(December 17, 2023) In a prior life, the Buick Envista that debuts as a 2024 model might have been dubbed a hatchback coupe. But in keeping with company’s vehicle E-style nomenclature Buick prefers to call it a crossover SUV,  joining compacts Envision and Encore GX and the mid-size Enclave in the company’s North American portfolio.

(December 17, 2023) Back in the day (that would be my day) it was known as a sleeper. Built within the envelope of an anonymous sedan, its owner/builder would cram as much performance under the hood as the engine compartment could accommodate, but instead of advertising the installation with as many fire-breathing cosmetics as the cash-strapped owner could gather, he left it visually stock.

(December 15, 2023) After being wowed by the completely redesigned Nissan Pathfinder when introduced for the 2022 model year, the Japanese automaker introduced a rugged off-road edition "Rock Creek" for 2023, and just this week we were able to test the 2024 edition that brings real differences to the game, not just with a rugged appearance.

2024 Ford Mustang GT



PHOENIX — Just recently, Ford introduced an all-new seventh generation Ford Mustang as a 2024 model. To say I'm a bit surprised isn't much of a reach. Against all odds and in the face of a consumer onslaught of buying trucks, SUVs, and fully electric vehicles, the top brass in Dearborn remains convinced that a goodly number of Americans still aspire to what a Mustang offers.

(December 10, 2023) Just recently, Ford introduced an all-new seventh generation Ford Mustang as a 2024 model. To say I'm a bit surprised isn't much of a reach. Against all odds and in the face of a consumer onslaught of buying trucks, SUVs, and fully electric vehicles, the top brass in Dearborn remains convinced that a goodly number of Americans still aspire to what a Mustang offers — a car that has looks to die for, tire shredding high-performance, mellifluous exhaust notes that would be the preferred headphone soundtrack when getting an MRI, and all at a price tag that won't necessitate a second job.

(December 10, 2023) Jeep will soon introduce production versions of the all-electric Wagoneer S and Recon concepts.  However, I suspect there are more than a few Jeep traditionalists who are open to electrification, but given the difficulty in finding plugs en-route, aren’t quite ready to go all-in.  For them, the plug-in 2024 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 4xe bridges the trail between gas and electric.

(November 12, 2023) The vast majority of pickup truck buyers today are what's called "never-never" truck owners — never tow, never haul, but seek the tireless experience and unique takeaways from driving one on a daily basis. Likewise, not everybody needs an oversized half-ton pickup thus there are the masses who opt to buy an easier-to-drive and park midsize with nearly all the convenience of a larger truck.
