2020 Hyundai Palisade Review
The Hyundai Palisade and Kia Telluride have different names and are sold under different labels. The same company makes them. Kia is a part of Hyundai in the same way GMC is part of GM and Lexus is a Toyota division—a common practice in the auto industry. The Palisade and Telluride are mostly the same […]
2021 Honda Odyssey Review
Ironically, two of the things that make for a family-friendlier vehicle have been disappearing from the market: Sliding rather than swing-open doors. And there are also three usable rows of seats, which can be made even more usable by making some of them disappear when needed. That vehicle is called the minivan. GM, Ford, Nissan, […]
2020 Dodge Charger Review
Most American cars used to be like the Dodge Charger still is. They were big, they were rear-wheel-drive, and they offered big V8 engines. Now almost no cars are like that, which probably explains why the Charger is still so popular with American car buyers, even though other sedans no longer are. What It Is […]
2020 BMW X2 Review
Crossover SUVs are popular because they have everything except style. They’re great in bad weather, space-efficient, and more versatile than cars. You can fold the seats, fill them with stuff that won’t fit in a car twice the size. That’s why they’re selling so much better than cars. But they suffer from look-alike syndrome, which […]
2020 Toyota Camry TRD Review
Stock car racing used to be based on stock cars—production cars you could buy, modified to race. Today, it’s the reverse. The race cars are cars you can’t buy, with the production cars modified to look like race cars such as the latest iteration of Toyota’s Camry sedan. The one you can buy is a […]
2020 Toyota Sequoia Review
Sometimes, new and improved isn’t—improved, that is. The 2020 Toyota Sequoia isn’t new, but that’s because it doesn’t need much improvement. Toyota has been selling it the same way since 2008 because it sells. You don’t risk improving on that. What It Is The Sequoia is Toyota’s full-size SUV, with three rows of seats, body-on-frame […]
2020 Lincoln Continental Review
It took about 25 years to sink in. The best-selling Lincoln of the modern era isn’t a car. It’s the Navigator — Lincoln’s version of the Ford Expedition SUV. On the strength of Navigator sales, Lincoln outsold Cadillac for a while back in the ’90s. Until it tried selling cars again. Including cars like the […]
2020 Lexus GX460 Review
If you want to go off-road as opposed to off into the grass and be comfortable without being too big, there aren’t many options. That’s why it’s easy for Lexus to sell the GX460 to people looking for all of that in one reasonably sized package. What It Is The GX460 is an extremely off-road-capable […]
2021 VW Atlas Review
How much difference do three feet and 50 years make? It’s the difference between a 1970 VW Beetle that could carry four people (two of them extremely uncomfortably and all of them very slowly) and a 2021 VW Atlas, which can carry seven comfortably and speedily. The Atlas is, without doubt, the largest VW ever. […]
2020 Hyundai Kona Review
Crossovers are so popular, and they’re getting smaller. Examples include the Honda HR-V, which was one of the very first subcompact crossovers and also the Mazda CX-3, which is one of the most stylish. One of the latest is the Hyundai Kona, which came onto the market in 2018. All of them are very small […]
