Auto Review: 2026 Nissan Frontier Pro-4X

If I had to get a truck, I would opt for a midsize. Easier to park and I really don't haul a lot of things. And I would pimp it out with a big engine, big tires, and good

Auto Review: 2026 Chevy Suburban High Country

Could be the largest vehicle on the road right now. 6.2L V8 engine. 3 rows. Massive. Luxurious. Tech. Potentially larger than your living room. Listen to my full review

Auto Review: 2026 GMC Acadia Denali Ultimate

GMC didn't add "Denali Ultimate" for marketing purposes. They mean it. The fanciest and most expensive Acadia ever made. Leather and massaging seats. Super Cruise. 3 rows

Auto Review: 2026 Toyota RAV4 PHEV GR Sport

Toyota's RAV4 has long been a solid SUV that can handle a bit off-roading and a good load of people and gear. The PHEV version can add almost 50 miles of electric range

Auto Review: Volkswagen Tiguan SEL R-Line Turbo

I don't get the opp to test drive a lot of VW vehicles so this was tough to compare with previous Tiguan models. But the upgrades with this badge give it a good amount o

Auto Review: 2026 Cadillac Optiq V-Series

EVs are fast. There is a reason the Cadillac uses the letter V for it's high-end badging on the Optiq. It stands for Very fast. Not really (Velocity max) but this electr

Auto Review: 2026 Genesis G70 3.3T Prestige Graphite

This particular upgraded version of the G70 is a mouthful but Genesis put its money where their mouth is. A sexy and fast sedan with luxury features and a fast motor wil

Auto Review: 2026 GMC Sierra EV Denali Max Range

An EV pickup truck that is quiet enough for a phone call, fast enough to embarrass muscle cars, can tow up to 12,500 lbs, and has more comfy features than my house. Chec

Auto Review: 2026 Nissan Frontier Pro-4X

I personally prefer mid-size trucks instead of the larger boys. Easier to park and handle, plus I don't haul a lot of things where I need a full-size. So the new Pro-4X

Auto Review: 2026 GMC Yukon AT4 Ultimate

Are you kidding me? 17 ft long and 5,500 lbs? This is an apartment on wheels; decorated and as comfy as a private jet. GMC's top of the line Yukon has space, tech, and

Auto Review: 2027 Kia Telluride X-Pro

A three-row SUV that feels premium and can handle a bit off-roading? Yes, please. And nice job by Kia for the new design and upgrades. Listen here for my full review as

Auto Review: 2026 Alfa Romeo Tonale Speciale

Fun and entertaining. Those words could describe me :) but also for this Italian-made SUV. Certainly sporty with nimble handling, the Tonale makes driving a pleasure with

Auto Review: 2026 Nissan Sentra SL

Yes, sedans still exist. And Nissan continues to up its game with the Sentra. The SL version adds some very nice touches yet the price remains relatively low for what you

Auto Review: 2026 Jeep Cherokee Laredo Limited

After 3 years, the Cherokee is back and it's a hybrid. Very good mileage - certainly for an AWD - and a decent price for a CUV from this venerable brand. Listen to my fu

Auto Review: 2026 Nissan Armada NISMO

It's like taking a big SUV and pumping it up with Red Bull. 460hp packed under the hood with Nissan's NISMO badging. If you're looking for a bad ass, big boy that is pack

Auto Review: 2026 K4 Hatchback GT-Line Turbo

A hatchback? Yep. A hatchback. Kia's K4 (originally the Forte) has gone through some new body styles and this version is a low-riding, sleep, compact SUV-type of ride. L

Auto Review: 2026 Nissan Murano Platinum

Nissan really did it this time. A home run. An honesty great vehicle here, as the Platinum version adds a number of luxury features. Decent price that can easily be your

Auto Review: 2026 GMC Sierra EV AT4 Max Range

Probably the longest name of any vehicle I have reviewed but it was worth it. A luxury truck with a range of almost 500 miles? Could be the first EV that I would consider

Auto Review: 2026 Kia Sportage PHEV X-Line Prestige

That's a long name for a compact SUV but Kia does a nice job mixing in comfort, tech, and very good mileage with this model. Listen to my full review as heard on "The Hi
