Honest car reviews both big and small
Savage names his top vehicles, the annual Zoomie Awards ... Zoomie art by Stuart Carlson Last year’s Zoomies were all about monster speed and power, this year’s are all about hybrids, high value and family fare. That’s OK though, because that’s where most of us live. While I was testing new Corvettes, Challengers, BMWs, Mercedes,... Continue Reading →
Ford's hybrid F-150 SuperCrew is all the pickup a person can use ... Driving the new Ford F-150 SuperCrew Lariat was like déjà vu all over again. Doesn’t happen often, but I got to test drive the new hybrid version of Ford’s most popular (in fact North America’s most popular) vehicle for a second time... Continue Reading →
Hybrid power, interior comfort and awesome MPG = winner! Hard as it may be to believe, Toyota’s ground-breaking hybrid, the Prius, has been around for 25 years. It’s the top-seller and an excellent choice, still. A few years ago Toyota wisely improved the Prius styling to round it more and give it a hint of... Continue Reading →
No big fins, but Caddy recaptures luxury in an SUV ... Luxury, and the perception of luxury, dictate price in the auto world, always have.

Lexus ES250 a rare luxury sedan with AWD ... Sedans are nearly as rare today as a functioning VHS tape player, even in the luxury market. Rarer still are sedans with all-wheel-drive and a starting price well below $50,000. I never thought I’d say this, but Lexus offers a cost leader, a high-value premium mid-size... Continue Reading →
New hybrid rated 42 MPG city, 37 MPG combined … A 2022 Ford Maverick at Road America, with Indy Lights racer on track. Last week a bunch of us Midwest auto writers got to give the new 2022 Ford Maverick Hybrid pickup a spin up at Road America, and trust me Ford is gonna sell... Continue Reading →
Smooth plug-in hybrid adds power, better fuel economy to SUV Luxury and power are as ubiquitous as peanut butter and chocolate. BMW knows that and blends the two with just a smidge of social consciousness in its latest X5 mid-size SUV/crossover. Its full name is X5 xDrive45e. What that means is that the power now...

Sonata N Line perks up performance, but remains high value ... Performance comes at a price, always has, always will. Sometimes the price is simply a higher cost, sometimes it’s a gas-hog engine, sometimes it’s a brutal ride. Hyundai is known for value so when it introduced its performance N, or now N Line, models... Continue Reading →
Fourth gen Santa Fe grows into a sharp looker ... Time flies. Hyundai’s Santa Fe SUV proves it. Santa Fe debuted 20 years ago as the South Korean automaker’s mid-size SUV.
