2022 Toyota Camry Hybrid. When Blending In is Good.

When Toyota first came out with the Toyota Prius, the powertrain was so far from the mainstream it was destined to be in its own vehicle. But Toyota has perfected the hybrid powertrain and has made it commonplace. In addition to the Prius, I’ve tried it in the Sienna minivan and the RAV4 SUV. The 2022 Toyota Camry Hybrid brings the fuel-sipping savings of the Prius to a Read more

The Scourge of Loose Car Audio Wire Connections

In late September, I got a call from a friend asking if I had any connections to purchase some new fuse holders for his car. The car is a fourth-generation Toyota Supra with a single-turbo kit and an AEM stand-alone engine management system. Unfortunately, it seems the fuse holders that fed the dual Walbro 255 lph fuel pumps had failed, leaving my friend stranded on the side of Read more

2021 Toyota Highlander Hybrid Platinum. Getting High – Not On Fumes

It keeps going up. We knew gasoline couldn’t stay at a low price point forever, and now my family friends with three-row SUVs are asking, “Is there anything that has a third row that is also good on gas? I am sick of $60 fill-ups.” Well, if your Acadia, Explorer or Durango has you down, Toyota might just have your answer in the new Highlander Hybrid. I first had experience Read more

2021 Toyota Venza: Hybrid All The Way Around

No doubt about it, the SUV craze is here to stay. When you have companies like Ford ditching all car-based vehicles except the Mustang, you know Americans like sitting up higher compared to a car. The Toyota Camry is still the best-selling car-based vehicle in the United States. But Toyota’s wildly popular RAV4 now even eclipses the sale of the Camry. So, Toyota wanted to Read more

2021 Lexus IS 350 F Sport: The Sporty Lexus Sedan

The 2021 Lexus IS 350 F Sport is the tight little Lexus sedan. It might not have the cache of the 3-Series BMW, but when you consider what you get for the money, the Lexus should get a look, especially if you’re looking to own and not lease. The proven reliability of the brand, coupled with a Toyota V-6 engine, typically leads to vehicles that can go for over 300,000 miles. IS Read more

We all know the CUVs are here to stay. When thinking of the class, a lot of buyers gravitate to the Honda CR-V or Toyota RAV-4. But Mazda also wants to make a case for itself with a well-engineered CUV that should remain reliable but with a dose of sportiness injected into it. Enter the CX-5 Signature edition. The CX-5 starts at $26K and goes all the way to $37K all-in … a Read more

2020 Toyota C-HR. The New Corolla?

Around the world, the Corolla has been one of Toyota’s best-selling vehicles, with nearly 50 million sold since its inception.
