2026 Dodge Charger Sixpack HO Scat Pack Plus Two Door Review
/
Any followup to a massive success is subject to inevitable supplemental scrutiny. The new-for-2024 Dodge Charger demonstrates just that, with the new car always destined to be viewed under a microscope after the prior Challenger-Charger duo’s perpetually fantastic sales. And still, few cars rustled feathers over the last few years like the new Charger. Ditching…

2026 Hyundai Palisade XRT PRO Review
/
I know sometimes it feels like us journalists are coming up with wacky things to do with our press loaners. Well, I drove the 2026 Hyundai Palisade XRT Pro to my wedding! Four kids, their assorted stuff, along with the chaos of getting everyone somewhere important on time. The XRT Pro adds a little rugged…

2026 Nissan Armada NISMO Review
/
Enthusiast car circles and the members within tend to have a general disdain for SUVs that aren’t maximizing their 4×4-ness, and yet I have always loved sporty SUVs. Something about a practical, do-it-all vehicle that can dance in a way a vehicle in its segment originally wasn’t intended to just enamors me. The 2026 Nissan…

2026 Volvo EX30 Cross Country Twin Motor Performance Ultra
/
This review is a bit of an odd duck. The 2026 Volvo EX30 Cross Country Twin Motor Performance Ultra is one of the more interesting small EVs on the American market. It’s a punchy, clever, characterful little crossover with 422 horsepower and a fun Scandinavian interior. It arrived this year as a brand-new trim level.…

For Sale: My 1991 Mitsubishi Montero Heads To Auction
/
I thought this one would be a forever car. Things change, and you realize there are so many vehicles out there to explore. If I had a larger garage and more money, perhaps the Montero would be sticking around. But I have a chance to buy a different boxy old SUV, and I need some…

2026 Ford F-250 Platinum – One Take Review
/
There was a time when a 3/4-ton truck was a tool and nothing else, but the 2026 Ford F-250 Platinum proves those days are dead. It is a tow rig that offers an interior that rivals the best luxury SUVs on the market. It is a truck that is designed for the buyer who refuses…

2026 Toyota Prius Nightshade Plug-In Hybrid
/
The Toyota Prius has spent the better part of thirty years being the car that responsible people drive. Sensible. Efficient. Correct. The automotive equivalent of eating your vegetables. Then Toyota went and redesigned the thing in 2023, made it genuinely good-looking, gave the plug-in version 220 horsepower and 40 miles of electric range, painted it…

NONWICK: So How’s My 1967 Ford Mustang Doing?
/
I’ve been a bit quiet regarding the Mustang since my last update. In that one, I talked about the thrill of driving the car for the first time. This was quickly followed by the pain of project car ownership, as I sort of blew up the transmission. The worst part of that last sentence? It…

The Working Man’s Raptor: 2025 Ford F-150 Tremor
/
With all my love for the F-150 Raptor, the Raptor is a $90,000 toy for people who want to pretend they’re jumping sand dunes on their way to Starbucks. The Tremor is actually a half-ton truck designed to work. It sits in that sweet spot where you get 33-inch tires and 18-inch wheels without the…

2026 Acura Integra A-Spec w/Technology: Review
/
I’ll be honest with you, the Integra has a bit of a problem. Not because it’s a bad car, it isn’t, but because the Civic Si exists, shares the same engine, and costs about six thousand dollars less by the time you’re comparing apples to apples. So every time I got into this A-Spec with…

2026 Genesis GV70 3.5T Sport Prestige AWD
/
It’s hard to stand out these days, especially if you are a crossover SUV. Perhaps you think your shape is sleek and unique. But it isn’t. That means you need to focus on the details. The headlights, taillights, and trim are even more important for attracting buyers. Genesis has invested heavily as it wades into…

2026 Honda CR-V TrailSport Hybrid: Review
/
Howdy hoons, it’s been a while. To be honest, I had lost my passion for writing, and for a lot of other things if I’m honest. However, I’m back on the horse and excited to share my thoughts on the new 2026 CR-V TrailSport Hybrid. It retains the classic CR-V silhouette but adds a rugged…

2026 BMW i7 M70 Review
/
The 2026 BMW i7 M70 has 650 horsepower and 749 lb-ft of torque, weighs over three tons, does 0-60 MPH in about 3.5 seconds, and (in the guise seen here) costs $192,075. But those numbers hide the real story, which is that this is quite possibly the most plush, comfortable vehicle I have ever had…

2018 Lexus GX460 Build Project | Hamilton Premium CarPlay Conversion Kit
/
As stout as it was mechanically, the 2010-2022 Lexus GX460 was a technological dinosaur even in its heyday. Laden with ancient infotainment featuring an antique looking screen and infuriating controls, the system only received a factory infotainment upgrade for the vehicle’s closing 2022-2024 model years. To remedy the earlier GX460’s woes, Hamilton Motor Company set…

2026 Volvo EX30 – One Take Review
/
Getting a smaller Volvo used to mean you were a safety-obsessed architect who enjoyed sensible sweaters. Now, it means being sensibly green but also being able to accelerate from stand still to 60mph as fast as a Ferrari Roma while sitting in a cabin made of recycled PET bottles. The EX30 is a Swedish design…

Mercedes-AMG GT63 S E-Performance: Grand Touring Excellence
/
The horsepower wars climb ever higher. Case in point: the Mercedes-AMG GT63 S E-Performance. That extra bit of letters on the end signifies that this particular AMG coupe features a plug-in hybrid powertrain. Working in concert, the system delivers a massive 805 horsepower and 1,047 pound-feet of torque. Gargantuan figures for a glorious grand touring…
