    If you were thinking of getting a daily driver that you could also take to the track, I’m sure for most of you reading this, an EV isn’t part of that discussion. Hyundai wants to change the conversation, though, and thus the automaker has cooked up an EV for the enthusiast. At least, that’s the…

    The Defender 130 was initially the JLR truck that piqued my interest the least. That’s because the 110 is the perfect size for me personally. I don’t need or want a three-row SUV, but more cargo room is a nice thing to have. So, the arrival of the D130 in Outbound spec has caught my…

    The 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe arrives with seriously fresh style, good power from the gas engine, and an almost shockingly good XRT off-road-esque model. In fact, taking a look at the full lineup; the XRT is the one to buy! [Disclaimer: Hyundai flew me to TN, put me up in a hotel, and fed me.]

    The Nissan Z Nismo is a 420-hp sports car with great upgrades for the track. But is it worthy of your money? Because Nissan is asking for a LOT of it… [Disclaimer: Nissan tossed us the keys to this Z Nismo and included a full tank of fuel.]

    The 2024 Toyota Tacoma is a greatly improved truck. And one of the bright spots, at least for me, has always been the TRD Off-Road trim. The new engine delivers great torque, the seats are comfortable, and the entire thing has been brought into the modern day. [Disclaimer: Toyota tossed us the keys to the…

    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…

    The Acura Integra Type S is a 320-hp sports sedan that’s built for daily-duty greatness. It’s a blast on a curvy road, but also comfortable and enjoyable for the drive to and from work. It’s a great dual-natured machine. [Disclaimer: Acura tossed me the keys to the Type S and included a tank of fuel.]

    The Honda Motocompacto is a modern take on a cult classic. It’s the reimagined version of the Motocompo scooter from the early 80s. That was called a trunk bike and it was designed to fit in the rear of the subcompact Honda City. Today, the Motocompacto is here and it weighs half as much, as…

    The 2023 Toyota Sequoia TRD Pro is a pretty sweet machine in that it’s nicely built for off-road adventure, but can pack plenty of people and things on the inside. It looks the business and even offers up decent noise, just ignore that it’s mostly piped in via the speakers. But it’s also colossally expensive……

    You’re here, and then you’re instantly over there when you’re driving the Lucid Air Grand Touring Performance. That’s what happens when you have over 1,000 horsepower being put to the ground seemingly effortlessly. What a wild machine, this thing is… [Disclaimer: Lucid sent over the Air and tossed us the keys. They also gave us…
