2024 Jeep Gladiator Mojave Review
/
/
comments
It wasn’t long ago that if you wanted a factory-built Jeep and a pickup truck, you had to buy both; and, it wasn’t long ago that if you wanted a desert-running factory-built pickup, it meant buying a Ford Raptor. Jeep finally alleviated buyers of this dilemma for the 2020 model year with the Gladiator, and…

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…

The New Toyota Land Cruiser is Better than I Thought It Would Be

comments
Land Cruiser lovers lamented when Toyota made the decision to exclude the 300-Series from the North American market. Sure, you could get a version of it if you opted to shuffle into a Lexus dealer. But that’s not the truck true Land Cruiser fans were hoping to find. But the lack of a Land Cruiser…

2024 Nissan Z NISMO Review

On Father’s Day morning I fulfilled the car-dad stereotype by going for a solo drive to get some coffee at the local “car guys” spot. Behind the wheel of the new 2024 Nissan Z NISMO, I felt like the coolest guy in town. Fully expecting the Z to draw some attention upon my arrival, it…

2024 Subaru Outback 2.4 Touring XT Review
/
/
comments
The Subaru Outback is the brand’s second-best selling vehicle as of late, slotting in behind the same-ethos-but-smaller-and-less-expensive Crosstrek. And yet, the Outback still feels like the heart of Subaru, embodying the notion that weather conditions don’t matter, you don’t need low-range to go into the woods, and the wagon lifestyle is better than that brought…

2024 Lexus NX 350h Luxury AWD: Would it be a Good Bugout Vehicle?
/
/
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…

Audi RS6 Avant GT is a Longroof Love-Letter to the 90 IMSA GTO
/
/
comments
Audi kicked a lot of butt with its 90 Quattro GTO race car. This was an inline-5-cylinder all-wheel-drive monster machine that Hans Stuck drove the wheels off and shocked V8-powered beasts on plenty of road courses. That car should’ve easily secured a championship in 1989, but a few missed races and early teething issues prevented…

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…

The Corvette Z06 is Actually a Supercar, and That’s Okay!
/
/
comments
I can feel folks getting ready to hit the keys to type my messages, telling me I’m wrong. But I don’t care because I’m here to tell you that the C8 Corvette Z06 is a supercar. It has evolved. It is more than. The idea that this is “just” a sports car is now incorrect.…

2024 Kia EV9 GT-Line AWD Review: Fantastic family hauler of the future
/
/
comments
You know when someone you trust tells you that something is good, but you’re still skeptical? That was the case with my own doubts and the Kia EV9. This is a great three-row family hauler, and any questions about its merits should be thrown to the wayside. In fact, most people buying Suburbans and the…
