2024 Genesis GV70 3.5T AWD Sport Prestige: Review
/
/
comments
A lot has happened since I reviewed my last Genesis GV70. In May of last year, I spent a week with the 2023 Genesis Electrified GV70 AWD Prestige, and since then, demand for EVs has cooled significantly. Fourteen months ago, the Genesis brand was heading towards a full-electric future. Whether they stay that all-EV course…

comments
I’m no prepper, but living near Washington, D.C., it’s easy to evaluate one’s ability to pick up and head elsewhere. So, whether that need comes from rising tides or a full-on civil war, I decided to try something different with this review. Let’s see how this 2024 Lexus NX 350h Luxury AWD might handle a…

Hey Hoons, your friendly neighborhood car buyer checking in. I’m taking a break from the usual car review programming to update everyone on my latest happenings. When last we spoke, I was selling my 2017 Jaguar F Type R on Cars & Bids. I was also driving a 2023 Wrangler Sahara for a daily driver…

2024 Hyundai Venue Limited: Review
/
/
comments
Cars are getting more expensive, with the average new car price currently at just over $47,000. That’s a lot. In fact, only four of the 41 cars I’ve owned have made it over that MSRP. Plus, the press loaners they send us are typically the top trim level, so I rarely test a truly inexpensive…

2024 Toyota Corolla Hybrid SE AWD: Review
/
/
comments
Despite its raging sales success, the Corolla has always been a bit of “an car.” It was an obvious choice if you wanted a reliable commuting appliance that wasn’t too expensive. Lately, Toyota has been adding a bit of diversity to the lineup with the Corolla Cross, the GR Corolla, and the Corolla hatchback. There’s…

2024 Mazda MX-5 Miata Grand Touring: Review
/
/
comments
Can you believe that the fourth-generation ND Miata went into production in March 2015? I went to a launch event in October of that year and was pretty impressed, but in North America, we didn’t actually get it until the 2016 model year. That still means that the ND is nearly nine years old, so…

We are now in the eighth generation of VW’s hatchback Golf. Introduced in 2022, the latest iteration looks incredibly sharp comes with a redesigned interior and a host of comfort and tech features.

2024 Genesis G70 3.3T: Review
/
/
comments
You have likely passed a Genesis sedan or SUV and said, “Oh damn, what is that” at some point. During one of my first Genesis sedan road tests, I had a couple at a gas station say, “Nice Bentley.” That seems to be pretty indicative of most people’s thoughts on the Hyundai luxury spinoff; they…

Road Trip: 2024 Volkswagen Atlas 2.0T SEL Premium R-Line 4MOTION
/
/
comments
Road trips are a time-honored tradition here in the States. Well, they could also be elsewhere, but I don’t live there. The week this 2024 VW Atlas arrived to test, I had just purchased a new vehicle (more on that soon). As excited as I was to take it on a road trip, it came…

2024 Acura TLX Type S: Review
/
/
comments
I love a good sports sedan. It’s one of my favorite vehicle variants behind the wagon. Honda has been making good sporty sedans for decades, and their latest Integra Type S is one of my favorites. I’ve also spent some time behind the wheel of a 2021 TLX SH-AWD A-SPEC, which kicked off the 2nd…
