Reviews SummaryThe fourth-gen Tacoma is also the first Tacoma to share a platform with the larger Toyota Tundra. (The TNGA-F platform also underpins the Sequoia and the just-revived Land Cruiser.) It launches in six trim levels, each powered by a turbocharged four-cylinder engine, and the Tacoma's first-ever hybrid powertrain is due in the spring of 2024, along with two additional trims. We traveled to Malibu, CA to drive the all-new Tacoma in all of its gas-only guises. | |
Reviews SummaryWhen we think Civic, our minds don’t instinctively leap toward the Type R. This isn’t a commuter special priced for newly minted drivers and aimed at sensible manners and good fuel economy. Driving the Type R is something else entirely: bombastic, fast, and an instantly memorable experience. With more power and performance, the new 2023 Honda Civic Type R provides a more exhilarating driving experience than ever before. | |
