Debonair V60 Cross Country a sensory surprise ...  What vehicles catch folks’ attention these days? If you’re thinking big pickups or SUVs you’d be way off base.

2020 Nissan Armada Platinum 4WD

Armada a big boat full of performance, luxury ...  In some ways you’d think Nissan would own the large SUV market. Its small Rogue is extremely popular as is its mid-size SUV, the Pathfinder. Consider too that Nissan’s large SUV boasts the most power in its class and is one of the lower priced big... Continue Reading →

2020 Dodge Durango SRT 392

Durango SRT rocks the SUV world ... Dodge’s Durango SRT is the truck version of a NASCAR stocker. SRT is all about power, muscle and grunt with an engine grumble that sounds like a stock car ready to bust out of the pits and head up the banking at Daytona. Otherwise, it’s a fine, luxurious...

2020 Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro

4Runner TRD Pro a muscular drive ... My wife calls Toyota’s 4Runner a manly man’s truck, and it certainly is. Tall, muscular looking, big tires and wheels, a hood scoop, a husky luggage rack on the roof and an engine that growls along with knobby tires that rumble on the road. Yes, manly and a...

2020 Ford Explorer ST AWD

Explorer ST puts the sport into sport-utility (at a price) ... Ford’s Explorer is the ubiquitous family SUV.

There are a lot of Explorers on the road and... Continue Reading →

2020 Range Rover Evoque SE AWD

New Evoque fails $64,000 question ...

2020 Lexus NX 300 AWD F Sport

Lexus NX 300 a small ute with style . . . Small SUVs and crossovers are nearly as thick these days as political pundits, so it takes some effort to separate one from the mob of little tall wagons. Lexus tries, with some success, with its NX 300, based on the previous generation Toyota RAV4... Continue Reading →

2019 Lexus RX 350L AWD Luxury

Lexus RX 350L, when you're entitled to more luxury ... There’s no doubt we’re an entitled society from top to bottom. But when one slides behind the steering wheel of a Lexus RX 350L it’s hard not to feel a strong urge of entitlement, and contentment. Granted, I’m lucky to get such a chance, but...

2019 Honda Passport AWD Elite

Dandy new Passport hauls a lot of gear ... A loaded-down road trip to Minnesota was the perfect test for Honda’s latest crossover/SUV, the midsize Passport.
