Minivans. The most disrespected vehicle segment, yet the best for anyone not behind the wheel. Nothing on the road is better for carrying a multitude of passengers over long distances. Although customers no longer favor these workhorses, a few do remain on the market, even if they might not actually be called minivans anymore.

The Toyota Crown came to market late last year as a new full-size vehicle offering. Available with a host of hybrid powertrains, it features unique styling and cool two-tone paint options.

We’re hard pressed to think of any other vehicle that has undergone such a fundamental improvement from one generation to the next like the 2023 Toyota Prius has. Going from a sensible, highly efficient, albeit uninspiring car, to one that has suddenly become desirable, is no small feat. Toyota hit a home run with this car that seemingly does it all.

Not just about the claims anymore

Mercedes-Benz was one of the first manufacturers to go head-first into creating luxury SUVs. The original ML 320 showed just how much appetite there was for high-riding, multi-passenger luxury vehicles.

The Ioniq 6 is Hyundai’s first all-electric sedan, and it’s a good one. Having driven it on several occasions, we’ve always come away impressed.

Electric vehicles (EVs) have seen a remarkable surge in popularity in recent years, with their market share growing steadily. According to the JD Power E-Vision Intelligence Report, EVs now account for 8.4% of the retail new-vehicle purchase and lease market. However, beneath this promising growth lies a stark reality: electric cars continue to be something only the wealthy can afford. The report highlights that a significant 76% of EV sales occur in the luxury market, with affordability being a key factor. Let's delve into the data and explore why electric cars remain out of reach for the average consumer.

We recently spent a week with the 2023 Acura TLX Type S and concluded it’s one of the best kept secrets in the luxury performance sedan market. Although the usual German entries from BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Audi grab most of the headlines and attention, Acura has been quietly producing a great vehicle as well.

“NISMO”. You likely know the name; it stands for “NISsan MOtorsport” and it’s been emblazoned across the flanks of everything from the Frontier pickup to the GT-R supercar, not to mention road racing rockets and desert bashing off-road racers across the globe.

In the sea of three-row SUVs, the Volkswagen Atlas stands out as one of the larger options. With adult-size space in all three rows, it’s a great choice for families of all ages. Better still, for the 2024 model year, the Atlas is all-new.

The BMW X6 is an extrovert’s SUV. It’s the high-riding, multipurpose vehicle for those seeking more flash and visual impact than a regular SUV.

There’s a new kid in town with a familiar name, familiar purpose, but entirely different make up. It’s a Mustang that hopes to carry-on the tradition of vehicles like the Focus RS, but in an all-electric SUV body. Behold the all-new Ford Mustang Mach-E Rally.
