Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo First Drive: Taking Taycan To New Heights
The Taycan gets ready for a rougher, more rugged road ahead. Our own Kyle Conner took us by surprise this week. That's because he enjoyed a previous opportunity to drive the upcoming Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo , though he kept it a secret. The information was embargoed, so he wasn't allowed to share it right away. Kyle says the Taycan Cross Turismo in the video above is a production-intent test mule. The same car has been making its way across the globe for folks to review. Kyle checked it out some time ago in Malibu, California. He provides a full tour of the car, as well as a test drive. For those unaware, the Taycan Cross Turismo is a more rugged version of the all-electric Taycan four-door sedan. It's more versatile and capable thanks to its wagon configuration and higher ground clearance. In addition, this fast wagon provides more passenger and cargo space than the Taycan sedan. More specifically, you'll enjoy additional rear-seat headroom. *All images courtesy … [Read more...] about Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo First Drive: Taking Taycan To New Heights
Arctic WRC: Tanak extends lead with double stage wins
The Estonian now holds a 23.6-second advantage over the Toyota of Kalle Rovanpera, who has passed the Hyundai of Craig Breen for second place overall. Britain’s Elfyn Evans, lying fifth, won the second stage of the day in his Toyota to keep the pressure on the fourth place Hyundai of Thierry Neuville. Teenage Swedish driver Oliver Solberg holds sixth place in his first-ever appearance at the wheel of a full WRC car, driving a 2020-spec Hyundai and keeping in front of the 2021-spec Toyotas of Takamoto Katsuta and defending champion Sebastien Ogier. The M-Sport Ford Fiestas of Teemu Suninen and Gus Greensmith complete the top 10. “In the end a good morning, yes, but very, very demanding,” said Tanak. “The stages are incredibly fast and at that speed, never seeing the roads, the pacenotes are never 100% and you always have places where it’s a bit this way or the other way… so far so good!” Read Also: Hyundai wants "nothing less than victory" in Arctic Rally In … [Read more...] about Arctic WRC: Tanak extends lead with double stage wins
Kia Telluride Markups Can Reach $10,000
Telluriding high. Remember when purchasing a Kia was a value-driven decision? Well, those days are behind us as customers are now paying over sticker for the Kia Telluride SUV . Think you can walk into a Kia dealership to negotiate a good deal on their desirable Telluride SUV? Better think again because according to CarsDirect you’d be lucky to pay MSRP to drive one home. The Kia Telluride has been on the market for over two years yet Kia cannot match consumer demand. This means dedicated customers need to fight past the low supply and pay over sticker to take home a Telluride. The Telluride’s main selling point was its value for money based on features and quality. Customers used to buy Kias because they would get more for their money but that’s not true for Telluride customers who routinely pay more than MSRP.

Arctic WRC: Hyundai’s Tanak dominates as Ogier retires
The Estonian’s teammate Thierry Neuville posted an electrifying time on the final stage of the day, 12.3 seconds faster than Tanak, to close within 2s of the Toyota’s Kalle Rovanpera, who holds second place overall. Three stages were run in morning loop and in repeated the afternoon, with a service at the midway point. Tyre wear and preserving the Pirelli studded rubber was the major preoccupation for most teams, with drivers finding that their front end grip fell off a cliff through the course of the day. Tanak won two stages in the morning and went fastest again on the first stage of the after the service, then settled into a rhythm and protected his tyres while Rovanpera and Neuville battled it out. “All to plan: the tyres are quite tired so it was important to get here without any mistakes, so it’s all good” said leader Tanak.
