Ford Bronco Wildtrak — A fierce off-road superstar



Can the Bronco stand up to the Jeep
Wrangler Rubicon? — Here's our pick

(September 6, 2023) It seems since Ford reintroduced the Bronco — the highly capable SUV that combines on-road practicality with go anywhere terrain capability, open-top fun, and a "must have" retro look — it has become the most talked about darling of new vehicles. But now in its fourth year, there's still a waiting list should you decide to spec one out the way you want it and order it from the factory. You will be asked to comply with an acknowledgement that because of high demand and global supply chain constraints, not all models and trims or features are available to order.

Chevrolet Equinox RS — Sporty and practical



By Casey Williams

(September 3, 2023) My family tends to buy the same car over and over again – especially if it’s a good one.  My 92-year-old grandmother drives a full-size GM sedan, just as she has since the 1950s.  My other grandmother went through a sequence of Mercedes during more than three decades.  After driving two Chevy Equinox crossovers, want to guess what my parents bought?  Yep, another Equinox.  Given my time with the updated 2024 Equinox RS, I find little argument with their choice.

(August 27, 2023) It has been Buick's best-selling nameplate for several years so it stands to reason that the brand's designers were given the task of making a mid-cycle refresh look, well, really refreshing. The front of the small Encore GX crossover SUV has been restyled to the point that a casual overseer could easily think the car has been given a ground-up redesign. It's a good move to keep would-be buyers — especially owners of an older Encore GX — to consider a new Encore when when vehicle shopping.

(July 30, 2023) The compact crossover SUV segment — both luxury and mainstream — has been on fire in recent years accounting for millions of sales. This is good news for Subaru, which has two popular vehicles in that segment — the Forrester and the Crosstrek. And the Crosstrek arrives for 2024 completely redesigned.

2024 Chevrolet Trax



PHOENIX — All-new for 2024 the Chevrolet Trax — the brand's new entry-level model now that the Spark has been discontinued — is larger, much better looking inside and out, less expensive and surprisingly a bit larger than the Trailblazer, Chevy's other small compact SUV. The previous Trax ended production after the 2022 model year, and there is no 2023 Trax model rather just jumping to 2024 for the Korean built sub-compact crossover.

(June 4, 2023) An inline 6-cylinder engine in a Mazda? Very strange, indeed.  And the powertrain is not the only unusual thing with the all-new three-row 2024 CX-90 that replaces the aging CX-9 at the top of the Mazda food chain. It's the biggest crossover Mazda has ever built, and it can be configured for up to eight passengers. And another thing — the CX-90 is rear-wheel biased with full-time all-wheel drive standard.

2024 Subaru Impreza



PASO ROBLES, Calif. — Spring has finally come to California wine country and I’m clipping through tight two-lane roads through vineyards and wineries around Paso Robles.  I’m doing my best to keep eyes on the road, but the greenery and mountains are simply magical.  Yet, the roads and this car demand attention lest I end up a visitor center lawn ornament.  As invigorating is the drive, this little hatchback could just as easily take Miles and Maisey to cello lessons.  I’m driving the completely redesigned 2024 Subaru Impreza RS.
