2021 Nissan Rogue Platinum

New Rogue evolves back to top of market ... For the past century plus 20 or so years the auto market has seen fits and starts of revolution, but a whole lot of evolution.

2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E Premium AWD

Electric Mustang Mach-E a fine crossover, not a Mustang ...

2021 Nissan Kicks SR

Cute new Nissan Kicks up a lot of value ... Car makers competing in the entry-level market, meaning less than $25,000, are working harder and harder to get some notice as value doesn’t sell as well as BIG anything does.

2021 Volvo XC60 Recharge T8 Inscription

Plug-in hybrid XC60 a looker and performer ...  A few years back I tested Volvo’s smallish mid-size crossover, the XC60, and was swept clean out of my cross-trainers. At the time, most crossovers were blah lookers and ho-hum performers, but today’s market is moving, as they always seem to, toward performance, and yet smaller carbon... Continue Reading →
