If James Bond ever decided to settle down, he’d probably cruise the English countryside in an Aston Martin DBX707.The SUV from 007’s preferred brand offers enough room for a family, an exquisite interior that should satisfy any spy’s refined tastes, and plenty of horsepower to outrun the bad guys — or catch them.Smokescreens and grenades were curiously excluded from my otherwise generously appointed test car, but I’m sure Q could do something about that.The DBX707 is the high-octane version of A…

An explosion in cool, new cars means that choosing between electric and gas-powered has never been tougher.For example, Mercedes-Benz now sells the EQS, an electric equivalent to its top-dog S-Class sedan. I drove an EQS and an S-Class to see what’s different and similar between the two cars — besides the obvious.The 2022 EQS I drove was the EQS 580 4MATIC, which in Mercedes-speak means it’s the more powerful model with all-wheel drive. The 2023 S-Class I tested was the S580e 4MATIC, meaning it…

Most Americans still don't want an electric car — and many go back ...

Tesla is far from the only game in town anymore as legacy automakers from Volkswagen to Toyota jump headfirst into the world of electric vehicles.

They have an affordability problem.Surveys show there are plenty of people out there who are curious — enthusiastic, even — about going electric. But enthusiasm only gets you so far when snapping up a new EV costs over $50,000 on average…
