2025 GR Toyota Corolla Premium Plus review by Ben Lewis
We live in interesting times. Two years ago when we tested the 2023 GR Corolla, it seemed like the internal combustion engine was on the way out, and for performance, you’d be looking at EVs like the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N. Not so fast! Both the market and administration have changed, and it seems like our future may not be all electric. Or at least not so soon. So, vehicles like the GR Corolla will […]
Review: The 2025 Ford Explorer ST-Line Is More Style Than Sport
Auto-journalist circles seem to be buzzing about the Ford Explorer ST. “It’s like a sports sedan,” they say. “Rear drive and 400 horsepower, what’s not to love?” “What’s not to love?” indeed. It does sound like it could be a good time, so I quickly contacted Ford to get one of my own. But when my loaner arrived, I was a bit confused. The first thing I noticed was the word “Line” sitting […]
Road Test Review – 2025 Subaru Legacy Touring XT – Goodbye Old Friend
The Subaru Legacy is preparing to sing its final swan song as the venerable four-door prepares to exit the market in 2025. The Legacy is the latest casualty in a growing pool of axed sedan models as poor sales and a surge in SUV sales (in the Legacy’s case the Outback wagon was cannibalizing its sales) force automakers to rethink their sales strategies and put more of their resources into […]
Road Test Review – 2025 Cadillac Escalade IQ – Flagship Luxury Enters The EV Realm
Cadillac Escalade IQ attempts to raise the bar on EV luxury and performance while also giving Cadillac a second halo model in its EV lineup. […]
2025 Lexus IS 500 F SPORT review by Ben Lewis
We love when a major manufacturer bucks a trend – it shows there’s more to things than just selling whatever is the current hotness. Take for example the Lexus IS 500. Where most manufacturers are running away from naturally aspirated V8s and going for turbo V6 or even turbo 4-cylinders, Lexus says no, we like the personality you can only get from the V8. So, does that make Lexus a great hold […]
Road Test Review – 2025 Volkswagen Taos SEL – Updated and Eager To Please
Volkswagen’s Taos CUV had a tall order on its plate when it was asked to replace the iconic Golf in the U.S. a few years ago. The Taos was meant to appeal to urban dwellers and give VW an entry that would be a true gateway model while also allowing the Tiguan to move upmarket as well. The Taos has proven to be somewhat successful in that regard but the CUV also suffered from styling that […]
2025 Toyota Crown Signia Limited review by Ben Lewis
If we said you can get a Lexus at Toyota prices, would you be interested? OK, there’s some status value with that shapely L on the hood, and those dealerships sure are pretty. But how much are you paying for that? With the all-new 2025 Toyota Crown Signia you get a real luxury experience at a surprisingly great MSRP. Interested? Let’s take a look. Handsome Wagon First impressions are very […]
Review: The 2025 Acura ZDX Type S. More power. More tech. And more of the same.
It seems like only yesterday I reviewed the Acura ZDX A-Spec. Short version: it’s a GM EV in Acura clothing, and since it doesn’t have to align with GM’s larger software-defined vehicle strategy, it provides a superior user experience. Namely: the Acura gets an on/off button and Apple CarPlay/Android Auto compatibility. Now I’m in the sportiest version of this EV: the Acura ZDX Type S. It’s […]
2025 Audi Q4 55 e-tron quattro review by Ben Lewis
It’s fun to look back on what we thought about EVs when they first got popular. One of the biggest concerns was they’d all be the same. You know, kinda boring, appliances. It didn’t seem like electric motors had much in the way of personality. Well, that proved to be untrue, in fact one of the things we really love is how different they are. Compare a Hyundai Ionic 5 N, to a BMW i4. Both great […]
Road Test Review – 2025 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid Limited – Comfort & Efficency
The Hyundai Sonata is bringing a fresh perspective and a new attitude to the family sedan segment. It’s no secret that the segment as a whole has been withering on the vine with a growing pool of nameplates all being sacrificed to make room for CUV and SUV entries. The 2024 Sonata is one of the few entries left that’s continuing to bring the fight to rivals with a major redesign […]
Review: The Chevrolet Equinox RS AWD Is A Solid, Traditional Crossover
With all the press surrounding Chevrolet’s newest, budget-friendly(-ish) Equinox EV, it’s easy to forget about the other Equinox. No, not the Vernal or Autumnal ones—the one that comes with a gas-fueled powertrain. The one you see here: the Chevrolet Equinox RS AWD. Outside of the name, there are few similarities between this internal combustion Chevy Equinox RS AWD and the Equinox EV. And I have […]
2024 Subaru BRZ tS review by Ben Lewis
You can’t argue with the popularity of SUVs and crossovers. But we’d be happy to argue that there are still some great cars for enthusiasts, out there too. Sure, maybe less than before, but what’s around are pretty good – even for those on a budget. We recently tested the 2024 Mazda Miata, and it still has all the lightweight convertible goodness you could want. And then there’s the GR86/BRZ […]
