(February 18, 2022) It's hard to believe that the first Prius came on the market 25 years ago in 1997. The basic premise of the vehicle has remained the same but the current model is light years ahead of the original one. The Prime version of the Prius is a plug-in hybrid model that has a fuel economy rating of 54 city and 133 highway MPG. To get those astronomical highway numbers requires you to plug in the car to fully charge the battery.  During my somewhat rambunctious test driving, I averaged about 66 miles per gallon in a week.

(February 13, 2022) The fifth-generation 2022 Subaru WRX is a feisty little sedan that puts immense fun into the daily driving experience. The 2022 WRX is all an all-new model retaining Subaru's successful formula of a potent turbocharged flat four engine powering all four wheels in a compact four-door configuration. It comes with a new eye-catching exterior design and a modern interior with updated technology and a large tablet-style infotainment screen.

(February 8, 2022) For 2022, Mitsubishi has an all-new Outlander, its fourth generation which thankfully has almost nothing in common with the outgoing Outlander. For the first time in memory, Outlander finally has some attractive styling and elements of substance, along with an extremely good looking interior and intuitive tech features to finally attract attention in the highly competitive compact crossover segment.

(February 6, 2022) When Chevrolet reworked its top-selling Silverado pickup in 2019 it did a lot of good things to keep the Chevy faithful in the fold while attracting new buyers to the brand — upgrading the truck with a new body and frame, creating 20 percent more cargo space, increasing maximum payload capacity by 14 percent, upping max towing capacity by 5 percent, and creating user-friendly gauges and controls.

(January 30, 2022) The Hyundai Tucson compact crossover has been a perennial best seller for Hyundai, but it has encountered a difficult time making inroads against such rivals as the Honda CR-V, Nissan Rogue and Toyota RAV4. That may change with the all-new fourth generation Tucson. The 2022 model is larger creating adult-sized passenger space in the second row, it has a striking new exterior design highlighted by a head-turning grille, and it gets significantly more gas mileage with two new hybrid variants.

(January 23, 2022) If you don't get it right the first time, the best course of action is to step back, re-evaluate and make improvements. Then start again with a fresh set of ideas. That's what the designers and engineers at GMC did with the Sierra. The latest-generation Sierra was introduced in 2019, but customers found its design and technology fell short of the Ram pickup, and even the Ford F-150 before Ford's all-new 2021 truck arrived.

(January 16, 2021) Although it has grown old in a sea of new, tech-infused mid-sized sport utility vehicles, the Jeep Grand Cherokee has continued to sell quite well. Old in terms of the automotive industry is more than five years, and the outgoing Grand Cherokee has gone 11 long years without a complete redesign. For that reason, the two-row fourth-generation Grand Cherokee has finally been replaced with an all-new redesigned model that catches up with the rest of the segment in design, technology, interior comforts and drivability.
