor

America on the Road ·

2023/06/10

Jealously guarding its position as the maker of the bestselling pickup model in the United States, Ford develops and offers the Ford F-150 in a wide variety of work truck, personal-use, and off-road versions. One of our all-around favorites is the 2023 Ford F-150 Tremor, a vehicle we tested this week. To build it, Ford engineers started with the fully boxed steel frame, aluminum alloy body, and varied powertrains of the standard F-150 and modified it to give it more appeal to off-road enthusiasts

2023 Lexus NX 450h F Sport Hits High Notes

2023/06/03

While the Lexus NX has underwhelmed many in previous incarnations, the 2023 NX 450h F Sport gets the recipe right. It is luxurious and fun to drive at the same time, as Host Jack Nerad found during his week-long road test of the small luxury crossover. With 302 horsepower on tap from its plug-in hybrid powertrain, the NX takes on a performance-oriented demeanor that other trims in the line only hint at. On top of the extra juice, the plug-in version provides buyers with 37 miles of all-electric

The 2023 Ford F-150 Raptor R is the coolest truck in the Ford stable. This week AOTR Co-Host Chris Teague got the chance to match it up against the toughest tests Maine has to offer, including heavy-duty off-road driving and, toughest of all, a round trip to the home improvement store to get patio bricks and 50-pound bags of mulch. How did the truck do in those difficult circumstances? We’ll tell you in this episode. While Chris Teague was hauling bricks, Host Jack Nerad was hauling ass in the 2023

Inside General Motor’s Ultra Cruise: Exclusive Interview

General Motors has been gathering many plaudits for its Super Cruise semi-autonomous driving system, but soon it will be supplemented by the even more sophisticated Ultra Cruise. To go in-depth on the intricacies of Ultra Cruise, our special guest this week is Tonny Kraatz, assistant chief engineer on the program. Super Cruise is a highway-only system approved for hundreds of thousands of miles in the United States, but it lacks the door-to-door self-driving abilities of Ultra Cruise. In our
