Head 2 Head

- Season 7

(2016)

After Motor Trend named the all-new Camaro our 2016 Car of the Year, Angus Mackenzie wrote an article entitled "Revelation" in which he said that the Camaro SS was a better driver's car than the then new BMW 340i. Thing is, Jason Cammisa and Jonny Lieberman have both driven the 340i, and they felt that being better than said Bimmer isn't much of an accomplishment. Being better than the much-ballyhooed M4 on the other hand, well, that would be something. After all, the M4 is the car that all other companies look to when trying to figure out how to break into the luxury...

Jonny Lieberman and Jason Cammisa pair up two very expensive SUVs to find out which one is worth the over $200k price tag.

The 600hp Germano-British Bentley Bentayga can reach speeds of 187 mph, making it the fastest SUV of all time. But the Tesla Model X P90D with Ludicrous Mode, can rip off a 3.2-second 0-to-60. Which is faster through the quarter-mile? We drag race the two to find out. Then we pit them against a pair of Alfa Romeo 4C Spiders. Why? You'll need to watch to find out. But trust us, it's worth your time. Are both of these SUVs worth the money? That depends on your definition of luxury- it's Ye Olde Tyme English drawing-room posh versus High-Tech Silicon Valley rolling ...

Jason Cammisa and Jonny Lieberman try to tackle an age-old problem: What do you compare Audi's iconic TT against? This is the 292-horsepower TTS, and therefore you might think that the Porsche Cayman would be the obvious competitor. Only problem is the Cayman begins life as a Porsche, whereas underneath its smartly fold skin, the Audi is a Volkswagen Golf. So what about the Alfa Romeo 4C? Behind the driver sit the engine and transmission from an economy car, and bits of the interior are contemporary with Bill Clinton's first presidential run. Now we're talking. And ...

Detroit's steroidal hammer meets Japan's savvy sword. Many car folks feel the midsize luxury sport performance sedan peaked with the E39 BMW M5. They may very well be right, but that doesn't mean car makers are going to stop trying. In the black corner, packing a supercharged Corvette engine under its vented hood and producing a staggering 640 hp is Cadillac's third-generation CTS-V. Gone, but never to be forgotten, are the coupe, wagon, and manual transmission. However, the Alpha platform underpinning the third-generation CTS is one of the sportiest, best driving in ...

Jason Cammisa and Jonny Lieberman head down to the L.A. River to answer the hundred-thousand-dollar (and then some!) question: S Class or 7 Series? When you think of fullsize luxury sedans, the first image that pops into your mind is most likely the Mercedes-Benz S Class. A true giant of the automotive field, the S Class not only defines the segment, it-along with the E-Class-defines Mercedes-Benz. Imposing, potent, opulent, safe, technologically advanced-for a six-figure price, the S Class has it all. Buying one is something of a no-brainer. That doesn't mean there ...

Jason Cammisa and Jonny Lieberman set out to find the ultimate hot hatch. These cars feature plenty of power, grip, agility, and, most importantly, fun - and who doesn't love fun? There's perhaps no quicker, more enjoyable way to bomb down a winding road than in a turbocharged, all-wheel-drive compact hatchback.

It's high time for a Japanese super-car smack-down. Ever since the Nissan GT-R finally came to America for the 2009 model year, it's lacked a hometown rival. For 2017, Godzilla gets a refresh just in time to do battle with the brand-new Acura NSX. The NSX is a rolling tech showcase, combining a mid-mounted, twin-turbocharged, 75-degree, 3.5L V-6 and (for the first time ever) two electric motors up front, providing real torque vectoring across the front axle. It also features a third electric motor sandwiched between the gasoline engine and a nine-speed dual-clutch ...

The brand-new Corvette Grand Sport combines the Stingray's 460hp V-8 with the wide body from the Z06. The refreshed 911 Carrera S uses two turbochargers for the first time, making 420 hp from its rear-mounted flat-six. In execution, these two sports cars couldn't be more different, and yet, they both offer super-car-slaying performance with a more affordable price tag. They're both brilliant sports cars, but the big question is whether the Chevy's outrageous cornering grip is enough to beat the 911's ludicrous straight-line speed. Motor Trend Senior Features Editors ...

Jason and Jonny spend time with both to decide which makes the better Gran Coupe. Then, with the help of hall-of-fame race car driver Randy Pobst, we find out which four-door coupe is faster around the track.

Jason and Jonny head to New York City and then out into the fall leaves to figure out which is the best big convertible.

Motor Trend Senior Features Editors Jason Cammisa and Jonny Lieberman are in a bind. Before having driven Alfa Romeo's first rear-wheel-drive sports sedan in 30 years, they didn't know what its closest competitor would be. So they brought all of them: a 2016 BMW M3 Competition Package, a 2016 Cadillac ATS-V, and a 2016 Mercedes-AMG C63 S. After looking at hall-of-fame race car driver Randy Pobst's lap times around Chuckwalla Valley Raceway, they picked the strongest competitor to do battle with the Alfa. Then, the duo hit the road to see which is the best midsize ...
