With the 2024 Toyota Tacoma dominating the headlines this week, there hasn’t been much else happening in the industry.

It’s normal to expect a new car to become better than its predecessor. That’s progress after all, right?

I recently attended the launch of the new GMC Canyon AT4X. The truck is outfitted for fun right from the factory and it joins a growing list of pickups that are already well-sorted right off the assembly line. As these trucks gain off-road and trail-related capability, the parts being thrown at them increase. And now…

It feels good to get in and push it in a car like the Porsche 718 GTS 4.0. That’s because the steering feel is excellent, the power is perfect for the platform, and the six-speed manual gearbox is wonderfully tuned.

I sold my Jag on Cars and Bids and it was a great experience

My 1986 Jaguar XJ6 was a fun car to own. I think it’s one of the all-time great sedan designs. The interior was comfortable. And having a Chevy V8 under the hood certainly didn’t hurt the ownership experience. Still, during my few years with the car, I only put a few thousand miles on it.…

A new day and a new Lexus teaser. This time it is the 2024 Lexus GX. It appears that the front end will not have the extreme “Predator” face. The last generation of GX really leaned into this look and has turned some people away from the truck. Potentially we will see the GX on…

Lexus is teasing a new vehicle, the 2024 Lexus TX. No release date was shared, and just one image. All I can see when I look at the name is the Lexus Texas, pronounced as “Lejas Tejas.” My gut/sources tell me this is a Lexus version of the Toyota Grand Highlander. The rear structure is almost identical…
