Reviews SummaryAs Volkswagen prepares to 86 the Beetle in favor of its new retro retread, the electric I.D. Buzz, it has decided to use the little nod to nostalgia as one of the promotional platforms for its new 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. With a new combustion cycle developed at VW, this larger engine offers the Beetle some extra economy for its final lap. But rather than letting the Beetle fade into iconic history, VW has a last blast to bestow in the form of a special “Coast” edition that comes with a unique trim treatment and paint job. | |
Reviews SummaryNo new car feels so comfortably worn as the Jeep Wrangler, and arguably none has a more fanatical and fiercely loyal group of followers than this 77-year-old American brand. The Wrangler is a sun-loving, rock-hopping, mud-caked happy face on four wheels, which after 10 years—twice as long as most automakers allow a vehicle’s design to remain unchanged—is finally all-new for 2018. While the solid-axle, body-on-frame Wrangler Unlimited has no direct competitors aside from the Toyota 4Runner, the latest model’s performance, practicality, and technology is thoroughly improved. We drove the two-door 2018 JL Wrangler in a separate test. This review focuses on the Unlimited, the four-door version that Jeep first introduced for 2007. | |
