2022 Kia EV6 5.02.2022
The 2022 Kia EV6 crossover is the first step in Kia’s plan to deliver 11 all-new electric vehicles worldwide by 2026. Kia is no stranger to pure battery-electric vehicles, but prior to now, their BEV offerings have been built on existing Kia products such as the Soul EV and Niro EV. The EV6 however, rides on a dedicated Electric-Global Modular Platform… Read More

2022 Subaru BRZ 4.01.2022
Many people were skeptical we’d even see a 2nd generation of the Subaru BRZ. But, this reworked sport coupe has arrived for 2022 and we couldn’t be happier. Not only is there a new version of the Subaru-Toyota rear-wheel drive joint venture, but the BRZ-GR86 engineering team kept the spirit of the original design fully intact, only making subtle changes… Read More

2022 Genesis GV70 2.01.2022
At most new car dealers these days, it’s all about utility vehicles. So, Hyundai’s Genesis is now adding SUV number two to their lineup, the 2022 GV70. Given seemingly insatiable demand for luxury SUVs, it does look like perfect timing for this fresh mid-size offering. After spending quality time behind the wheel, we judge the GV70 to be agile enough for… Read More

2022 Jeep Grand Wagoneer 1.01.2022
The last decade has seen tremendous growth in all things SUV with some brands dropping traditional cars all together. Already all-utility all the time, Jeep too added models, but mostly small and mid-size designs. Now they’ve gone big family in a big way with the 3-row Grand Cherokee L and a full-size Wagoneer family. But it is the truly opulent 2022 Grand… Read More

2022 Nissan Frontier 12.01.2021
We all know that pickup trucks tend to have longer life cycles than cars and crossovers, but the fact that the current Nissan Frontier mid-size pickup truck has been soldiering on for 15–years here in the U.S. and Canada is pretty remarkable. What’s even more remarkable is that Nissan replaced our outgoing Frontier in global markets years ago! Well, that… Read More

2021 Ford Bronco 11.01.2021
The original, 1960s Ford Bronco is a true automotive icon. Tidy, simple, and immensely rugged. And while Ford claims the all-new 2021 Bronco is its direct descendant, times have changed. Still, much like the original, its mission is clear. Give Jeep’s Wrangler some serious competition. Indeed, it’s hard to drive anywhere without seeing a jacked up Jeep… Read More

2022 Honda Civic 10.01.2021
For nearly half a century, the Honda Civic compact car series has embodied safe, reliable, entry-level family transportation. Along the way, both fun and frugality have added variety to the mix.

2021 Jeep Wrangler 4xe 9.01.2021
If there’s one vehicle that we thought might never make the transition to battery power it was the go-anywhere Jeep Wrangler. Well, the joke’s on all of us, as Jeep is wasting no time embracing the electrified future with this 2021 Wrangler 4xe hybrid, the first of three plug-ins planned for this year. The main thing to know about this plugin hybrid or… Read More

2021 Hyundai Elantra 8.01.2021
Compact cars have come a long way. No longer just entry-level choices for first time new car buyers, compact sedans now offer just about every comfort and convenience feature found on larger family sedans and even luxury cars. Hyundai’s Elantra has played a big part in that transformation. This year sees the launch of the 7th generation Elantra, a car that… Read More

2021 Cadillac CT5 7.01.2021
The Cadillac CT5 sedan arrived last year as a replacement for the CTS; a car that made great strides in being a true competitor to European luxury sport sedans. Now, just one year later, and Cadillac is already making updates to the CT5. Attempting to win over buyers of European cars is nothing new for Cadillac, starting with the Seville way back when… Read More
