2025 Toyota GR86 Hakone Edition review by Ben Lewis

by

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 manufacturers here could pretty much sit back on their laurels and sell these great cars without bothering to touch ‘em. But they don’t. Mazda and Toyota/Subaru (Toybaru?) consistently …

We live in interesting times. Two years ago when we tested the 2023 GR Corolla, it seemed like the internal combustion engine was on the way out, and for performance, you’d be looking at EVs like the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N.

2025 Toyota Camry XSE Review by Ben Lewis

by

We don’t know what’s in the water cooler at Toyota, but we like it! Lately, Toyota has been on a roll with some exciting stylish vehicles – and some of them in the most surprising places. Take the all-new Prius, it’s gorgeous! Yes, a prius. And the new Land Cruiser; going back to a classic squared-off look that’s retro yet amazing. So, we can’t say we’re stunned that the carmaker did a major refresh on the Camry, but when you consider that it’s the best-selling sedan for the last 22 years, you’ve got to admire the moxie to mix things …
