/
/
comments
We’re spoiled for choice these days when it comes to truly good CUVs. Kia (and Hyundai) have made massive strides in this space as of late, and vehicles like the 2023 Kia Sportage Hybrid SX-Prestige AWD are an example of just how far they’ve come. This is a truly solid crossover with good hybrid powertrain…

2023 BMW M340i Quick Review

/
comments
“The sedan is dead!” they chant, “the CUV has taken over wholly and completely!” That might be reflected in sales figures, but there’s still plenty cars (real cars!) out there worth our attention. Even while BMW is seemingly striving to fill every possible niche in the CUV/SUV field, a week with the 2023 M340i showed…

2023 Lexus RZ450e Luxury: EV Review
/
/
comments
The electric future is here, and…it’s a mixed bag if I’m honest. I’ve driven all kinds of EVs, more than I can even self-promotingly link here, and unfortunately one of my least favorite was the Toyota B-zed-Four-X-ray. The bZ4X has a terrible name that is hard to remember, and I found the drive uninspiring, the…

2023 Toyota Prius Prime – The Greatest Glow-Up in Automotive History?
/
/
comments
It’s normal to expect a new car to become better than its predecessor. That’s progress after all, right? But what if a new generation of a car was so objectively and subjectively better in nearly every way? What if what once was a car I loathed for being slow, boring, ugly, and obsolete, suddenly transformed…

The Porsche 718 GTS 4.0 is a nearly perfect drivers car
/
/
comments
It feels good to get in and push it in a car like the Porsche 718 GTS 4.0. That’s because the steering feel is excellent, the power is perfect for the platform, and the six-speed manual gearbox is wonderfully tuned. The entire package adds up to one of the all-time great driver’s cars. [Disclaimer: Porsche…

2023 GMC Canyon AT4X – First Drive!
/
/
comments
The 2023 GMC Canyon AT4X is the slightly fancier sibling to the Colorado ZR2. Does it have the same off-road chops though? Absolutely, thanks to 33″ tires, Multimatic spool valve dampers, front and rear lockers, and trail cameras. We got to put it through its paces on the off-road trails near Asheville, North Carolina. [Disclaimer:…

2023 Genesis Electrified GV70 AWD Prestige: Review
/
/
comments
In case you hadn’t heard, Hyundai Motor Company announced last month that their luxury Genesis brand will go all-electric by the year 2030. To say that is ambitious is an understatement, but they are well on their way. My last two Genesis loaners, the last G80 and the GV60, were both EVs. This week we’re…

The 2024 GMC Sierra 2500 Denali Ultimate is an epic ATV hauler
/
/
comments
Hauling a big-bore ATV is no small feat for a light-duty pickup, especially when that four-wheeler is the monster Polaris Scrambler XP 1000 S. Payload ratings and springs suited for people moving as much as they are for moving mountains makes for a hit-or-miss experience in terms of how well the truck does with nearly…

91 horsepower. 55 inches wide. 14 inches of suspension travel. $17,799 MSRP. Those are the highlights of the Polaris Scrambler XP 1000 S, the biggest, baddest ATV on sale today. It’s equipped with Walker Evans 3-Way adjustable suspension, has 14.5 inches of ground clearance, and looks like something designed to be ridden in the Baja…

The 2023 BMW X7 is a sublime road tripper
/
/
comments
Luxury SUVs are nothing if not excellent road trip vehicles. The plush ride, quiet cabin, copious amenities, and plentiful space make for the best way to cover distance when confined to land. BMW’s X7 should be a natural winner on this front, and we tested out its cred on a recent adventure. How’d it do?…
