(September 27, 2024) Many of us would love to drive a Bentley Bentayga luxury crossover, but virtually none of us will ever rise to a station in life to afford one.  Its big mesh grille, gleaming headlamps, chiseled bodysides, and giant wheels convey a sense of presence and potential.  While I completely get it is no Bentley, the 2025 Genesis GV80 has just a touch of that panache to make you feel and look special.

(September 27, 20240 WASHINGTON, D.C. — The national average for a gallon of gas wobbled by a few cents before ending up where it started a week ago at $3.22. Pump prices have been sliding recently, but the rapid intensification of Hurricane Helene appears to be having an effect.

(September 23, 2024) Kia has set a goal of filling its electric vehicle portfolio with 11 new models by 2026, and early indications are the move toward Benjamin Franklin’s discovery of “electrical fire” is paying off. The South Korean automaker credited its new electrified vehicles as spurring record-setting sales for the company in August. EVs, or more precise BEVs, showed an increase of 27 percent over the same period as last year.
