There’s so much to like about the all-new 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 that it’s hard to decide where to start. We expect the electric compact crossover sport utility vehicle to quickly rise in stature.

2018 Kia Stinger a nice line-up addition
The latest addition to the Kia lineup resembles nothing that the South Korean auto manufacturer has ever produced in its 44-year history. It came as quite the surprise to see Kia step out of normal conservative shell and produce the Stinger, a midsize, four-door hatchback that looks terrific and offers fantastic performance. The 2018 Kia […]
2018 Lexus GX570 luxurious SUV
What most drivers will like about the 2018 Lexus LX570 is the combination of gracious around-town capability and its ability to go off-road in rugged winter conditions.

Subaru Forester: Reliable compact SUV
Like any Subaru vehicle, there’s nothing flashy about the Forester, a compact crossover sport utility vehicle with a boxy exterior that’s very straight forward. The Forester is a no-frills SUV that embraces Subaru’s practical approach to auto making. People searching for a high-tech interior and more engaging on-road manners should look elsewhere. The 2016 Subaru […]
Honda Odyssey remains top-of-line minivan
When the search is on for a “people hauler,” many folks select the minivan as the smart choice. They have three rows and can accommodate eight people with relative comfort, assuming not all the passengers are adults. A longtime favorite of the mommy brigade, which typically has the assignment of car-pooling kids to school, soccer […]
