The 2019 Toyota C-HR has fun factor appeal
The 2019 Toyota C-HR is in its second year. At first glance, you are instantly reminded of the Nissan Juke but the C-HR is a bit funkier. It is a bulbous, tall/small vehicle that is sharply angled and steeply raked…
2019 Mazda MX-5 Miata RF: This Sportster may cause a riff in your marriage
Just to be clear, this is the car your BETTER half advises you not to get. It’s small: there are only two seats, and they are cramped. There is barely enough room for your thoughts; just look at that trunk, or…
2019 Toyota Corolla Hatch Has A Bottle Rocket In Its Pocket
Toyota has always built great cars, but they’ve rarely been engaging, stylish, and a hoot to wail down the road. High quality? Yes! Fun to drive? No, not really. The Supra and Celica have been exceptions, and so was the…
2019 Lexus UX200 Is Not Ugly
“That car is the ugliest thing I’ve ever seen!” I didn’t hear that. I said it – when I first saw photos of the Lexus UX compact crossover. I seriously thought an F-117A stealth fighter copulated with a Toyota C-HR…

2019 VW GTI Flies Like A Rabbit
A rabbit is a rascally creature, able to accelerate, turn, jump, and cuddle its bunnies virtually simultaneously. It can park its tail almost anywhere, bulks up for winter, and really enjoys summers when it can run free with abandon. Back…
The 2019 Kia K900 Will Give You LIFE!
After experiencing the 2019 Kia K900, I had to ponder why the sedan is so very seldom seen on the road? Why are folks falling asleep on the Korean luxury sedan? Sales figures in the U.S. last year for the…
The 2020 Subaru Legacy Debuts at The Chicago Auto Show
One of our favorite brands made the biggest splash at the 2019 Chicago Auto Show. We know Subaru for our love of the Outback, Forester, and Crosstrek. Some of us may own Imprezas and even WRXs and BRZs. But, how…
2019 Volvo S60 R-Design Sports Out America
If it’s a Volvo, it’s safe. That’s a given, but Volvos often looked like the cargo containers in which they crossed over from Sweden. Well, Volvos no longer look like boring boxes…and not all come from Sweden. Want proof? Check…
