2022 Genesis G80 AWD 3.5T Sport Prestige l Review
/

comments
What is luxury? Is it a certain experience, a pre-established or agreed-upon level of quality or performance? Or is it simply aligned to a limited number of badges or brands? I’ve always had the impression that it’s sort of like pornography, you know it when you see it. Or actively search for it, whatever, that’s…

Ioniq 5 vs. Mach-E vs. bZ4X – Quick Comparo

comments
I have had the recent privilege of sampling quite a few new EVs coming onto the market and figured I am in the position to provide some useful consumer advice (for once). Within the span of a week, I got to spend time with the new 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5, and the not-even-released 2023 Toyota…

2023 Mazda CX-50 2.5 Turbo Premium Plus l Review

comments
The average automaker’s lineup is an alphanumeric soup of, well, letters and numbers. I know those of us in the industry have deciphered most of it, hopefully the consumer has had some success as well. Mazda added another number to the CX-5 for the 2023 model year to make the new CX-50. Mazda is positioning…

2022 Honda Civic Si HPT l Review

comments
I’ve had an interesting relationship with the Honda Civic Si. When I got out of college I was driving a new 1999 Civic EX. It was Clover Green Pearl with the larger factory spoiler, upgraded 15-inch wheels, and a manual transmission. It was a practical change from the 1996 Camaro I was driving before heading…

2022 Dodge Durango R/T l Review

comments
On the heels of saying that the Kia Telluride is the benchmark for midsize three-row SUVs, why would you ever consider anything else? Well, if you are true hoon you might just be soothed by the smooth growl of a big V8 engine. Not surprisingly, Dodge has you covered with several V8-powered SUVs. They loaned…

2022 Kia Telluride SX V6 AWD l Review

/
comments
I’m gonna say this up front, the Kia Telluride may just be the new benchmark midsize crossover. My colleague Eric covered it on Hooniverse well back when it was a brand new model in 2020, noting that it’s “as good as everyone says“. If you’re already sold on that notion, thanks for clicking and you…

2022 Toyota GR86 Premium l Review

/
comments
I’ll say this up front, I was never a massive fan of the original FR-S/BRZ/86. Conceptually, sure I was all in. A light two door RWD coupe, yes please. However, in practice I just never came to love any of them, and it came down to one reason. Power. Sure, you can have massive fun…

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…

comments
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…

Who here doesn’t like a hatchback? If you don’t, get out! Just kidding, we’ll take any and all reader. Please don’t leave. If you aren’t a fan of the hatch, let me help bring you over to the correct side. The hatchback is all things to all people, it’s not only practical, but with the…
