2023 Volvo S90 Review
Volvo — as everyone knows — is a Swedish brand. What many do not know is that it is owned by the Chinese and that “Swedish” cars like the S90 are also made in China. So, is it still a “Volvo”? What It Is The S90 is Volvo’s largest and top-of-the-line luxury sedan. Technically, it is Geely Motors’ largest and top-of-the-line luxury […]
2023 Ford F-150 Lightning Review
It’s interesting that the first electric vehicles of the modern era weren’t trucks — which have a lot more room than cars do for batteries. This matters because electric vehicle batteries take up a lot of space — which means less of that for people and stuff in an electric car. In the case of the F-150 Lightning, the […]
2023 Alfa Romeo Giulia Review
Fiat stopped selling cars in the United States last year — but there’s still an Italian-brand car you can buy here (other than a Ferrari). It’s the Giulia — one of two Italian cars made by Alfa Romeo. Of course, it being Italian — and so something different — is only one reason to consider buying […]
2023 Chrysler 300 C Review
It is not just the end of the line for the 300 sedan – which Chrysler has just announced will be retired after the end of the 2023 model year. It may also – by dint of that – be the end of the line for Chrysler, too. For once the 300 is gone, the only remaining […]
2023 Toyota Camry TRD Review
You can still get a V6 engine in Toyota’s Camry, which is the only remaining mid-sized/family-priced sedan that offers more than a four. Engines larger than that have become a rarity in a class of cars where V6s were common as recently as five years ago. The government’s continual ratcheting up of federal fuel economy […]
2023 Ford Mustang Mach e Review
Tesla made the first modern electric cars, beginning about 15 years ago. It also made the first electric cars that weren’t focused on being economical or practical cars as the first electric cars (like the Baker electrics) were designed to be, some 120 years ago. Tesla’s concept was to make electric performance cars, so as […]
2022 Mercedes EQS Review
Here’s something that’s hard to find: An electric version of a car that costs less than the engine version of the same car. That would be the Mercedes EQS. What It Is The EQS is essentially an electrified S-Class sedan, which is Mercedes’ top-of-the-line (and full-size) luxury sedan. The body of the EQS is more streamlined, with […]
2022 Toyota Prius Review
The best electric car is the one you never have to plug in—a hybrid electric car like the Toyota Prius. It has all of the advantages of an electric car including the ability to be plugged in (if you buy the plug-in version) and run on battery alone for about 25 miles without ever having […]
2022 Ford Maverick Review
Trucks used to be affordable, practical things. The new Ford Maverick resurrects that idea and adds one more. It is also easier on gas than most economy cars because none of them have a bed you can haul stuff in. What It Is The Maverick is not a ‘70s spin-off of the Pinto/Mustang II as […]
2022 Lexus GX460 Review
The blockbuster novel and movie Jurassic Park was all about resurrecting the dinosaurs, but wouldn’t it have been better to just keep them from going extinct in the first place? The Lexus GX460 is one such dinosaur well worth preserving. It’s been around and largely unchanged since 2010–an automotive Jurassic Era ago. Most cars and trucks get a […]
