From Mazdas to Maybachs and Tacomas to Teslas, 2015 was an exciting year in the automotive world and on MotorTrend.com. Readers’ favorites spanned the market, and we can’t wait to see what generates interest in the year ahead. Before we get that far, though, let’s take a look at the most-viewed Motor Trend articles of 2015—how many of these stories have you read?
The Tesla Model S has grabbed hold of the public’s curiosity, but few can review the latest go-fast version of the all-electric wonder like Motor Trend. We reviewed, photographed, and track-tested the 2015 Tesla Model S P90D with the Ludicrous upgrade. The result? The Model S P90D with the Ludicrous upgrade hit 60 mph in only 2.6 seconds, quicker than all but two vehicles we’ve ever tested. Read the review to find out what two cars out-accelerate the Tesla to 60.
Mercedes-Benz’s first attempt at reviving the Maybach nameplate ended quietly a few years ago, but there was lots of interest in the new-for-2016 Mercedes-Maybach S600. Is the Mercedes-Maybach S600 nothing but a fancy, overpriced S-Class, or is it something greater? Revisit the review here.
Squeaking by the 14th-place Mercedes-Maybach is the new Malibu. The previous-generation Malibu midsize sedan didn’t have the best reputation at Motor Trend, but the 2016 Malibu 1.5T appears to be a big step in the right direction. Read the review and check out the test numbers here.
The Chevrolet Colorado may have earned the title of 2015 and 2016 Motor Trend Truck of the Year, but interest in the Tacoma remains high. The revised Tacoma was an online hit from the 2015 Detroit auto show in January, and the truck has remained popular since. Read our 2016 Toyota Tacoma V-6 First Test review here.
That’s right: one of the most popular stories of 2015 was written in 2012. The Acura NSX has been delayed so many times over the years that it’s hard to believe the intriguing supercar challenger is nearly here. Discover how much the 2017 Acura NSX (pictured above) will cost right here.
Speaking of cars overdue for a redesign, the Mazda CX-9 debuted at the 2015 Los Angeles Auto Show ready to take on the Ford Explorer, Honda Pilot, Toyota Highlander, and other three-row crossovers. Shortly after the CX-9 debuted, we drove and reviewed a prototype—read the review here.
When we evaluate, test, and photograph three of the U.S.’ best-selling vehicles, readers took notice. And even though the Ford vs. Chevrolet vs. Ram full-size truck test was published back in late November of 2014, the controversial comparison was seen enough in the year 2015 to make it into this list’s top 10.
The Camaro is back! Motor Trend readers have been engaged in every part of the ponycar’s story, including the test numbers of the eight-cylinder 2016 Camaro SS. But this is just the first time the Camaro appears on this list. …
Like the 2016 Toyota Tacoma, the 2015 Ram 1500 Rebel debuted at the 2015 Detroit auto show and captured readers’ attention. The special off-road-ready truck expands the Ram 1500 lineup and was recently featured in a comparison test against the Toyota Tundra TRD Pro. Read that story here.

The 2015 Los Angeles Auto Show featured everything from a 400-hp Lincoln sedan to a new Fiat convertible and a concept that wasn’t quite a complete car. Get the Motor Trend L.A. show highlights here.
The 2016 Chevrolet Camaro is far more than just one of the best-looking cars available for less than $35,000 today—it’s also one of the best-driving cars around. Find out more about why the Chevrolet Camaro is the 2016 Motor Trend Car of the Year here.
With some help from the Mazda MX-5 Miata, the Fiat 124 Spider nameplate is back. Readers took notice of this L.A. show debut big time—see auto show photos of the new drop-top here.
Is it possible to have too much of this great automotive rivalry? Even though this comparison was published in November, it easily sped past all but one article to become the second-most-read article on MotorTrend.com in 2015.
