A stranger approached me in a golf course parking lot this summer, saying he had never heard of the attractive sedan I was driving. From our perspective, it was a welcome-to-the-club moment.

Painted Black – Jeep Grand Wagoneer Obsidian
If black happens to be an attractive color when shopping for a large luxury sport utility vehicle, then the 2022 Grand Wagoneer Obsidian is a must see. This is an SUV that is decked out in black. Its huge 22-inch wheels come with black inserts. There’s also black badging, black exterior mirrors and window trim, […]
Ford Mustang Mach-E solid EV
There are multiple choices awaiting if one decides on purchasing the relatively new 2022 Ford Mustang Mach-E. The Mach-E is a stylish all-electric sport utility vehicle. Rear-wheel drive versions of the Mach-E have a single electric motor mounted at the rear axle and AWD models have one motor in front and another in the rear. […]
2022 Chevy Blazer features new turbo engine
Sleek and stylish, the 2022 Chevy Blazer draws comparisons to the iconic Chevy Camaro, one of the original muscle cars when it came out in 1966.

The Discovery is ruggedly handsome and when its equipped properly, can be a real force in off-road situations. It comes standard with a sliding front sunroof and a fixed rear […]
Chevy Equinox solid compact SUV
Just being average is simply not good enough in this highly competitive class. However, that doesn’t mean success can’t be achieved in terms of sales. Although it remains a notch or even two behind the class leaders like the Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4, Ford Escape, and Mazda CX-5, the Chevy Equinox can point to the […]

Plenty upside 2022 Mercedes GLS 450
It’s difficult to find a legitimate flaw with the 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLS, a full-size, three-row luxury sport utility vehicle that seats seven passengers. It’s a behemoth for sure, weighing between 5,467 to 5,798 pounds and capable of towing up to 7,500 pounds (with an optional trailer hitch). Despite its size, we found during our week […]
