2020 Ford Mustang Reviews SummaryFord is in the midst of a revolutionary transformation away from cars, toward trucks and SUVs, and away from internal combustion engines and toward electrification. The 2020 Ford Mustang burns gasoline and rubber at the precipice, on the eve of its own conversion from an individual model to a performance sub-brand as the automaker prepares to roll out the electric Mustang Mach-E SUV. While Ford looks to the future of the Mustang, we take a nostalgic look back at the design and performance that helps the nameplate to endure, perfectly encapsulated in the Mustang Bullitt special edition. | |
2021 Mercedes-Benz CLA Reviews SummaryThe entry-level luxury car market has come a long way in the past decade. When upscale automakers first went downmarket, they tended to miss the mark and fail to reach the level of quality that buyers associate with their badges. But they have often come around and finally started producing compact cars with legitimate luxury credentials. One such comeback story is the 2021 Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class. When the CLA was first introduced as a 2014 model, it did not live up to the Mercedez-Benz reputation for luxury. It was underpowered, had a harsh ride, and had a low-grade interior. That all changed with the arrival of its replacement for the 2020 model year. The coupe-like sedan was a significant improvement and it carries over to the 2021 model year. The current CLA has sharp styling, energetic performance, and a high-class interior that’s outfitted with an advanced user interface. | |
