2020 VW Atlas Cross Sport 2.0T Review – The turbo four is the one to have
Since the introduction of the Atlas and Tiguan, these two models now account for 53% of all Volkswagen US sales, so it makes sense to drop another one into this ever-expanding segment. With this in mind VW took the Atlas, removed the third row of…
2020 Toyota Highlander Hybrid Review -Unbelievably Efficient
I’ll be honest I had somewhat low expectations for the 2020 Toyota Highlander Hybrid since the total power dropped has from 306 to 243, in the name of efficiency, of course, but I had reservations. Fear not once I got behind the wheel of my…
2020 Toyota 86 Hakone Edition Review – It’s fun but it needs more power
I’m finding the 2020 Toyota 86 a bit baffling, given that it’s unique in its sector, with only its Subaru BRZ twin to compete with. It was launched back in 2012 to a huge fanfare (as the Scion FRS in the US) and everyone agreed…

2020 Volkswagen Passsat 2.0T SEL Review – New, but only from the outside
Volkswagen is taking a gamble with the 2020 The Volkswagen 2.0T in that it’s banking on being able to sell enough of them despite a rapidly shrinking sedan market. Bravo for still offering it but in the case of the US version, we are missing…
2020 Lexus GS F Review – A farewell to greatness
I’ve always liked the Lexus GS and especially the GS F even though it is a bit annoying, which I can easily overlook. Sadly, we found out this week that the GS will be no longer as Lexus plans to cut the nameplate from its…
