2023 BMW 330e Sedan review by Ben Lewis

There are best sellers, and there are true best sellers. And for BMW, you have to count the 3-series as a long time favorite. BMW made their reputation in the States on small sporting sedans, and today the 3 sedan is the rightful heir to the crown. Which is not to say there’s no competition for the throne – everyone from Audi and Mercedes to Lexus and Genesis are gunning for that spot. So, is the […]

Road Test Followup – 2023 Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy – Hyundai Adds Polish To Calligra…

The 2022 Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy had potential when it came to the art of adding more luxury and flair to the venerable Palisade three-row SUV. However, the outgoing Calligraphy lacked some of the finer details to help it stand out from the rest of the luxury SUV crowd especially in regards to the interior. The Korean car giant is out to remedy this with the 2023 Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy […]

2023 Honda CR-V Sport Touring Hybrid review by Ben Lewis

A long time ago, if we said “name a Honda” odds were pretty good you’d say Civic or Accord. Of course, the crossover/SUV craze has meant that the nameplates most familiar are ones like the CR-V. (Although the Civic and Accord are pretty great vehicles). And the best-selling CR-V fights in one of the most competitive segments around, with such marquee idols as the RAV4, all-new Mazda CX-50, Kia […]

Road Test Review – 2022 Toyota 4Runner TRD Sport – Trails and Sport, Do They Mix Here?

The 2022 Toyota 4Runner is a classic metaphor of function before beauty while proving that age is just a number. The 4Runner has existed in its current form since 2009, with the model receiving its most recent refresh in 2013. While the TRD PRO is the model that gets the bulk of the spotlight, other models in the 4Runner family aim to cover any gaps in the SUV’s resume for Toyota. They […]

Road Test Review – 2023 Lexus RC350 F Sport – Light Updates Keep This Coupe Fresh

The 2023 Lexus RC350 F Sport is an interesting entry in the luxury coupe segment. While the aggressive exterior styling projects sporty driving and track-ready prowess, the RC350 prefers to cruise through the motions with the range-topping V8-powered F model taking on formal track duty. But while the mainstream RC’s approach to the slow life has helped it maintain a presence in the […]

Road Test Review – 2023 Hyundai Elantra N – Is This The Korean Civic Si?

Hyundai’s N division is out to prove that performance can come in all shapes and sizes. While the funky-looking Veloster N was put out to pasture due to declining sales, the company is hoping that the Elantra N can bring the fight to the Honda Civic Si and even the Volkswagen GTI. But is the 2023 Hyundai Elantra N the perfect anti-hero in a sub-segment long dominated by Volkswagen and […]

2023 Lexus RX 500h F Sport Performance review by Ben Lewis

It’s comforting when there’s things you can rely on. Like the Lexus RX. You know it’s going to be a pleasantly styled SUV, with loads of luxury, quiet and refined. So, all of sudden they announce a serious performance-minded, hard-edged RX! What!!!! Well, actually, we have seen Lexus and parent company Toyota getting more sport serious, from the IS 500 to the new GR 86, so it’s not that […]

2023 Mazda 3 2.5 Turbo AWD Premium Plus Hatchback review by Ben Lewis

Everybody has the little things they like to be picky about. We have friends who are wine lovers who scoff at our choices of the crushed grape. We’re snobby about cars. Perfect example, we recently tested the Mazda CX-5, a non turbo model, and were delighted with the sportiness of it. You could pay a lot for the turbo version, but we didn’t think it warranted it. So, when Mazda offered us our […]

Road Test Review – 2023 Lexus LX600 F-Sport, A Land Cruiser In A Green Tinged Tuxedo

The departure of the Toyota Land Cruiser left a noticeable void in Toyota’s full-size SUV lineup here in the U.S. The Land Cruiser combined size, versatility and comfort into an enviable package that was fully capable of delivering the goods on the trail and in the hustle and bustle of the urban jungle. That said, Toyota was prepared to offer a consolation prize to buyers, the 2023 Lexus […]

2023 Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro review by Ben Lewis

What makes a best seller? A simple question, but not always a simple answer. Often, it’s price driven – America’s best-selling hamburger is not likely the tastiest one you’ll find. On the other hand, big box office boffo blockbusters are often really good. But not always. Well Toyota’s Tacoma is certainly one of the best-selling small trucks, and lately is also the king of resale value – often […]

Road Test Review – 2023 Hyundai Kona N – This CUV Has Performance To Spare

The Hyundai Kona has proven to be equivalent of the legendary Barbie doll for Hyundai. While the Kona doesn’t have as strong of an emphasis on providing customers with a dream house or playsets like the iconic doll, the CUV has proven to be good at the other side gig Barbie is known for: being the ultimate flex play for Hyundai sales machine. Whether its in its traditional ICE form, a pure […]

2023 Jeep Wagoneer Series II 4×4 review by Ben Lewis

If you haven’t been to the movies in a while, you might find yourself tempted by the super extra-large popcorn. What the heck, why not? Well, the same thing is happening again with SUVs. While we’re seeing all sorts of small SUVs, EVs and the like, some folks are going big – for the room, for the space, and what the heck, why not? The latest entry in the supersize SUV sweeps is the all-new 2023 […]
