2017 Toyota Highlander Hybrid Ltd. Platinum

Highlander Hybrid excels at moving people, things ... A road trip to Louisville with a couple buddies, and plenty of cargo, proved Toyota’s Highlander Hybrid to be a perfect transport choice.

2017 Volvo S60 T5 AWD Dynamic

Volvo S60 OK, but doesn't distinguish itself ... Volvo’s S60 is a fine, but underwhelming, compact, entry-level luxury car. The S60 is nice looking and has all-wheel-drive, which will make it more useful to drivers in northern climes. It performs well, although its ride is rough, yet nothing really stands out.

1932 Packard's beauty shines through in resin model ... You know you’re mature when you remember seeing Packards for sale at the corner used car lots and driving around the neighborhood, and mine was not a ritzy area.
