Showcasing the Best in the Mobile Enhancement Industry
When automotive enthusiasts think ST, they think of the two sport compact products that are legendary in the enthusiast world: the Ford Focus ST and the Fiesta ST. Both are wonderful compact sporting machines that help drivers bring out their inner Ken Block and rally car inclinations. With their built-in electronic driving aids, they can even help make mediocre drifters look Read more
When the Ford Escape was first introduced about 20 years ago, it was a boxy little SUV, but it did perform admirably. It was Ford’s first foray into the now wildly popular CUV (some say the C stands for compact, some say for cute) segment. Some might even remember that it was cut from the same cloth as the Mazda Tribute. It was the vehicle that helped Ford and Mazda sell Read more
The Volvo XC60 T8 E-AWD Polestar is a midsize SUV rocket ship. However, it follows the traditional Volvo formula of safety, luxury and fuel economy. Because it does so many things so well (heck, it even looks good), the only deterrent for potential customers is the lofty price tag nearing $75,000. However, if you want the combo of baddest, safest and most economical SUV, your Read more
Truth be told, I love the Mazda Miata. I never thought I would own one, but too many other automotive journalists talked me into the platform as the perfect reasonably priced, open-air sports car. I am glad I listened to them years back and picked up a first-generation vehicle. It proved both super reliable and super fun. It needed a bit more power, but as anyone involved in Read more
The Lexus NX 300 is a proven reliable Lexus SUV. As the price has swelled for the wildly popular RX series (which now offers three rows of seating), the NX is about the size of the original RX, which could easily swallow a family of four and all their belongings. If you don’t need the room, the NX could be just the ticket and keep the bill under $40K with all of the prestige Read more
Before the SUV became the most popular vehicle in America, one vehicle was synonymous with taking around the kids, pets and stuff: the station wagon. It’s too bad station wagons fell out of fashion around the same time Chrysler introduced the first minivan. Now the minivan gets the bad rap from consumers who want to drive SUVs. But the dearth of station wagons has made them Read more
No doubt about it, the Acura NSX has a rich tradition and remains the halo car of the fleet. The rest of Acura’s sedan offerings are great cars, but sometimes they lack a certain je ne sais quoi compared with their more mundane Honda counterparts. Enter the TLX PMC Edition. Sometimes you just want something special from the dealership. You can then do some minor personalization Read more
Cadillac has tried in the past to come up with entry-level sized and priced vehicles to win over the public at the dealership. Unfortunately, most have not proved successful. But for the XT4, Cadillac assembled the most youthful design team in GM’s history. Rather than ask the team to come up with a traditional small car, they instead asked the team to come up with a vehicle Read more
Sometimes you have to go big or go home. The latest iteration of Ford’s Expedition proves you can have a vehicle that can swallow a family and all of its luggage and still have the ability to go off-road. Moreover, the Expedition does it in a comfortable manner. Even the fuel economy was not bad, considering the size of this beast. I averaged about 20 mpg with mainly highway Read more
