Turbo CX-5 a sporty compact crossover with a Soul (red) ... Mazda has a winner with its CX-5 compact crossover so it’s no surprise it hasn’t changed drastically in the three years since I’d tested it.

2022 Genesis GV70 3.5T Sport Prestige

A new ute that Bond, James Bond, could love ... If James Bond were to drive a crossover/SUV (and I pray he doesn’t … ever) I’m convinced it would be a Genesis GV70, just for its looks.
