The Ford Mustang has truly been one of America’s iconic cars for the past 54 years. And with a purposeful new redesign three years ago, there’s little doubt that the Mustang has picked up some additional admirers.

2018 Nissan Armada redesign a hit
Historically, changes have not been part of the playbook for the Nissan Armada. Too many years Nissan decided to stay put instead of making alterations on its full-size sport utility vehicle. And by doing nothing, Nissan was also doing nothing to grow its Armada sales. From 2004 to 2007 Nissan sold between approximately 31,600 to […]

2018 Lexus GX570 luxurious SUV
What most drivers will like about the 2018 Lexus LX570 is the combination of gracious around-town capability and its ability to go off-road in rugged winter conditions. That’s not something many large sport utility vehicles can offer these days. There’s no substitute for the feeling of safety when navigating a snowy, icy road, or driving […]

2018 Genesis G90: Luxury sedan, reasonable price
The goal was to establish a luxury brand, so the folks at Hyundai decided the most simplistic way to begin the process was by not creating anything entirely new. Why do that when the Korean automaker could just mirror its first two high-end vehicles, a pair of well-received sedans that were part of its regular […]
2018 Mazda CX-3: Subcompact SUV or hatchback?
My first thought after seeing the 2018 Mazda CX-3: Is this really a sport utility vehicle? It looks more like a tall hatchback than a subcompact SUV. The CX-3 is comparable to the highly praised CX-5 SUV, but it’s is definitely not a smaller version of Mazda’s compact SUV. Is there a strategy behind Mazda […]
