Genesis (and Hyundai-Kia generally) are absolutely killing it lately, I drove the G70, G80, and G90 over the past year. And, oddly enough I just realized I did those reviews in numerical order, but that’s not the point. They were all fantastic sedans with a great mix of sport and luxury. It’s clear that Genesis […]

I’m at a point in my life where I just want a car to feel special. That doesn’t mean it has to be expensive, it just has to have a certain quality, one that is almost hard to describe. When you are behind the wheel, it should entertain as well as transport. When you park […]

Going to New York City during the holidays is an exercise in insanity. Everything is cold, crowded, and wildly expensive. Still, my daughter had never been, and it’s an experience worth doing at least once. So we packed up, headed east, and set off to see the city. Just for two days, though, then it […]

More people stopped me to talk about the 2023 GMC Hummer EV than any other car I’ve driven, reviewed, or owned. For better or worse, that is; either side has a strong opinion, and they’ll let you know about it. I’ll be honest, though; my week with the Hummer EV didn’t go as planned. Life […]

The GMC Hummer EV is a physics-defying electric monster machine. It weighs over 9,000 pounds yet can run from 0-60 mph in under 3.5 seconds. It’s big, heavy, stupid… and an absolute blast to drive. Disclaimer: GMC tossed us the keys to the Hummer EV and included a full charge on the battery pack.

I’ll admit, I get a little tired of crossovers. Looking through my 2022 press loan review list, just over 1/3 were crossovers.
