The American market has clearly different tastes when it comes to cars and there are idiosyncrasies that for me at least, don’t make sense. Europeans love the Golf, hatchbacks are cool, the Americans apparently don’t like hatchbacks and instead buy crossovers (which incidentally have hatchbacks) instead.  The Europeans didn’t like

The S5 is the five you really want The 2020 Audi S5 Sportback is, without a doubt, a real looker, and from all angles…..it’s striking, sharply styled, and as a bonus has some impressively detailed engineering under the skin. There are 3 flavors of 5, starting at the lower end

The new Encore GX is much better effort than the tiny Encore We tested the Buck Encore last year and found it to be a comfortable crossover that was short on space and was odd looking thanks to a really short wheelbase. GM really needed a bigger crossover to fill

The 2020 Lexus UX200 is neither fast nor sporting but it is luxurious and makes a convincing little urban crossover for the slightly well-heeled.  The UX is essentially a Toyota underneath, using the same underpinnings as the C-HR only it has the 2.0 engine from the Toyota Corolla. The other

I must be honest I’ve never really been a fan of hybrids in general but having spent the week with a 2020 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid my mind has been changed. The gas version is good, it has 203 hp but there are only 184 ft-lbs of torque available at a

We were supposed to get the 2020 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited EcoDiesel for a week but unfortunately things didn’t go exactly to plan. Our Hellayella tester looked great though and I had been anxiously awaiting a drive in the new EcoDiesel, essentially a slightly de-tuned version that is in the Ram
