Movie “Cars” – Aliens Armored Personnel Carrier

comments
You come across the strangest things on the internet, and at Hooniverse, we’re good with weird. Some sort of Facebook algorithm figured I might like a post from the Stan Winston School of Character Arts (which is a thing) about the APC carrier from the movie Aliens. They were very much correct. Behold, the Hunslet…

2021 Acura TLX SH-AWD A-Spec

comments
I’ve got a lot of history with fun Hondas, so when I saw that “2021 Acura TLX SH-AWD A-SPEC” on my upcoming press loaner list, I was pretty excited. First, check out Jeff’s article on the latest TLX, he tested basically the same car I had but in a different color. Great, welcome back. Before…

First of all, screw you 2020. You took the HCOTY, but you’ll never take our freedom! Wait, you might. That said, we kept the Hooniverse garages full of press loaners and other test vehicles this year. All told we published 91 total reviews for 2020. That included 21 Sedans, 7 coupes, 2 convertibles, 4 sports…

Is the latest Grand Tour a Massive Hit?
/
/
comments
The Boys are back on Amazon. No, not the dark superhero show (which is great) but Clarkson, Hammond, and May in the Grand Tour Presents…A Massive Hunt. COVID has affected the kickoff of the latest season (4) but they pulled together a special where they traipse around Madagascar looking for £100M of buried pirate treasure.…

2020 Lexus LX 570 – The $103,224 Thirteen Year Old
/

comments
Six-figure vehicles are an interesting segment of the automotive world. On a daily basis, unless you live in a fairly affluent area, you won’t see that many on the road. Well, unless you live in Miami, whereas renowned poet William Smith said “Hundred-thousand dollar cars, e’ybody got em”. I would say that even around Washington…

This is the 4th Generation 2022 Acura MDX
/
/
comments
I’ve got a shortlist of those automotive companies that I personally believe are killin’ it lately. Acura is one of those companies, and the more of their wares I’ve sampled of late, the stronger that feeling gets. Sure the NSX was amazing, but so was the first generation TLX, and the latest TLX. Kamil took…

Gymkhana 2020: Ultimate Hometown Shred
/
/
comments
I’m a big Gymkhana fan. It’s just about the most fun automotive media production I’ve seen, perhaps ever. However, I’ve wondered how they would keep it fresh. Critics will say it’s largely the same thing each time, Ken Block siding around in a different location. For the “turned up to 11” Gymkhana 2020 version, they…

Why the 2022 Kia Sedona Minivan Matters
/
/
comments
I know, not everyone is into new stuff, and I’m not saying that a minivan is necessarily hoon-worthy, but what Hyundai and Kia are doing lately is impressive. Pretty much everything I’ve driven from Hyundai and Kia over the past couple of years has been good to great, but this 2022 Sedona (called the Carnival…

2020 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid Limited – Hyundai is killing it!
/
/
comments
Seriously, the title of this article couldn’t be more true. I say this with no specific preference or bias regarding the Korean automaker. It’s just that this ongoing car-review-story that I’ve been telling has a hero emerging, and its name is the Hyundai Motor Company. Between their various badges, Hyundai, Kia, and Genesis, they are…

2020 Volkswagen Tiguan SE R-Line Black 4MOTION – I dig it
/
/
comments
I approach these ideas as if I’m telling you a running story. Each car, truck, or SUV I drive builds on my own impressions about what’s good, and what isn’t good, in the automotive world. In the same sense, automakers are telling an ongoing story of their own with each vehicle that comes out of…
