    This article is less about what is, and more about what could be. I’ve been driving this Kia Niro EV for the last week and something occurred to me, it’s pretty damn quick! Most mags estimate the 0-60 time in the mid six second range with the 1/4 mile passing in the mid 15s. That…

    I started this 2020 Toyota RAV4 TRD review by trying not to focus on COVID-19. I only got through the title. It’s impossible, our “new normal” is far from normal. I know, I’ve seen the Facebook memes, our grandparents faced worse. We just need to sit on the couch and watch that Tiger show on…

    There is a reason that many of us enthusiasts pine for the 1990s. You had the rise of some amazing Japanese cars that were not only a lot of fun to drive, they were also magically reliable. Since then there has been a decrease in cars that are both desirable and reliable. It’s hard to…

    We cover the Toyota 4Runner a lot here on Hooniverse. So it was with that in mind that I decided to pile on with my review of the 2020 Toyota 4Runner Nightshade Special Edition. Because, here’s the thing – I don’t really like the Toyota 4Runner. Never have. I’ve always found it overpriced with a…
