Skateboarding is not a crime, but sliding a car is. Maybe the key to reducing arrests is giving hot-rodders a place to play.
Impractical Jokers
Devotion to a regular-cab pickup takes its toll when the narrowly focused vehicle is forced into a role as everyday family transportation.
The Great Capitulation
It was only 20 years ago that the Porsche Cayenne shocked the automotive world. An SUV from the preeminent sports-car maker seemed wildly incongruous in 2002. Today it's easier to list the few automakers that don't offer one for sale than those that do.

New Cars for 2023
The past few years have been like a sadistic version of Groundhog Day. While the future has felt on hold, it's about to make up for lost time. Judging by the new-car offerings for 2023, we predict we'll be leaving our houses, going on- and off-road, in vehicles that are sleek, rugged, high-tech, bewinged, bedazzled, and dazzling. While some aging favorites retire, nascent companies offerings will rev and whir onto our streets. New-car temptation will come in many forms with electricity, old-fashioned gas grunt, or a combo of both to your covetous heart and, manufacturers hope, your garage. We present the cars, trucks, and SUVs for 2023.
