Road Test Review – 2025 Volkswagen GTI Autobahn
When Volkswagen said that it was axing the manual transmission from the GTI, it felt like the end of an era. While the GTI has evolved over the past few decades, the manual transmission has always been a reliable partner for the model and stuck with it through the good times and the bad times. However, Volkswagen thinks that it has offered a decent trade-off for buyers in the form of better […]
2025 Volkswagen ID. Buzz review by Ben Lewis
This week we were celebrities. Well, at least we felt like one. When you’re driving the new VW ID. Buzz you get a lot of attention, and it’s almost universally positive. Everyone seems to love it. Do we? Let’s find out! Retro Futuristic The Good Vibes start with the ID.’s cool exterior. And it’s one that got constant thumbs-up, peace signs (so 60’), Shaka’s (Aloha to you!) and loads of questions […]
Road Test Review – 2025 Lincoln Aviator Black Label
Lincoln is a brand that has gone all in on SUVs with the luxury brand kicking sedans and other types of vehicles to the curb as it attempts to lure in buyers who were more than happy to go to rivals like Cadillac, Land Rover, and Lexus during the dark days of the brand where they were admittedly far from being a top contender in its class. One of these models is the 2025 Lincoln Aviator an SUV […]
2025 Lexus LX 700h Overtrail review by Ben Lewis
Remember the original Toyota Prius? It pretty much coined the term Hybrid for the automotive world. And for a long time, that meant so-so performance and sparkling fuel economy. Along the way, Toyota improved performance along the way, and vehicles like the Toyota RAV4 Prime were one of the fastest Toyota’s ever, and of course, still had great fuel numbers. Oh and the new Prius is a stunner, too! […]
Road Test Review – 2025 Lexus TX 500h F-Sport
Alphanumeric nameplates have become as abundant as letters in a big bowl of soup with many automakers choosing to use them over traditional names which is bad news for folks who remember a time when iconic monikers like Camaro, Town Car, and others were regular sights on U.S. roads. This trend is not going away anytime soon, and Lexus is aiming to take full advantage with the 2025 Lexus TX 500h […]
2025 Toyota Sienna Platinum review by Ben Lewis
It’s interesting to see how the attitudes over minivans have changed over the years. At first, they were loved for the space and practicality, especially among those with families. Then, as SUVs got popular, the van got pushed back as being un-hip, un-cool. But don’t feel too bad, because there is still a loyal following for the loyal family transpo…and they continue to get better all the time. […]
First Look – 2025 Toyota 4Runner – An Icon Reborn
When Toyota embarked on updating the 4Runner for 2025, the company knew it had a lofty task on its hands. The outgoing 4Runner had its roots in the early 2000s but it managed to amass a cult following that demanded perfection and eventually demanded that Toyota make updates to the aging SUV. The 2025 model promises to build on these building blocks and enhance many of the things that customers […]
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. […]

Good Looks The ES 350 starts its presentation with handsome lines and an attention to […]
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 […]
