2018 BMW X2: Station wagon meets luxury, and it’s impressive
In almost every ad for the 2018 BMW X2, you’ll see the X2 bathed in this honey Dijon color that’s officially called Galvanic Gold Metallic, which, well, okay…. It’s a color that makes it easy to find in the Menards…
2018 Toyota Camry Hybrid isn’t (only) your grandmamma’s car: video review
The Toyota Camry has the reputation of being a boring car for old people. That’s disrespectful for both the car and older drivers. I think if you spent time with the 2018 Camry Hybrid, you’d agree this is no longer…
That’s so gay: 2018 Volkswagen Golf GTI is compact fun, sun, and vroom
I love driving the 2018 Volkswagen Golf GTI! This a spirited car that goes all over the country with a muscular 2.0-liter engine cranking out 220 horses. Few small cars can pull that off, much less do it well. The…
2018 Mitsubishi Outlander: The best Mitsubishi on the lot, and yet….
I can tell you unequivocally that the 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander is the best Mitsubishi you can buy this year. Starting at $24,000, it’s one of the least expensive (I did not say “cheap”) compact SUVs to offer three rows of…
2018 BMW 340i is like driving your buddy
When BMW first started talking about building “Ultimate Driving Machines”, they weren’t talking about three-row crossovers or exuberantly large luxury sedans. No, they were talking about cars like the 3-Series sedans–cars that could collect three friends, but remain loyal buddies…
First drive: 2019 Volkswagen Jetta has a new appeal which is just as charming as its old appeal
The Volkswagen Jetta has never been one of those ‘wow’ cars, and that’s been by design. It was always meant to be an average car for the average family who needed something average but with a kick to it–sorta like…
2018 Ford Edge: On the edge of glory
It’s not that cool to admit in motoring circles, but I do love a big SUV. I’m a big guy, and I need space! So, I was understandably thrilled to test out the new Ford Edge, Ford’s answer to the…
2018 Kia Stinger GT is a Porsche Panamera for the working class (too bad it’s not LGBT-friendly)
Editor’s note: Kia is the only major automaker in America that doesn’t offer benefits or protections for its LGBT employees. We encourage you to consider that when making your next car purchase. Four-door coupes are all the rage among Europe’s…
2018 Audi Q5 is one smooth operator…and full of gusto
It’s often not the wrapper, but what’s inside that counts. That’s not to say Audi doesn’t make some pretty suave wrappers, because it does. Following in the Bauhaus tradition, Audis are understated and elegant. But, it’s the brand’s exquisite interiors…
2018 Range Rover Velar is a most capable diesel-powered art gallery [video review]
When the original Range Rover launched in 1970, I doubt anybody thought of it as museum-quality design. I mean, it was a utilitarian vehicle for surveying one’s estate. But, when the body is stretched, slammed, and streamlined, it becomes art….
