2020 KIA TELLURIDE SX FIRST TEST: BIG, BOXY, AND ACTUALLY COOL or years, if you wanted a  Kia  that wasn't a minivan and had room for seven, your only choice was the three-row version of the Sorento crossover. The problem was, even after Kia redesigned the Sorento for 2016, the third row wasn't the kind of place you'd want to put a person with legs. For families who like the idea of being able to carry two extra passengers in a pinch, that was fine. But for anyone who needed to regularly use that third row, the Sorento was a hard sell. That's where the all-new  2020 Kia Telluride  comes in. Even though it's still technically a midsize crossover, the Telluride is the largest vehicle Kia has ever built. Compared with the current Sorento, it has about a 5-inch-longer wheelbase and is nearly 8 inches longer overall. That means the Telluride is also a few inches bigger than the  Honda Pilot  and even  the new Toyota Highlander . It is, however, a bit...

LAMBORGHINI HURACAN STERRATO REVIEW: WILD THING Sterrato . It's one of those wonderful, not quite translatable Italian words. Similar to  countach , a Piedmontese expression that's a cross between "holy cow" and something a bit bluer.  Sterrato , then, in the broadest sense, means dirt road. But s terrato  is more like an unplowed field. It's untamed, unconquered. In English we might say the back 40. As you might know, Sant'Agata Bolognese, the rural town where  Lamborghini 's HQ sits, is farm country. Ferruccio Lamborghini made his first fortune building tractors. Most of the roads around Sant'Agata are s terratos . What this has to do with a 630-horsepower Mars attack rover, I will leave up to you, dear reader. If nothing else, it's a fun word to say.  Sterrato . As has now become something of a tradition, Lamborghini's head of engineering, Maurizio Reggiani, flew yours truly and just three other journalists to southern Italy for less ...

RANGER FIGHTER: IS THIS RAM'S DAKOTA MIDSIZE SUCCESSOR? UPDATE:  We may have jumped the gun with our  Dodge  Dakota successor theory, as previous spy shots show what appears to be an independent rear suspension setup. It's more likely a mule for the upcoming  Jeep  Grand Wagoneer, which will be  built at FCA's Warren truck plant  and is likely to share basic architecture with the  Ram 1500 . Still, a cool sight to see in our own neighborhood. FCA can no longer ignore the booming global midsize truck market. It has the  Jeep Gladiator  now, but with its  starting price of just over $35,000 , that model isn't an ideal competitor for mainstream variants of the  Toyota Tacoma ,  Chevrolet Colorado , and  Ford Ranger —not to mention other small pickups sold around the world. In its  five-year plan  announced last year, FCA vowed to fill that gap with a midsize  Ram  truck, and we may have gotten ...

GM BOOSTS PRODUCTION OF CHEVROLET SILVERADO, GMC SIERRA HD TRUCKS Last month, GM said it was investing $24 million at its Fort Wayne assembly plant in Indiana to increase production of the  Chevrolet Silverado 1500  and  GMC  1500 pickups. Now, the automaker is anticipating high demand for its redesigned heavy-duty trucks, injecting $150 million into its Flint assembly plant in Michigan. The Flint plant is shipping the first batch of redesigned  Chevrolet Silverado  and  GMC Sierra heavy-duty trucks  to dealers this week. Shown earlier this year, these trucks promise 52 percent greater maximum towing capacity than previous versions for a total of 35,500 pounds. The models also boast powertrain upgrades including a new 10-speed Allison automatic transmission for the 6.6-liter diesel engine, as well as more advanced cabin technologies.
