And full-size SUVs require a second mortgage on your house! Luckily, the entry-level CUVs are coming loaded with the latest in vehicle technology, just like their larger counterparts. The CX-30 is the latest from Mazda. Read more

2022 Subaru Outback Wilderness. The Bronco of Outbacks!

Maybe it isn’t fair to compare a Subaru Outback to the new Ford Bronco. No doubt about it, the new Bronco is red-hot right now, and for hardcore off-roading, it’s the perfect vehicle. Unfortunately, most Broncos will be relegated to hopping curbs at the mall parking lot. But let’s say you’re an off-roader who wants a vehicle to drive every day with reasonable fuel economy and Read more

2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz. Mini-Truckin’ is Back!

Americans love their trucks. The Ford F-150 is the best-selling vehicle in America. Ford originally held back on its smaller Ranger, thinking that it might cannibalize sales from the leader. But America’s appetite for a vehicle with a bed is strong, leading Ford to recently introduce the Maverick, in addition to the mid-size Ranger, to get into the small-truck segment. We’ve Read more

2022 Lexus LS 500. Luxury for the Long Haul.

As we’ve said before, car shopping today is a challenge because of the lack of inventory. The local Volvo dealership I pass daily has more used vehicles of makes other than Volvo out front. Although large luxury vehicles aren’t as popular as they once were because of the proliferation of SUVs, there will always be customers who yearn for a large, comfortable car. Audi, BMW, Read more

2022 Nissan Versa SR. Versa-tility.

It’s a tricky time to be shopping the in the used car market. Prices are so high, it’s as if depreciation doesn’t exist. The trend will eventually correct itself, but now we have some reasonably savvy used car shoppers saying to themselves, “What if I just buy an inexpensive new car? That way I have a strong warranty and no worries for years.” For those who’ve ever been Read more

2021 Polestar 2. Elec-Trick Sedan

When I looked at the list of vehicles I might be able to test out and it said PS2, I chuckled because I didn’t think I could drive an old PlayStation gaming console (aside from GranTurismo). Then it said Polestar and I did a double take. Polestar had traditionally been the high-end Volvo tuning arm that made their vehicles handle better and go faster. Now the Volvo company Read more

Who’s the Typical Client for Your Local Car Stereo Shop?

In the ’80s and ’90s, the target demographic at a car stereo shop was men ages 18 to 24. Guys would work to upgrade their cars with subwoofers, pull-out CD players and lots of speakers in hopes of having the loudest audio systems in their group of friends. Not coincidentally, during that time magazines ran advertisements for products with outrageous cosmetics, promoted by Read more
