2022 Chevrolet Trailblazer AWD RS Review – A stylish option in the crowded sub-compact space
We were supposed to get the 2022 Subaru Outback Wilderness but unfortunately, it got damaged in transit so Chevy very kindly stepped in and delivered a 2022 Chevrolet Trailblazer AWD RS. Not quite the hardcore off-road vehicle we were expecting but a car nonetheless. The…
2022 Volkswagen Taos SEL Review – A compelling little crossover
I’m a big fan of small cars and I especially liked the Golf Sportwagon until sadly it was discontinued which left something of a void in the VW US market lineup, that is, until now. Enter the 2022 Volkswagen Taos SEL FWD, which is not…
2021 Toyota Highlander XSE AWD Review – Adding a little sportiness to the mix
Three-row SUVs are very popular these days since they provide tons of space and family appeal which is why Toyota is offering an XSE version for the first time. The big question is does it offer any sportiness that usually accompanies the XSE badge? The…
2022 Lexus IS 500 F Sport Performance Review – Oozes soul from every pore
Since I tested the Lexus IS 350 F Sport 6 months ago I have been eagerly awaiting the arrival of the 2022 Lexus IS 500 F Sport Performance, which is a lot to say versus the 2008 ISF but no matter it’s here. It was…

2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Z71 Duramax Review – The diesel is the only engine you should get!
The 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is a good truck; however, it has to compete with the extremely capable and well-put-together Ram 1500 and the very good Ford F-150. True it’s very capable but has often been let down by a cheap-feeling interior, something that really…
2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon 4xe Review – A complicated Jeep
The 2021 Wrangler 4xe (it’s pronounced “four-by-E”) is Jeep’s first plug-in hybrid and it rather complicates your choices but does so in virtual silence as it wades through the toughest terrain. Typically, Jeeps have been anachronistic, with retro looks that date back to the 1940s…
2021 Toyota Avalon TRD Review An odd choice that actually works
The 2021 Toyota Avalon is not a car that you would think Toyota would choose to add the TRD package to; the Camry yes, this one no. After all the Avalon is better known for transporting its owners to an early bird dinner followed by…
2021 VW Atlas V6 SEL R Line Review Better looking, better tech
