(May 9, 2023) The Honda Accord is as familiar along the American roadside as Mc Donald’s and Starbucks. It should be as it’s been America’s best-selling car over the last 50 years. Now for 2023 Accord gets redesigned, it’s sleeker outside, has a more high-tech interior yet isn’t the type of car that will turn heads or have anyone follow you home to ask you what it is you’re driving.

In recognition and celebration, Dodge will do what it has always done best and that’s introduce special editions. In the case of the Challenger, it’s seven special new edition Challengers throughout the 2023 model year beginning with “Shakedown.”

(May 2, 2023) Back in 1998 Lexus introduced its first RX crossover utility vehicle in the United States just two years after Mercedes introduced their first-generation ML SUV. The RX met with immediate sales success climbing right to the top of the sales charts’ much to the surprise of the German auto maker who had a two-year head start.

(April 26, 2023) Even though I’ve personally never owned one I’ve always fancied myself a “Porsche guy” – as distinct from being a “Mercedes guy.” Although I’ve driven and reviewed plenty of both over the years, there’s something about the image of the cars I could only imagine myself driving — the Benz is a bit, you know, garish. The AMG SL has not changed my mind on this matter, exactly. But man, on man, what a magnificently brutal, heart-pounding thrill ride.

(April 25, 2023) If you’ve been paying attention, you probably already know that Genesis is building some of the most impressive luxury vehicles in the industry today. It should come as no surprise, then, that the Electrified GV70 driven here is nothing short of excellent.
