Our first wheel-time in the new Hyundai Sonata came in August, when Hyundai invited us down to Lincoln Center. If you’re an avid reader, you will remember that our initial impression was positive, but the 35 mile route didn’t give us enough time to get the whole picture. […]
As Ford prepares to launch the 2015 F150, a traveling circus of tents and trucks is traversing the country to introduce dealers to the next generation of Ford’s best-selling truck. Nearly a dozen trucks are hitting 26 cities to showcase the advancements and aluminum of the F150. In […]
Imagine, for a moment, that you are sitting in a very expensive armchair. You can tell it’s an expensive chair from the suppleness of the leather and the perfect amount of support in the seat. Perhaps you’re even enjoying a soothing warm massage. To accompany your fine seating […]

The Fiat 500 is a hot hatch in caricature: small, nimble, and visceral. But like any good caricature, the most prominent features are accentuated to the extreme. Among its counterparts, it’s rather small, darty, and very vocal. I mean loud. Disturb the neighbors loud. It’s all part of […]
The transformation from the previous generation to the all-new 2015 Hyundai Genesis is eye opening. Exactly a year ago, I had just completed a week in the 2013 Hyundai Genesis R-Spec. That Genesis, the first generation, was awash in luxury features but didn’t quite live up to the […]
