Review: 2017 Mercedes-AMG C43 Cabriolet

By Kevin Harrison If you remember past episodes of Top Gear when the hosts consisted of May, Clarkson and Hammond, you'll likely recall that the former was never a fan of AMG spec'd Mercedes-Benz products.

Review: 2017 Ford Flex Limited Ecoboost

By Kevin Harrison Usually auto manufacturers send all-new vehicles or significantly updated models each week for me to try. However, Ford decided to buck the trend and send me a vehicle that hasn't been significantly updated since 2013 and around since 2008; the Flex. And to make it even more puzzling, Ford has...
