When we first reviewed the 2017 Ford Focus RS in 2016, our reviewer called it “one of the most fun, well-rounded sports cars I have ever driven.” The praise didn’t stop there either: later that year, we named it AutoGuide.com’s 2017 Car of the Year. But if you missed out on this...
Bad news for the 2,884 Americans who bought Supras in 2019 (and the 252 Canadians): Toyota is giving it a substantial update for the 2021 model year. Perhaps the least surprising news is the addition of a four-cylinder model. Other markets already had it, making it a relatively easy choice for...

Ford went in a different direction for the traditionally truck-heavy Chicago Auto Show, instead showing off its low-slung GT supercar in updated 2020 form. The GT has been on sale for a few years now, making it a prime candidate for a mid-cycle glow-up. The Blue Oval hasn’t massively...
