2024 Genesis G90 AWD 3.5T E-Supercharger Review – This is a luxury sedan for the driven.

It’s easy to say that words have meanings, but that ignores the reality that words are in an ever-changing state of flux. Those of you old enough to remember the sitcoms of the 1980s are familiar with the trope of the out-of-touch old-timer pondering if a kid’s use of the word “bad” actually meant “good,” or if said kid meant things are bad-bad. And let’s not get into a debate as to whether or […]

Road Test Review – 2024 Lexus LC 500 Convertible Bespoke Series – Bespoke Never Looked S…

The Lexus LC continues to be one of the most underrated GTs on the market today. While the V8-powered Lexus often blends into the background when compared with rivals from BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and even higher-grade models like the Maserati GranCabrio and its coupe counterpart the GranTurismo. It has inner charms that beg to be explored if you’re willing to get to know it better. That […]

Road Test Review – 2024 Lexus GX 550 Overtrail – The Billy Goat Is Back

Lexus is typically known for being a top-selling luxury brand with the brand making great strides since it originally appeared in the U.S. in 1989. When it’s not coddling passengers in luxury with their products, the brand is also known for occasionally exploring new segments and trends. That included the off-road segment with the original GX starting life as a slightly less capable version […]

2025 Acura MDX Type S Advance review by Ben Lewis

We recently tested the Acura TLX Type S, and were impressed how Acura continuously improves their models – even when they’re already pretty darn good. So, when we heard that the 2025 3-row MDX SUV was going to get some meaningful improvements, we jumped at the chance to drive one of our favorite luxury SUVs. After all, it’s not only Acura’s best-selling vehicle, but also the best-selling 3-row […]

Road Test Review – 2024 Mazda CX-30 Carbon Turbo – Still The Fun CUV

The small CUV segment is swelling with nameplates as multiple automakers attempt to inject their own form of identity and purpose into a segment commonly defined by practicality and putting the actual art of driving very low on the priority list. While this certainly won’t bother the large bulk of family buyers that crave passenger space, it might leave some enthusiasts who were forced to […]

2024 Audi Q8 Sportback S line e-tron quattro review by Ben Lewis

Ready to make new friends and fans of EVs! It seems like there are two camps in EV. One likes it completely different from gas-powered vehicles, aimed at those who like to step up to the newest latest tech. They want their Jetson mobile, and they want it now. We’d put vehicles like the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and 6, Tesla and such in that camp. But if you’re really going to get more traditional buyers […]

2024 Toyota RAV4 Limited AWD – Is The RAV4 Still A Player In The SUV Segment?

The Toyota RAV4 is celebrating its 30th birthday this year and while the RAV4 has used the bulk of those three decades focusing on providing the fundamentals with cargo capacity, passenger comfort, and fuel economy all being top priorities. The RAV4 is continuing to soldier on with minor updates for the 2024 model year but is this light approach to updates causing the established veteran to lose […]

Road Test Review – 2024 Toyota Corolla Hybrid XLE – The Budget Fuel Sipper

The Toyota Corolla may be relishing in its recent role as a performance superstar when it comes to the GR Corolla, but long before Toyota chose to give the Corolla neck-snapping acceleration and corner-carving abilities it was better known for being the modern poster child for sensible commuting with fuel economy and value being the key pillars of its success. These pillars are attempting to […]

2025 Toyota Camry XSE Review by Ben Lewis

We don’t know what’s in the water cooler at Toyota, but we like it! Lately, Toyota has been on a roll with some exciting stylish vehicles – and some of them in the most surprising places. Take the all-new Prius, it’s gorgeous! Yes, a prius. And the new Land Cruiser; going back to a classic squared-off look that’s retro yet amazing. So, we can’t say we’re stunned that the carmaker did a major […]

Road Test Followup – 2024 Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy – Luxury Thy Name Is Hyundai

It’s harder than it looks offering buyers an SUV that’s the perfect blend of comfort, utility, and value but the 2024 Hyundai Palisade is one of the few that comes the closest to putting the three together in a composed yet balanced package. The Palisade got a significant revamp that saw the SUV get more polish and poise to match its unique character. But does this extend to the […]

2025 Subaru Legacy Touring XT review by Ben Lewis

Think of it as a farewell tour. While the Legacy has been with us since 1989 and is the longest running nameplate or the brand, the carmaker has announced that the 2025 model will be the last for the sedan. So, is it going out with a bang, or just fading off into the distance? Handsome and Reserved While the running gear of the Legacy sedan is almost identical to the Outback Wagon, where the […]

2024 Mazda MX-5 Miata Grand Touring road test by Ben Lewis

The lovable 2-seat sports car is better than ever! Trends come and go, and we’ve seen a bunch of them, compact SUVs, 3-row SUVs, EVs, full-size trucks, compact trucks, etc.…And we don’t mind the spice that comes with new and exciting directions. But we also like things that stand the test of time, especially things that bring us joy. And since 1990, the Mazda Miata has been the small, affordable […]
