2020 Porsche 911 Reviews SummaryA new Porsche 911 is a historic event deserving a ticker-tape parade. Its humble, altogether feeble beginnings as the Porsche 356, a Volkswagen Beetle offshoot, have progressed over six decades as the reigning champion of all sports cars. The 911 is the standard for exacting engineering, performance, and an iconic design that copies no other car in the world. Praise! Most cars aren't so deserving. There are some drawbacks to the 2020 911, the eighth-generation model known to enthusiasts as the 992. But sorry, negative Nancies, there aren't many. | |
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. | |
