2022 Mercedes-Benz EQB300 4Matic

EV puts a spark in new electric EQB wagon, er, crossover ... Automakers are doing buyers no favors with their insistence on introducing nonsensical alphabet soup when “naming” their vehicles.

Fun stuff: Autocrossing my 22 Jeep Compass

And I didn't embarrass myself too much What do a Subaru WRX, BMW M340 X-Drive, Audi S4, and Jeep Compass all have in common? I know, not much, but they all competed this past Saturday in the Road America Winter Autocross Series presented by David Hobbs Honda. My Jeep (left) waiting for my turn. On... Continue Reading →

Car Spot: the Buick Reatta

GM's other two-seater Did you know that with the exception of Oldsmobile, all of GM's passenger-car divisions offered two-seaters during the late 1980s and early 1990s? There was Chevrolet Corvette, Pontiac Fiero, Cadillac Allante, and this week's car spot, the Buick Reatta. I think it's a cool-looking car but America didn't. Introduced in 1988, the Buick Reatta...

2023 Volvo XC90 Recharge AWD Ultimate: Bright Theme

Plug-in hybrid XC90 long on luxury, power, efficiency ... Apparently it’s time for me to adjust my thinking on where luxury SUV prices begin and end, especially end.

Car Spot: A Bathtub Nash

America's first adventure car before there were SUVs This spot brought back flashbacks for me when I spotted it on a lot/salvage yard because we had one as a kid, a 1950 Bathtub Nash.

Car Spot: Bentley S1

Looks like a Rolls Royce but it's not So I pull up to grab some beer at a local convenience store and right next to me is this cool-looking Rolls, or I thought it was until I spotted the Bentley B on it. An image search shows it being a Bentley S1, this week's car... Continue Reading →
