The 2027 Ford F-150 has been revealed, bringing hands-free highway towing, a new standard 3.0-liter turbocharged V6, fresh styling and the return of the 5.0-liter V8 to King Ranch and Platinum.

Nik Miles gets an exclusive first look at America’s best-selling truck, including BlueCruise with Towing, the new F-150 Carhartt, and more affordable Tremor Low and Raptor Low configurations.

BlueCruise with Towing can operate with a properly configured compatible trailer weighing up to 10,000 pounds—but drivers must remain attentive and ready to take control.

Is hands-free towing the most important F-150 innovation in years? Watch the complete reveal and tell us what you think.

I got an early look at Hyundai’s new Pleos Connect software and Gleo AI. Here’s how this technology could change future Hyundai, Kia and Genesis vehicles with apps, AI and over-the-air updates.

What sets this car apart?
At first glance, it’s that silhouette—swoopy, sculpted, and just aggressive enough to scare a Range Rover off its valet perch. But under the bonnet (that’s “hood” for the American audience), the GV80 Coupe packs a choice of two engines: a 375-hp twin-turbo V6 or a 409-hp “e-supercharged” version for those who feel personally victimized by slow traffic.
It’s not just the power—it’s the presentation. The 27-inch OLED display stretches across the dash like an Apple Store on wheels, framed by real wood, Nappa leather, and the sort of stitching you’d expect on Savile Row.
In short, the GV80 Coupe has the nerve to waltz into a segment ruled by German old money and declare, “I’m not here to blend in.”
Is it truly a performance SUV?
Yes—and no. The GV80 Coupe isn’t trying to lap the Nürburgring. It’s not a sports car masquerading as a crossover. What it is, however, is brisk, refined, and occasionally cheeky. Think of it as a Bentley that moonlights as a nightclub bouncer.
It wafts. It purrs. It even leans in when you’re being a bit irresponsible on an on-ramp. But does it handle like an X6 M? Of course not. And thank heavens for that—most owners will be dodging potholes in Westchester, not chasing lap times.
How does this affect everyday drivers?
In ways that genuinely matter. The GV80 Coupe is the rare luxury vehicle that doesn’t demand a personality transplant to drive. You don’t have to choose between ride quality and tech, or between power and poise.
Genesis also equips it with adaptive cruise, auto lane changes, and a suspension that reads the road like it’s checking Yelp reviews. It’s practically clairvoyant—and remarkably unflustered, even when your in-laws are not.
The only caveat? That dramatic sloping roofline does nibble away at rear headroom and cargo space. If you’re over six feet tall, bring a chiropractor.
Is this a game-changer or just hype?
This might be the most important SUV Genesis has ever built. Why? Because it doesn’t chase German templates—it subverts them.
Genesis didn’t try to out-Audi Audi. They didn’t bolt on carbon fibre and call it “sporty.” Instead, they’ve crafted a bold, luxurious, and technologically savvy SUV that dares to be different.
And in a market flooded with anonymous metal, different is priceless.
Why should you care?
Because we’re entering a new era of automotive identity. The GV80 Coupe isn’t trying to be for everyone—and that’s precisely why it works. It’s confident without being cocky, futuristic without being faddish.
It speaks to drivers who are over badge-snobbery but still crave quality. Drivers who want theatre, but also silence. Who want sportiness, but not spinal trauma.
And in a world where every luxury SUV seems to come in three shades of gray and four flavors of “mildly intimidating,” the GV80 Coupe dares to be... orange. Literally. There's a limited “Magma” paint option, and it's glorious.
So... is it worth the $81K to $87K price tag?
If you’re shopping German, that barely gets you into the game. In the Genesis, it gets you the works—premium trim, serious power, and enough tech to launch a small satellite.
And here's the thing: Genesis doesn’t make you pay for prestige. You won’t be nickel-and-dimed for heated cupholders and semi-functional gesture controls. You get value. Actual, measurable value. A shocker, I know.
Final verdict?
The GV80 Coupe isn’t trying to outgun the competition—it’s rewriting the rules. It’s not perfect, but it’s undeniably special. It’s the sort of car that makes you nod knowingly at red lights and feel rather pleased with yourself in Whole Foods parking lots.
In other words, Genesis didn’t just build a car. They built a point.

The Mercedes-Benz VLE can add roughly 200 miles of range in just 15 minutes—and carry up to eight people. But this isn’t simply an electric van. It’s a luxury family vehicle, mobile office, gaming room, dog transporter, and potentially even an emergency power source for your home.

Nik Miles explores the all-new Mercedes VLE, including its claimed European range of more than 435 miles, 409-horsepower dual-motor system, rear-wheel steering, AIRMATIC suspension, movable seating, 31.3-inch 8K display, Xbox-ready entertainment system, and 22-speaker Burmester audio.

Mercedes says the VLE combines the comfort and technology of an S-Class with the space and flexibility families—and their dogs—actually need. Could this be the most complete electric family vehicle yet?

U.S. range, pricing, specifications, and availability remain pending.

The 2026 Honda Prelude is back after 25 years—but its strangest feature may also be its smartest.

Press the new S+ Shift button and the hybrid Prelude simulates an eight-speed transmission, complete with paddle-controlled shifts, changing engine sounds and interruptions in power. The result feels surprisingly convincing—even though it actually makes the car slower.

Nik Miles tests Honda’s controversial “fake gears,” the Civic Type R-derived suspension and brakes, everyday practicality, technology, fuel economy and whether this 200-horsepower hybrid coupe is worth approximately $42,000.

Is the new Prelude an overpriced hybrid—or has Honda discovered that driving enjoyment matters more than acceleration numbers?

Watch the complete review, then tell us: Would you use a performance mode that deliberately makes your car slower?
