    Land Rover invited us back for another round of its Trek competition. This marks our 3rd time competing in the media wave, and it marks our 3rd victory. This time, the competition unfolds in a surprisingly excellent off-road space outside of Austin, Texas. Land Rover has built up a fleet of Defender 130s for use.…

    Having recently sold my Land Cruiser Prado (more on that later), I have been casually shopping for something new. A local Jeep dealer had a used Grand Cherokee V8 in an almost perfect trim for me. After my test drive (I liked the GC, but probably not that one, this was an Overland but I…

    Many of us would go so far as to call Cadillac’s Blackwing cars heroic, iconic, and legendary sports sedans. GM’s luxury brand might not lead the realm in the world’s fancy department but it sure knows how to build chassis and a saloon that drives like a much smaller car. But not everyone wants or…

    The average new car price in the U.S. is just over $48,000, which is a lot. When I walked into a Honda dealer in 1999 and purchased a manual Civic EX, their small CR-V SUV had a starting sticker price of $19,365, with the top-spec trim CR-V EX starting at $20,865. Now I’m doing some…

    OK, hoons, yesterday I celebrated Wagon Wednesday (on a Tuesday) with my “State of the Wagon Address“. While Jeff thought maybe I was making fun of him for his unfinished Mercedes wagon project, I was really lamenting the state of new wagons in North America currently. I know, I know, no on buys them, yadda,…

    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…

    My fellow North Americans, the station wagon as we know it continues to be replaced by high riding versions of itself. As a serial car buyer I’m always car shopping for the next thing. Lately I’ve considered replacing my Wrangler Unlimited with something a little more comfortable, a little quicker (300 horsepower or more), has…

    There has been a lot written about Acura’s new Integra. Angry people on the internet claim that the Civic based Integra isn’t what it should have been. However, that’s what the Integra always was, and we here at Hooniverse like it. We’ve driven the regular Integra and Jeff noted that the “2023 Acura Integra is…

    Let me get two things out of the way right up front; no one is paying me to write this post, and yes I should maybe slow down behind the wheel. That first bit? I’m referring to the fact that this will sound like an ad but it’s in fact just me being supremely impressed…

    As the ATV and UTV world continues to evolve, the mid-level machine remains an integral part of the industry. For many buyers these vehicles bridge the gap between entry-level and big-bore four-wheelers, with satisfactory power and a body capable of withstanding the abuse of rough terrains, all while being reasonably priced. Can-Am has done just…

    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……
