Oh joy, Top Gear’s talking about the Dodge Charger again. Indeed we are. In case you missed it, we gave the Dodge Charger Sixpack our first US Car of the Year award just last fall (or autumn, depending on who’s editing this). It squeaked in at the last second to top the other cars in…

Polestar 4 – long-term review
You wouldn’t expect a company to triple its range in one fell swoop, but in 2024 Polestar went from 2-only to 2, 3 and 4. The 4 being cheaper than the 3, huh? Both 4 and 3 are similar sized. And Polestar wants us not to be confused… Even more strange, the 4 and 3…

Get ready for spring with these 17 convertible used classics for under £30k
Buying an affordable cabriolet used to be simple. Point yourself at any mainstream car dealer and they’d have several dinky drop-tops for sale. Remember the Megane CC, Micra C+C or Cascada?

GMA T.50s Niki Lauda review: more power, less mass, more aero…
Wibble… Exactly! This is the GMA T.50s Niki Lauda and it’s enough to make us go weak at the knees.

The T.50s is a track-only…
