2025 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport SEL Premium R-Line review by Ben Lewis
If you’re looking for an SUV, you’re spoiled for choice. Maybe too spoiled! From compact to full-size, 5-passenger to 8, gas, hybrid, EV, you name it, someone’s got it. VW’s smart, too –while many will want the larger 3-row Atlas SUV, some like the size and premium features, but only need room for 5. Voila! Enter the Atlas Cross Sport – a sportier, 2-row model that still offers the premium […]
Road Test Review – 2025 Hyundai Palisade XRT – Holding The Fort
When Hyundai unveiled its XRT lineup of vehicles, the brand promised that the XRT badge would signal a more aggressive personality with some light pinches of trail-ready upgrades to make these vehicles better soft roaders. While the revamped Tucson, Ioniq 5, and Santa Cruz XRTs all reflect this practice in spades, the Palisade has always felt the odd man out. Does the 2025 XRT version still have […]

2025 Cadillac Optiq Injects Compact Fun Into the EV Segment
Cadillac’s “IQ” lineup of EV vehicles is attempting to inject more vigor and buyers into the EV segment. While the 2025 Escalade IQ is attempting to win over ultra-wealthy buyers, Cadillac knows that it also has to appeal to other buying segments and some of the lower budgets that often come with them. This is the case with the 2025 Optiq which will be the new gateway model for […]
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 […]
