Our review of the most powerful Volkswagen Golf to ever come to North America proved popular this past week. 

The Golf R uses a 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder that makes 292 hp and 280 lb-ft of torque, sent to all four wheels.

Jeep's new compact crossover also attracted attention last week. The Renegade impressed us with its on road manners, but how does this Jeep handle when the pavement ends? Read the review to find out.

The first installment in our long-term test of the new GMC Canyon makes the third spot on this list. We're living with GM's new midsize truck for four months to see how it handles work and play.

The new Volvo S60 Polestar hits the fourth spot. Volvo is shedding its boring reputation with the new line of Poletstar models and the S60 proves it.

Finally, the new Corvette Z06 is still attracting eyeballs. A 6.2-liter supercharged V8 powers this supercar killer, sending 650 hp straight to the rear wheels.

You're getting your first look at the 2016 Audi R8 before it officially debuts at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show.

While we've seen spy photos of the new Audi R8 in the past, this is the first time an image has leaked showing it off in production form without any camouflage. As one of the most anticipated debuts at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show, the 2016 Audi R8 looks to get a much more angular front end and noticeably missing are the sports car's characteristic side blades.

The next-generation R8 will share its platform with the Lamborghini Huracán and is rumored to come standard with a new 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine with around 460 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque. Those looking for a good 'ol V10 will get to choose from two power outputs with the lesser 5.2-liter V10 pushing out 540 hp and 398 lb-ft of torque while the more powerful option will have 600 hp and 413 lb-ft of torque. Also expect the R8 to be about 130 lbs lighter than its predecessor when it bows early next month.
