Yahoo Autos Autoblog's June 2019 Editors' Picks
Each year we review, test and rate hundreds of brand-new cars, trucks and SUVs. We rate these vehicles using the Autoblog score, giving a select few our Editors’ Pick. Here are the best cars we drove in June 2019.
2019 BMW 8 Series
Everyone on the Autoblog staff loves a good grand tourer, so we were excited to get behind the wheel of the revived BMW 8 Series, specifically an M850i Coupe. A good GT needs to be as fast as it is stylish and comfortable, and the new 8 Series delivers. We particularly like the 523-horsepower twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8’s copious power and smooth ride quality, even on Michigan’s pockmarked post-winter roads. We dig the interior design, too, though not everyone was in love with the exterior. It’s not the best-handling car in its class, and doesn’t hide its sizable proportions very well, but it’s still worth a look if you’re looking for a big, fast cruiser.
2019 Ford Expedition
Crossovers may be the hottest vehicles on the market, but there’s still a sizable demand for traditional body-on-frame SUVs like the Ford Expedition. These behemoths offer plenty of space in addition to truck-like capability. We like the Expedition's smooth ride, powerful twin-turbo V6 and sharp exterior design, though the interior can feel a bit cheap, especially on some of the more expensive trims. Adding options quickly puts it into Lincoln Navigator territory, and it’s hard to recommend the Ford over the Lincoln when the latter packs the same capability into a far nicer package. Still, the Expedition is as good or better than the competition in most respects, and that’s why it’s one of our picks.
