(January 6, 2025) After beginning life as the EX35 nearly two decades ago, the smallest SUV in the Infiniti portfolio assumed its current QX nameplate when the luxury division of the Japanese automaker Nissan revised nomenclature for its Infiniti fleet. Beginning in 2014, “Q” has designated sedans, coupes, and convertibles with “QX” denoting Infiniti’s SUV fleet.

(January 5, 2025) It's been more than 14 years since the Infiniti flagship QX80 SUV has received a complete update — an incredibly long time between generations, which in a majority of vehicle nameplates comes every five or six years. The all-new 2024 QX80 marks only the third iteration of the big family hauler since its inception in 2004 when it wore the QX56 moniker.

(December 29, 2024) It’s not difficult to find a peppy turbocharged crossover.  It’s also not hard to find one that’s affordable.  And, there are a plethora of luxury models from all the fancy brands.  However, it’s not particularly easy to find all three in one package like the 2025 Buick Encore GX Avenir.

(December 22, 2024) When a carmaker takes a really good product — well received over its first three years of existence — and adds nearly 50 percent more gas mileage without losing any performance and usability, than I say that carmaker has hit a home run. Kia has done just that with 2025 Carnival minivan by adding a hybrid variant rated at 34 mpg city, 31 highway and 33 combined.

(December 15, 2024) It's amazing that the Jaguar F-Type drew more attention from onlookers than any of the new stuff I've driven in the past year. Admiring glances were not in short supply during my week behind the wheel of  2024 F-Type convertible, and conversations over the gorgeous two-seat sports car were more than I've become used to since the eighth-generation Corvette landed in my driveway several years ago.

(December 8, 2024) The latest iteration of the Land Rover Defender was launched in September 2019 as a 2020 model, the first all-new Defender since it was discontinued in 2016. The modern Defender was originally introduced in 1983 as the Land Rover One Ten — which was renamed the Defender in 1990. The Defender — going back to the dark ages — is actually a descendant of the original Series Land Rovers conceived 76 years ago in 1948.

(December 2, 2024) Chevrolet’s use of the Blazer nameplate dates back to the late 1960s and the vehicle itself has gone through many incarnations since debuting as a pickup truck for the 1969 model year before eventually morphing into the familiar SUV we know today.
