Road Test Review – 2024 Mazda MX-5 Miata Club
Mazda’s iconic MX-5 Miata has always been the proverbial little engine that could with the tiny two-seater becoming a strong seller for the Japanese auto giant in recent years. This is largely due to its simple formula of providing thrills with little power and the fact that it has seductive exterior styling doesn’t hurt either. However, some elements of the recipe were starting to […]
2024 Honda Prologue Elite review by Ben Lewis
It’s interesting to see what’s happening in the EV marketplace. While many manufacturers like Kia and Hyundai were quick to jump on the EV bandwagon, it seems the Japanese carmakers were late coming to the party. Yes, you’ll find plenty of hybrid and plug-in hybrid models, but full-on EV’s – not so much. So, when Honda decided it needed an EV SUV to bring to market, they did a smart thing. […]

Road Test Review – 2024 Mercedes-AMG C63 S E-Performance
The Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG was a rowdy symbol of high-performance fun in the C-Class model lineup. The C63 was well known for its V8 in recent years with the eight-cylinder allowing the car to have a unique identity even at a time when smaller powerplants became the new normal in the segment. However, even the C63 had to face the music when it came to tightening fuel economy regulations in Europe […]
2025 Toyota GR86 Hakone Edition review by Ben Lewis
We love cars. Actually, we love all kinds of cars. But ones that makes us smile the most are small, rear-wheel drive coupes and convertibles designed for the purpose of driving fun. And we don’t mind a bargain, either. Throw those altogether in the mix, and you get a surprisingly small list. 1. The Mazda Miata. And 2 (or 2-3) the Toyota GR86/Subaru BRZ twins. And another thing we love – the […]
Road Test Review – 2025 Toyota Sequoia 1794 Edition
Toyota attempts to bring the Sequoia to the frontier with the Sequoia 1794 Edition. Is it enough to stand out from rivals? […]
Road Test Review – 2024 Lexus RX 500h F Sport Performance
Lexus promises flagship performance with 500h F-Sport Performance but is it all enough to make it a balanced package? […]
Road Test Review – 2025 Mazda CX-5 Carbon Edition
The Mazda CX-5 might feel like it’s being pushed out of the spotlight with the CX-50 and the bigger CX-90 filling the niches that it was once asked to fill by itself. However, the CX-5 is still a strong seller for Mazda and the CUV even has a strong following of customers who have stuck with the model despite broader changes in Mazda’s lineup. Mazda has decided to reward this loyalty […]
Review: The Chevrolet Blazer EV RS AWD Goes Big on Style, and Bigger on Mainstream Appeal
Those of us old enough to remember the ‘90s might remember Recycle Rex and his hit song: “Recycle, Reduce, Reuse, and Close the Loop.” It’s an earworm, to be sure, and it, alongside programs like Captain Planet, taught us it was cool to care about the environment. In the case of the song, though, it did so in the wrong way. Kind of. In later years—once recycling was no longer a novel concept—we’d […]
Road Test Review – 2024 Lexus NX 350h Luxury AWD
The venerable Lexus NX has been through its fair share of ups and downs but ultimately, it always manages to come up with a good run of good fortune with the compact CUV meant to give Lexus a middle-rung player slotted between the smaller UX and the iconic RX. Some would say that the NX is starting to lose its edge and that it’s starting to get soft around the edges. But is that the case? […]
2025 Mazda CX-50 Hybrid Premium Plus review by Ben Lewis
In the world of auto manufacturers, Mazda remains an independent voice. And you gotta love ‘em, they have stayed true to their vision of driving enjoyment – hey this is the Miata company! – and also have been moving the brand upscale at the same time. The only problem is, developing tech like EV, hybrid, and more is expensive and time consuming. And while EV’s seem to be on the back burner now, […]
Road Test Review – 2024 Mazda CX-50 Turbo Meridian Edition
The Mazda CX-50 has rapidly emerged as a key player in Mazda’s SUV strategy. While the bigger CX-90 often steals the spotlight due to its bigger size and segment-blurring luxury, the smaller CX-50 stands out for its strong value game which allows it to be a near-perfect balance of luxury, value, and capability. Mazda is hoping the CX-50 Turbo Meridian Edition will be able to deliver some […]
