2019 Kia Sorento SXL AWD

Sorento trims galore will fit all SUV lovers' budgets …  It had been a couple years and three model years since I’d driven Kia’s Sorento, its large SUV that aims to be a family hauler and has migrated, in top-end trim, to being a luxury vehicle. Luckily all the good stuff remains, including a standard... Continue Reading →

2019 Toyota Corolla Hatchback XSE

Corolla Hatch a practical sharp looker …  Back in the day I owned a Toyota Corolla, but then again, nearly everyone did at the time. The Corolla was to the 1980s what the Chevy Nova was to the 1970s, namely an inexpensive reliable car. While much has changed in the ensuing 35 or so years,... Continue Reading →

2018 Lexus RX350L

RX350L crossover Long on luxury …   Lexus may have invented the crossover craze with its original RX model that proved to be just what the doctor ordered for suburban America. Well, that has not changed all these years later as the RX continues to impress and sell like cream puffs at the Wisconsin State... Continue Reading →

2018 Range Rover HSE

Luxurious Rover HSE priced accordingly …   There is a certain absurdity, a collective curiosity when a vehicle costs more than $100,000. People look at you in one of two ways, either unbelieving or questioning your sanity to buy and drive such a vehicle. That’s not to say there aren’t plenty of people these days... Continue Reading →

2018 Infiniti QX80 4WD

Infiniti QX80, when only BIG will do …  Big counts for something sometimes and if you need to haul seven people, a big SUV is likely what you need, or a minivan. My son’s family was visiting so the Infiniti QX80 was a good bet for hauling us around southeast Wisconsin when grandparents, kids and... Continue Reading →

2019 Subaru Ascent Touring

Subaru's new Ascent  nails 7-passenger crossover market …  Subaru took a couple years off from the minivan/larger crossover market in an effort to get it right. The strategy worked, its new 2019 Ascent nails it. Rarely does a vehicle deliver fully what it promises and at a reasonable price. Ascent offers room for seven or... Continue Reading →

2019 Volkswagen Jetta SEL Premium

VW's new Jetta grows a tad, remains fun …   With cars like its compact Jetta and crossovers like its compact Tiguan, Volkswagen seems poised to rebound from a dreadful period brought on by its corporate diesel emission scandal, not poorly designed vehicles. This new 2019 Jetta SEL Premium (top-end model) is slightly larger than... Continue Reading →

2018 Mazda MX-5 Miata Club

Mazda MX-5 Miata stays atop its game …  Not much changes from year to year with Mazda’s MX-5, commonly known as a Miata, although there’s nothing common about this cute roadster. First, if you know what a Miata looked like when introduced 28 years ago, you’ve got a good idea of how sharp the new... Continue Reading →

2018 Lexus LC 500

Lexus LC 500 breathtaking to see, and drive … Forgive me while I catch my breath. I just spent a week driving, and drooling over, the new Lexus halo car, the LC 500. If looks could kill, we’d all be dead. Lexus has created the most striking looking car of the decade, and not surprisingly,... Continue Reading →

Die-cast: Replicarz’s 1927 Indy-winning Duesenberg

Souders' Duesenberg a gorgeous racer …  Replicarz, the Vermont-based die-cast car distributor, has been making an exclusive line of cast resin Indy 500 winners for years.  Lately it has turned its considerable attention to Indy-winning Duesenbergs from the 1920s. The cars won in 1924, 1925 and 1927 and the latest  1/18 scale beauty in the... Continue Reading →
