(September 19, 2021) It's not hard to see that automotive electrification is moving at full speed ahead when even the iconic king of the off-road Jeep Wrangler can now be purchased with an electric motor. Holy Cow! But it's true and it wears the name Jeep Wrangler 4xe.

(July 29, 2021) We proclaimed the Mazda CX-30 one of the best subcompact SUV crossovers on the market when we reviewed it for 2020. We wrote that while it looks like everything else in a Mazda showroom with clean lines, nice proportions and with a coupe-like silhouette, the CX-30 brings the sophistication of a more expensive car with a solid structure, an energetic engine, secure handling, a classy and quiet premium-looking interior, and a load of safety equipment.
