The driving range one can get with modern, fuel-efficient vehicles is remarkable. The problem remains with human anatomy. Bladder capacity has not kept up with the pace of technology. Indeed, while road-tripping to test the real-world range of the 2020 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid, I could not quite...
In many ways, I’m not the right person to be testing the 2020 Lexus GX460. I can count the number of off-road excursions I’ve had on two hands, I don’t live particularly near any good trails, and although I’ve enjoyed off-roading in other peoples’ toys, I have no intentions of...
The Turbo badge has evolved to mean something different over the decades. It all started with the original 911 Turbo, the whale-tailed widowmaker. Porsche’s iconic sports car has mellowed since those early days, with the 911 Turbo becoming the hyper-quick and hyper-powered grand touring...
Admit it: you kind of forgot about the Chrysler 300. It’s understandable. The Charger and Challenger get the lion’s share of the LX platform attention these days, thanks to increasingly demonic engines. Meanwhile the 300 has soldiered on, a veritable dinosaur of the automotive world....
BMW has now taken the wraps off the 4 Series coupe. With the same bones as the new 3 Series and that … challenging front grille, the second-gen 4 could be a star from the driver’s seat, but it will face some stiff competition from its fellow coupe countrymen. The Mercedes-Benz C-Class...
It might be a fun, reasonably-priced electric car, but everyone I know commented on the same thing when they saw the 2020 Chevrolet Bolt: its bright Oasis Blue paint.
In a see of silver crossovers it certainly stands out, but the Bolt’s appeal is more than skin deep. This otherwise...
Acura has refreshed the TLX sedan for 2021, with a renewed focus on dynamics and a sharp new look to match. It will face off against the toughest luxury class out there: the compact sport sedan segment. There’s no shortage of competitors here. The Audi A4 is most similar on paper,...
The Toyota Camry and Honda Accord have been eternal rivals in the mid-size sedan market. And choosing between them has been the debate of many a dinner table. Where the Camry is known for its stately demeanor and a pliant ride, the Accord strikes the balance between a comfortable ride and...
The Cadillac XT6 fills a large gap in the brand’s lineup. The American luxury marque was missing a modern, mid-size three-row crossover. It introduced the XT6 for the 2020 model year, which wades into a crowded and competitive market. Instead of targeting the dynamism of the German...
Despite what some might call challenging looks, the original Toyota Venza was a popular model. Even four years after its discontinuation, Toyota sold nine last year. Come 2020, just a few days ago, guess who made a comeback along with the new Sienna? The all-new 2021 Toyota Venza. Well, when we...
Nobody can accuse Honda of being subtle in styling its halo hot hatch.
Indeed, since the Type R badge returned to North American roads three years ago, there have been calls from enthusiasts to tone down the in-your-face body enhancements to Honda’s five-door commuter. A hood scoop,...
Consider the evolution of the common sedan. With the market so thoroughly embracing crossovers, the once-loved sedan segment is much smaller now. Instead of taking the defeat lying down, many models have adopted more dramatic looks and more premium interiors. What was once the default is now a...
Subaru has always been the quirky and offbeat car manufacturer even among its Japanese compatriots. Remember the ridiculous but utterly desirable Baja pickup? In recent years, the company has taken a more conventional–some would argue boring–approach towards making cars. Yet Subaru remains...
I don’t know why, but I rarely think about the Nissan Armada. As big, three-row SUVs go, it seems to be lost from general consciousness versus the ubiquitous domestic offerings used so frequently for ride-sharing apps. For the right driver, however, the 2020 Nissan Armada holds a great deal of...
I haven’t watched a single episode of Tiger King. That isn’t a badge of honor, simply a statement. We’ve all been there at some point, outside looking in at a pop culture phenomenon. The Genesis G70 was the automotive equivalent for me. Time after time I’d hear about how...
