2023 Toyota Prius Limited: Review
/
/
comments
It’s automotive journalist tradition to dunk on the Toyota Prius. And in full disclosure, I’ll admit I’ve never really driven one that I was all that impressed with. While the driving experience was…fine, it was just “an car”, it was never a very good looking car. *Dramatic stinger noise* Until now! This new Prius, the…

2023 Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy AWD: Review
/
/
comments
As an automotive journalist-type person I probably get asked about which three-row SUV is best more than any other segment. Two options continuously end up in my top five, the Kia Telluride and the Hyundai Palisade. As you can see from the links, I have driven both of them previously, but for the 2023 model…

2023 VW Golf R 20th Anniversary Edition: Review
/
/
comments
The R-badged version of the Volkswagen Golf is turning 20 years old this year, which means they launched the Mk4 R32 way back in 2003! It was always a bit of an odd duck in the VW lineup sitting above the GTI and featuring a bigger engine and AWD. For the 2012 model year the…

2023 Honda HR-V EX-L AWD: Review
/
/
comments
Like humans, vehicles also tend to “grow up” over their lifespan, getting larger and heavier, but usually also more rich with features. The Honda HR-V is a great example, when it arrived on our shores in 2016 it was based on the diminutive subcompact Honda Fit. Now, after eight Fit-based model years, it’s back. However,…

2023 Lexus RZ450e Luxury: EV Review
/
/
comments
The electric future is here, and…it’s a mixed bag if I’m honest. I’ve driven all kinds of EVs, more than I can even self-promotingly link here, and unfortunately one of my least favorite was the Toyota B-zed-Four-X-ray. The bZ4X has a terrible name that is hard to remember, and I found the drive uninspiring, the…

2023 Genesis Electrified GV70 AWD Prestige: Review
/
/
comments
In case you hadn’t heard, Hyundai Motor Company announced last month that their luxury Genesis brand will go all-electric by the year 2030. To say that is ambitious is an understatement, but they are well on their way. My last two Genesis loaners, the last G80 and the GV60, were both EVs. This week we’re…

2023 Lexus RX 350h Luxury AWD: Review
/
/
comments
As you all know, I get a lot of crossovers to review. Not a shock considering the popularity, take a look at any parking lot you’re in and I guarantee it’ll be the prevailing body style. Unless you’re in Texas which will be mostly pickup trucks. Lexus doesn’t sell a pickup, but they sell quite…

I’ve been a fan of the Gran Turismo series from the very beginning. I wore out my original GT disc on the PlayStation and continued the series as the PS platform evolved over the years. Like I a lot of enthusiasts, it’s where I learned about all those cool obscure cars like the Pikes Peak…

comments
Even as the very first next-gen Acura Integra prototype was was revealed everyone in the enthusiast community began wondering what was next. As the current Integra is based on the very capable Civic Si, we were all pretty certain that the next iteration would be more closely related to the new Civic Type R. Well,…

2023 Audi RS 6 Avant: The Forever Car?
/
/
comments
I’m obsessed with the idea of the “forever car”. What is that, great question. A rich and powerful person, a genie, or a government official, appears and says that you can have one car, for free, but you have to keep it forever. All of the fuel, maintenance, insurance, all that stuff is on you.…
