2021 Toyota Sienna now hybrid only
After seven consecutive years of brisk sales, interest in the Toyota Sienna has gradually declined the past three years, a fate that has befallen many in the once-popular minivan class. Times are tough for all minivans. Even the top-rated Honda Odyssey had a down year in 2020 with sales of 83,409, its worse total since […]
2022 Honda Civic better than ever
The 2022 Honda Civic looks a bit different and travels a little faster than this year’s model.

Honda Ridgeline no average truck
Since its inception 16 years ago, the Honda Ridgeline has always been different, so different that many traditional truck lovers won’t even give it consideration. Its longtime calling card remains this: it’s a truck for people who really don’t like owning a truck. The Ridgeline drives more like an SUV than a traditional truck. That’s […]
Lexus RX 350 popular SUV
Lexus doesn’t make the decision an easy one when it comes to purchasing one of its midsize sport utility vehicles, the RX brand. The 2021 RX 350 test driven here appeals to folks who want a traditional gas-powered luxury SUV. But it’s worth some additional time to consider other versions of the RX. There’s also […]
Hyundai Venue solid new SUV
Sometimes we wonder about the reasoning behind the introduction of new vehicles. The Hyundai Venue is a classic example.

However, Hyundai already had a fine subcompact SUV – the affordable and attractive Kona was unveiled in 2018. Kona […]
