Showcasing the Best in the Mobile Enhancement Industry
I get to test my share of three-row SUVs. There has been a lot of praise written about the Escalade IQ, the all-electric Escalade that is slightly larger than its gasoline counterpart and even bigger on technology and luxury. The new Vistiq also has three rows but in a more manageable size. Think Lincoln Aviator versus Lincoln Navigator, or Cadillac XT6 versus the Read more
When I think of three-row SUVs, typically BMW does not pop into my mind. Then I realize I forgot about the X7, which BMW does not want to hear because they want consumers to immediately recognize it as an option for people hauling. My mind tends to wander to the domestic luxury haulers like the Escalade, Grand Wagoneer and Navigator. But some people want luxury with the ability Read more
Volvo has been very successful with its large, safe and utilitarian XC90 SUV. The company did not deviate from its core competency and create something wild for the similar electric-only EX90 SUV. Instead, the electric EX90 is a very competent and comfortable offering – especially for those who will run the vehicle around town shuttling kids around. The luxury of not having to Read more
The Volvo XC60 may not be on the tip of an SUV-shopper’s tongue. However, with its 2022 model year updates, it jumps to the front of the line for the tech lover. Volvo has sold over 1 million XC60s globally – something I wouldn’t have guessed – and the XC60 remains its most popular model.

Not coincidentally, during that time magazines ran advertisements for products with outrageous cosmetics, promoted by 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
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
Hybrid and all-electric vehicles are a great platform for stereo system upgrade. While your local specialist mobile enhancement retailer can’t tap into the main battery pack, the electrical system on these cars or trucks is more than adequate to power an amplifier to drive new speakers or a subwoofer. There are several options for upgrades and accessories that can transform Read more
