OUR TAKE: This is a stunning machine. The exterior design is absolutely fantastic. When stopped at a red light, a pristine, black Porsche Cayman S came screaming up from behind in the next lane. The driver simply rolled down his window and said, “That’s beautiful.” Absolutely right.
The interior is nearly as impressive. The front seats […]

More power and a lot more technology–that’s the new Lexus LX 570.
The engine and the six-speed automatic are pulled straight from Toyota’s Tundra and Land Cruiser. The old LX 470 made only 268 hp from its 4.7-liter V8, barely enough to move the 5590-pound SUV around. The new 5995-pound LX 570 goes up to […]

We assembled 20 bottles from their various wineries–including Panoz’s Diablo Grande California varietals rather than his […]
