2024 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport SEL Premium R-Line
VW's Atlas Cross Sport is a fraternal twin to the 3-row Atlas, but will haul more cargo, and fewer people. Which do you need?
2023 Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy AWD
Refreshed Palisade still a walk-off homer of style, function ... As if the Hyundai Palisade 3-row SUV weren’t snazzy enough it has been slightly restyled for 2023 to make an already stunning family hauler more eye-popping and safer.

2023 Nissan Pathfinder Platinum 4WD
Pathfinder a calm, quiet, smooth performer ... The Bath County Courthouse (Va.) provides Pathfinder's backdrop.

What are Zoomies?
Everyman’s Car of the Year, where style and value still matter ... Nothing lasts forever I’m told, so my Zoomie Car of the Year awards appeared in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel for 25 years, then got kicked to the curb. I wrapped up my Zoomies on the Savageonwheels.com website and on WUWM in 2015, and... Continue Reading →
2020 Hyundai Palisade SEL AWD
Palisade, like Telluride, a first rate family SUV … I declared the Kia Telluride the finest SUV I’d driven in ages and an absolute winner in every way when I drove it last June, but its kissin’ cousin, the Hyundai Palisade is equally as praiseworthy. I know us reviewers are supposed to pick at the... Continue Reading →
MAMA 2019 Spring Rally: Car heaven for auto journalist
So many cars to choose from Mark and I love this event. We get to hang out at our favorite race track, Road America, that's practically in our backyards.
