Genesis GV70 ELECTRIFIED adventures in single digit temps
/
/
comments
Genesis, as well as its corporate siblings, Hyundai and Kia, have been on the roll for a few years. Each new or updated model is significantly better than the previous one. They all look great and offer a variety of powertrains. Genesis, especially, has put design first, and their cars look fantastic. Interiors are great…

2023 Hyundai IONIQ 6 Limited AWD: Review
/
/
comments
You have to hand it to Hyundai, their designers (and whoever approves their work) are some of the least risk-adverse in the industry. I’d love to have sat in on the first pitch for the new IONIQ 6, I imagine it was something like “We’re going for Citroën DS meets Porsche 911” and the bosses…

The 2024 Ford Mustang GT is an Evolution not a Revolution
/
/
comments
The 2024 Ford Mustang GT is a good evolution of the Mustang. But the S650 is not a game changer. It feels like an update to the 550, and that’s fine. Though it is a bit of a shame just how expensive the Mustang is now. [Disclaimer: Ford tossed us the keys to the Mustang…

2023 Audi RS Q8: Review
/

comments
I recently reviewed the incredible 2023 Audi RS 6 and concluded that it would be near the top of my “forever car” list. You know, that old daydream trope where someone offers you a free car, but you have keep it forever as your main car? So, when Audi asked if I wanted to have…

Cars not reviewed, but not forgotten: 2023 Edition
/
/
comments
As with last year, some of the press vehicles I drove this year went without a written review (though we did cover them on The Off the Road Again Podcast). Yet these cars, trucks, and SUVs are still worth mentioning, so this post covers them in short format. In chronological order from least to most…

2024 Hyundai Kona Limited AWD: Review
/
/
comments
I’ll start this review with some trivia, did you know that the Hyundai Kona is called the Hyundai Kauai in Portugal? Isn’t that interesting, makes you wonder what Kona means in Portuguese? Oh, I’ve just googled it and now know that it means…lady parts! Wow, this is off to a strange start. With all that…

2024 Mazda CX-50 Turbo Premium Plus: Review

comments
First of all, Happy Holidays Hoons! I hope the season has been good to you so far. I feel like Santa Claus would look good in Soul Red Crystal Metallic, so it was with that in mind that I got started with this latest review. I last reviewed the Mazda CX-50 in June of 2022…

2024 GMC Sierra 2500HD AT4X AEV Quick Review: Big, bad, overkill
/
/
comments
GM seems to be all-in on off-roader pickups these days. Its Colorado ZR2 trim spilled over to the Silverado ZR2, then to the 2500HD models, and over to GMC’s Canyon and Sierra trucks. But it’s getting to be absolute overkill: GM’s flagship off-road-focused pickup truck, the 2024 Sierra 2500HD AT4X AEV, has a hood that…

2023 Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 Quick Review: decent truck, mediocre tow rig
/
/
comments
The new generation of Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon debuted to much applause, if not for being a solid midsize pickup in of itself than for being a huge step forward from the outgoing generation which had been on sale in North America since the 2015 model year. As a fan of the class in…

2024 Lexus TX 350: Review
/
/
comments
The three-row SUV segment has been known to absolutely print money for automakers, which makes it a bit of a surprise that Toyota hasn’t built more under the Lexus badge. Sure, the big truck-like options like the GX and LX have had that option for some time, and they did cram a 3rd row into…
