“You can please some of the people all of the time, you can please all of the people some of the time, but you can’t please all of the people all of the time”. Building cars is hard, especially when it comes to enthusiast vehicles. Not only do automakers not make a ton of money…

2022 Audi Q7 Prestige l Review

comments
The “school run” is a tried and true way to evaluate the latest SUV. How well does it stand up to the rigors and abuse from a second grader as well as what other mom’s and dad’s are driving? I know, we’re technically still on summer break, but cut me some slack, I’ve had a…

2022 Lexus LX 600 Ultra Luxury l Review

I’ll say this up front, it should be a federal mandate that Nori Green be an option on every new car. Lexus gets it, and when they dropped off this 2022 Lexus LX 600 Ultra Luxury for review I was immediately smitten by the color. This was actually my second Nori Green Lexus loaner, but…

2022 Ford Lightning l Quick Spin

comments
“Holy crap that’s quick” – Those were the first words I said upon exiting the new 2022 Ford Lightning. I was invited to take a quick spin in the new electric full-size truck over at the now-defunct (and at some point to be imploded) RFK Stadium parking lot. Ford had set up a small course…

2022 Toyota GR Supra 3.0 Premium l Review

If I never read another “Nice BMW” comment regarding the fifth generation Supra, I’ll end my time on this earth in peace. Why internet commentators believe that they have some insider knowledge that no one else has is beyond me. We know who makes it. However, that tension framed my most recent encounter with the…

2022 Genesis G80 AWD 3.5T Sport Prestige l Review

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…

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…

First Drive: 2023 Cadillac Escalade-V
/
/
comments
The 2023 Cadillac is a full-size luxury SUV packing 682 horsepower from its 6.2-liter supercharged V8 engine. It can rip from 0-60 mph in under 4.4 seconds. And it’s also serene, quiet, and comfortable on the inside… until you mash the throttle or blast the 36-speaker AKG sound system. What a silly thing in this…

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…
