    I love the Ford Lightning… it’s excellent, quick, comfortable, and behaves like the pickup truck that it is. Sure, it’s pretty damn pricey – but so are all trucks these days, and this one rips. Now I just need one with a slight lift, all-terrain tires, and a GoFastCamper in the back, and I’d be…

    Genesis (and Hyundai-Kia generally) are absolutely killing it lately, I drove the G70, G80, and G90 over the past year. And, oddly enough I just realized I did those reviews in numerical order, but that’s not the point. They were all fantastic sedans with a great mix of sport and luxury. It’s clear that Genesis…

    The GMC Hummer EV is a physics-defying electric monster machine. It weighs over 9,000 pounds yet can run from 0-60 mph in under 3.5 seconds. It’s big, heavy, stupid… and an absolute blast to drive. Disclaimer: GMC tossed us the keys to the Hummer EV and included a full charge on the battery pack.

    I’ll admit, I get a little tired of crossovers. Looking through my 2022 press loan review list, just over 1/3 were crossovers. It’s not that they are boring, it’s that they are all so good that it is becoming harder and harder to differentiate them. And no, I don’t mean that they all look alike.…

    Automobile sizes are incredibly relative from country to country, or at least from continent to continent. When I was in Germany recently, around the holidays, I was reminded of just how compact some “family cars” are. What we consider small works for a family of four, or even five, overseas. The Mazda CX-30 was built…

    Life is unpredictable, a wise man once said that it’s like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re going to get, or when you’re going to get it. My last road-trip review of the 4Runner TRD Pro alluded to some significant life changes on the horizon for me. That trip was important for…

    It’s rare that a new car excites me these days, but the GR Corolla has done that in a big way. This feels like a rally-ready homologation special, and I love it. It helps that I’m driving the Morizo Edition too, which gets more aggressive gearing, drops some weight, and feels ready for anything.

    2022 flew by. Time constraints didn’t allow for full written reviews of every press car I drove this year (though we did cover them on The Off the Road Again Podcast). Yet the cars are still worth mentioning, so this post covers these vehicles. The cars herein are BMW M4, X5, X3M Competition, and 840i;…

    The 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV is the best-selling PHEV SUV on the planet… and oddly enough, there is some notion of Evo-heritage baked in there. That sounds crazy, I know. But after driving this thing on a race track and getting it to go tail-out through corners, my assumed notions have shifted.
