For Sale: Would you take a gamble with a $7,000 Porsche Cayenne?
/
The Porsche Cayenne is an interesting machine. When it arrived, Porsche purists cried out that the brand had lost its way. What they didn’t realize at the time though, is that the Cayenne was a money-printing machine for the brand. And so to unto that notion is the Macan today. These Porsche SUVs have only…

2022 Toyota Tundra 1794 CrewMax l Review
/
The Toyota Tundra is a relative newcomer to the truck world, only having been around since the year 2000. The new millennium brought us Toyota’s replacement for the old T100 truck, the XK30/XK40 Tundra. An entire twenty two years later and we’re just now getting the third generation of Toyota’s full-size truck. That first generation…

2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk l Review
/
It’s hard to fathom, but the Jeep Grand Cherokee (JGC) has been in production for…wait for it…thirty years. There it is, I said it. The ZJ generation was Jeep’s first attempt at a luxury SUV. With six and eight cylinder power the Grand Cherokee set up much of the basis of what we know the…

Is this the only way I’ll be able to afford a vintage Ford Mustang?
/
The idea of swapping the Jaguar out for something cool and older is playing on a constant loop in my head. And one of the vehicles that pop up most frequently is an old Ford Mustang. I’ve always been a Ford fan. The Mustang is an icon. And for quite a long time, older Mustangs…

For Sale: 302-powered Ford Falcon Wagon is a classically cool longroof
/
This 1967 Ford Falcon wagon was the 3rd listing on a fresh page of Craigslist posts. That should be the sign of a good day. And this is a good car at a price that isn’t quite as crazy as everything else that’s been offered for sale as of late. The seller says they want…

Hooniverse Asks: What wagon do you want to buy?
/
I’m not asking if you want one, I’m asking which one you want to buy. If you already have one, I’m sure there are others you’d like. The lovely longroof is a wonderful vehicle and I hope to see more of them on the road. That’s not going to happen but I can dream, right?…

Land Rover upsizes the Defender to add in a 3rd row
/
They’re calling it the 2023 Land Rover Defender 130. If you need to cram more stuff into a Defender, now you can. Land Rover has added 13.38 inches and can now seat up to eight people inside. Seeing as it still says Defender on the outside, the actual off-road specs are still quite usable. Land…

Review: 2022 Honda Passport TrailSport
/
In 2019 I took a quick off-road excursion in a slightly modified Honda Passport. That drive proved two things. First, so-called cross-over utility vehicles are better off-road than we think. Second, they’re still not nearly as good as proper body-on-frame utility vehicles purposely designed to be off-road capable. That second part has most to do…

Vårmønstringen 2022: The first proper, post-pandemic spring car show in Bergen, Norway
/
Ascension Day is a public holiday in Norway, and oil Vikings of the west look forward to it for one particular reason: “Vårmønstringen”, the spring car show of the motor clubs in Bergen. It’s a small city of barely 300,000 people, plagued by 200 days of precipitation a year, a salty climate, and a regulatory…

Hooniverse Asks: What would you like to talk about?
/
It’s hard to find a subject to talk about this morning. My brain is fogged up by a whole lot of negativity that exists in the world. Maybe yours is too. So instead of me posing a specific question today, I’d love to just hear about anything you want to talk about. Literally any subject…

The 2022 Lexus LX 600 is 90 Percent a Land Cruiser
/
It’s not the 300-Series Land Cruiser, but the 2022 Lexus LX 600 is pretty darn close. We no longer get the Cruiser here in North America as the LX 600 is now the defacto full-bore big off-roader from the Toyota family. And that’s actually not bad when you consider it has a powerful twin-turbocharged V6,…
