Seemingly a good idea nearly two decades ago by parent company Toyota, nevertheless the Scion brand lived a short life. However, the Scion legacy lives on. Evidence of that is the rebadged 2022 Toyota GR86. It was originally marketed in 2013 as the Scion FR-S, which had a hasty exit, lasting four years and being […]

Mercedes-AMG GT53 performance-laden
When searching for a luxury vehicle to purchase, Mercedes-Benz has historically been a great option. It has name recognition and backs it up with high-class automobiles.

2022 Chevy Blazer features new turbo engine
Sleek and stylish, the 2022 Chevy Blazer draws comparisons to the iconic Chevy Camaro, one of the original muscle cars when it came out in 1966. Personally, we don’t see any major similarities between the modern-day Blazer and the Camaro. While we like the exterior look of the Blazer that includes a large front grille, […]

Kia has introduced a new electric vehicle and it’s a good one. Meet the 2022 Kia EV6, a compact crossover SUV that made its U.S. debut this February in all 50 states.
