2023 Honda Pilot TrailSport AWD: I think I get it!
/
/
comments
When I posted about the delivery of Honda’s new Pilot TrailSport on my Twitter account, the reactions were mixed. Some who are into serious off-roaders thought it looked like it was “trying too hard”. My first impression was that it was a nice beefy package with actual all-terrain tires that might be worth a look.…

2023 Lexus ES 300h F Sport Handling: Aging Gracefully
/

comments
The Lexus ES was, at least for a significant period, a bit of a tarted up Toyota Camry. However, while it is true that the first five generations were basically built off of the Camry platform, the sixth generation ES (2013-2018) was really closer to the Avalon XX40 and the Lexus RX than the Camry.…

Subtitle: Oops I did it again. OK, I’ll admit to swapping vehicles fairly often, ok a bit more than often. Regular readers will notice that the title of this article is similar to a 4 January piece where I walked through the rational of getting rid of my 2022 Mustang Mach-E after boldly calling it…

Howdy hoons, it’s me Will, and I’m back with more new car reviews. I’ve been on a crossover bender, there was Audi Q4 Sportback e-tron, the Toyota Venza, and now they sent me this VW ID.4 AWD Pro S. This is my second go in the all-electric ID.4, I spent a week with a 2021…

This car review gig can be a challenge at times, particularly coming up with new and (hopefully interesting) things to say about different cars each week. Part of the reason is that all new cars these days are inherently good. Whether you are measuring performance, economy, comfort, or a whole host of other parameters, modern…

We are at the dawn of the “electrify all the things” era in the automotive industry, and Audi is off to a great start. As of the 2023 model year, in addition to the standalone e-tron SUV (in regular and sportback versions) and the e-tron GT sports sedan, Audi offers the Q4 e-tron, which also…

2023 Genesis Electrified G80 AWD: Classy AF

Just about every automaker is hard at work creating purpose-built EVs, or adapting electric versions of existing platforms. Unsurprisingly, the Hyundai, Kia, and Genesis umbrella of vehicles is no different with lots of all-electric models available now and more on the way. I just drove the Genesis GV60 electric and it was quite good. I…

Hey, do you guys like hatchbacks? Me too, which is good because the front page here at Hooniverse now has two red, relatively hot four-door hatchbacks. Fresh off of the 2023 Mazda Mazda3 AWD Premium Plus review this Golf GTI Autobahn got delivered for a week of driving fun. It’s about $4,000 more than the…

2023 Mazda Mazda3 AWD Premium Plus

comments
I once penned an article early in my automotive journalistic career questioning “Why is good design so damn expensive“. I even used a red Mazda RX-7 as the header, a shining example of why a relatively inexpensive car can look amazing. Every time I see a fourth generation Mazda3 I immediately have the same visceral…

I was going to start this review of the latest Lexus IS 350 by pining about my lust for the original IS 300, but then I remembered something. I already wrote about that back in the Autotrader dot com slash Oversteer days. In fact, that article was inspired by a then recent purchase of a…
