Showcasing the Best in the Mobile Enhancement Industry
With all the SUVs I have been reviewing, it was nice to get into a sedan. You forget how good bargain sedans have become. The last Kia sedan I reviewed was the Forte, which was good but nothing extraordinary. However, the new Kia K4 GT-Line Turbo has everything going for it. Racy looks. Clean bodylines. Cool colors. A reasonably luxurious interior. Quick and nimble handling. Read more
In the white-hot three-row SUV segment, I have always liked the Chevrolet Traverse. It is among the largest of the car-based SUVs in the three-row category before you move into the mastodon-sized, truck-based class of the Chevy Tahoe, Ford Expedition, Nissan Armada and Toyota Sequoia. This means plenty of interior room without the hassles of parking a substantially larger Read more
Genesis is the upscale Hyundai brand that hit our shores in 2017. It has been a great success, and the luxury offered by the brand is impressive for the price. But Hyundai has also stepped up its game, so consumers have a tough choice to make—a fully loaded Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy or a Genesis GV80? You can’t go wrong with either choice. Both feature powerful powertrains Read more
If one vehicle has proven itself to be virtually bulletproof, it is the Toyota Tacoma. The new Tacoma hasn’t had the opportunity to prove itself on the long haul yet, but Toyota’s engineers were put to the test to keep the momentum going and not ruin a good thing. Moreover, the engineers improved everything the Tacoma is about, including a new hybrid powertrain. It may be Read more
Alfa Romeo launched the Stelvio SUV back in 2016. Almost ten years later, we took a look at the updated version for 2025.

There is something to be said about a vehicle platform Read more
The Tesla Cybertruck hit the streets, and in the beginning, prices were going for double MSRP. But after a few months, prices have come back to earth. Wait a little longer, and it will probably be half of MSRP for a used example. Besides the cliff-face depreciation, it has become the running joke of influencers commenting on its polarizing looks. Beauty is in the eye of the Read more
Mazda is known as the car company for great handling and vehicle dynamics at a reasonable price point. They are also recognized for reliability. The new Mazda CX-90 is designed to accommodate America’s growing families with its third row. This segment is competitive, but Mazda offers premium materials that set it apart from other vehicles in its class. The CX-90 is built upon Read more
When Acura asked me to try the upwardly mobile sibling to the Honda Prologue, I jumped at the opportunity. After all, Acura has always meant sporty and luxurious. Although there are some sporty Honda vehicles like the Civic Si, Acura has geared more of its fleet toward performance and luxury, especially when you consider vehicles such as the Integra and NSX. It also has the Read more
Honda is no stranger to delivering vehicles with great fuel economy. For example, the mild hybrid Honda Insight, with its Integrated Motor Assist, delivered 53 MPG combined. But now we have vehicles that do not burn gasoline at all. Honda wants to capture some of the electrification market and deliver a product worthy of its namesake. So here we have the first fully electric Read more
