When I first set eyes on the Mazda CX-50, I was a little bit puzzled. Instead of the graceful, fluidic styling lines I’m used to from Mazda, the CX-50 is more squared off. Beefier looking.

July 19th, 2022 at 2:13pm
On the face of it there really is no comparison between the RS3 and Integra A-Spec. Yes, they’re both 4-door sport sedans. But the Audi sits at the top of the segment in price and performance while the Acura is at the entry level. Even so, both cars have virtues that can appeal to the same customer cohort—depending on how they drive them.

June 27th, 2022 at 3:12pm
Kia hit a home run with the Telluride and is well on the way towards changing public opinion about the brand.

With gasoline prices soaring sky high, I was grateful to get to test drive the plug-in version of the Chrysler Pacifica for a week. It doesn’t have much all-electric range, only about 32 miles.
