2022 Genesis G70 Review
Lexus understood the importance of value to people who bought luxury cars such as those made by Mercedes and BMW–back when Mercedes and BMW pretty much owned the luxury car market. Lexus acquired a large chunk of what had been their market by offering luxury cars that were better values (and arguably, better cars) than those […]
2022 BMW 4-Series Convertible Review
Retractable hardtops have their virtues. The chief one is that when the top isn’t retracted, you have a solid roof over your head and what else is in your car. It is harder to slice open a hardtop than a top made of cloth. But, retractable hardtops are heavy. And they take up even more […]
2022 Fiat 500X Review
Can a car company continue to be a car company when it has only one car in its inventory? That is the current situation with Fiat, which no longer sells the 500 coupe, the slightly larger 500L wagon or the 124 Spider sports car, either. That leaves the 500X as the last new Fiat. Is […]
2022 Subaru Outback Wilderness Review
There are two versions of the Wilderness version of two Subaru models–the Forester and the Outback. Each are similar in that they both come standard with additional features that make them more capable of operating in rough conditions both on and off-road than the other versions of these models. These upgrades include a raised suspension […]
2022 Lexus RX350 Review
Mad Max drove the last of the V8 Interceptors. This may be your last chance to drive the last V6-powered crossover, which also happens to be the first crossover. The Lexus RX. What It Is Way back in 1998, Lexus introduced the RX300. It was a big introduction because back in ’98, there weren’t any other luxury crossover SUVs. […]
2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee L Review
The Jeep Grand Cherokee has most of what lots of people want as evidenced by the fact that the GC is Jeep’s best-selling model. But it hasn’t got one thing many people need–that being a third row. Enter the Grand Cherokee L, which does. What It Is The Grand Cherokee L is a longer version of the standard […]
2022 Jaguar F-Pace Review
The thing about Jags is they’ve never been practical cars. Thank god! They have always been beautiful cars, though. The chromed leaper on the hood, for instance, is more beautiful all by itself than the entirety of most other cars. The trick is making the practical beautiful. Enter the F-Pace. It’s not as fetching to view when […]
2022 Mini JCW Review
What has the Mini Cooper got that the VW Beetle lacked? The question arises because the Mini is still here while the Beetle isn’t. The resurrected icon was initially very popular when VW brought it back in the late ‘90s but became less so after it was significantly restyled in 2010—it was made to look […]
2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee Review
A few weeks back I wrote about the new Ford Explorer, one of the few mid-sized, three-row SUVs available in a segment dominated by car-based crossover SUVs. The Explorer is rear-drive and offers 4WD as opposed to the usual crossover FWD/AWD layout. This week’s review is about one of the few remaining mid-sized, two-row SUVs in the same class that is […]
2022 Infiniti Q60 Review
If you want to drive the new Nissan Z-car, you’ll have to wait a bit longer since it’s not yet available. But you can get a very similar car, right now, from the same company that makes both. What It Is The Infiniti Q60 is a two-door, four-seat luxury-sport coupe with four seats that’s very similar in looks and […]
