Showcasing the Best in the Mobile Enhancement Industry
Too often, Buick is overlooked by the younger generation. But the Envista Avenir shouldn’t be. It comes with features typically packed into luxury vehicles at twice the price. Moreover, it comes in, dare I say, a seductive package that mimics a Lamborghini Urus. OK, so your friends aren’t going to believe you got a Lambo. But they will be impressed when they see and step inside Read more
Coming out of some heavy-hitting offroad vehicles such as the Ford Ranger Raptor and Bronco with Sasquatch Package gives you an idea of how far offroad prowess has come directly from the manufacturer. Subaru wants in on the game with its popular Crosstrek and the new Wilderness package. Not only does it look the part with a unique styling treatment inside and out, but the Read more
When people think Ranger, they usually envision a small two-door utilitarian pickup truck used by auto parts stores to deliver goods to mechanics around town. The latest generation Ranger has matured and takes its cues from the larger F-150. So, when the latest Ranger Raptor with the SuperCrew cab arrived, I was surprised by its relative size compared to the F-150. The Ranger Read more
Man, the Ford Bronco is a massive hit. Even models that are three years old are still retaining their value. No one wants to purchase something that was potentially abused in an off-road environment. That is why I was excited to try the Ford Bronco Big Bend: an entry-level Bronco that features a four-cylinder engine. Armed with the off-road Sasquatch package, it has that Read more
The Ford Maverick has been a hit as a reasonably priced vehicle that can carry five people comfortably, act as a pickup truck, and even tow! It gets good fuel economy and has a starting MSRP of only $23,400. But good luck landing one at that price, as it has proven very popular. If you are going to offer a package that makes sense to a lot of people, it is going to sell well! Read more
Toyota said it best to the media at the introduction of the 2024 Land Cruiser: "Legends never die. Toyota’s off-road icon and longest-running nameplate is making a triumphant comeback to North America for the 2024 model year, returning to its rugged origin. Since its introduction in the U.S. market in 1958, the Land Cruiser evolved over the years from the legendary two-door Read more
My Volvo C40 Recharge showed up in a striking white color they call Cloud Blue (it features way more white than blue), and I admired how clean it looked. It also flaunts an environmentally clean Polestar-engineered powertrain. The interior has a large LCD instrument cluster with a portrait-mounted infotainment screen, but with just enough buttons and dials to make everything Read more
I get to review a lot of two-row SUVs. For most singles and small families, this formula answers the question of “What do I get for a practical vehicle I can use in most situations?” If you have three or more kids, the three-row SUV is warranted. However, it comes with a substantial price hike for the privilege. Manufacturers know that you desire a third row, but you will not Read more
One of the problems with fully electric vehicles is range anxiety. But in the case of the Hyundai Ionic 6, the range brings you into its gasoline-counterpart territory, making it an option for those who don’t have access to a charger where they live. After topping off, my Ionic 6 tester consistently had over 300 miles on the display. The EPA rates it at 361 miles, but Read more
