2024 Dodge Hornet R/T first drive review: Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee

You wouldn’t be wrong in stating that the current batch of Dodge vehicles is getting pretty old. Some of the platforms date back to the turn of the century, in some parts, so it’s a big deal that the brand has an all-new model. The first all new model in a decade. Plus, it’s available […]

2023 Lexus RZ 450e first drive review: Range anxious luxury

Before we start talking about the experience driving the new Lexus RZ 450e, we’d like to address a question. Yes, the folks at Lexus learned from the failures of the Toyota bZ4X launch and have ensured that the wheels will, in fact, stay attached to the car. But one of the other shortcomings of the […]

Lectron V-Box 48-amp EV charging station hands-on review

After having great success with Lectron’s Tesla to J1772 adapter to charge my Polestar 2 and Toyota Prius Prime over the last few months, Lectron reached out to me to see if I would be interested in giving its V-Box 48-amp EV charging station a test. Since I have no intentions of ever purchasing another […]

2022 BMW iX xDrive50 review: The future is now

The BMW iX xDrive50 is like a rolling art project. This all-electric utility vehicle wears futuristic (and controversial) exterior styling, has a high-fashion interior that pushes boundaries, makes extensive use of eco-friendly materials and is built on an aluminum-composite spaceframe structure. Indeed, the iX is a grand vision of the future, and for the most […]

2023 Genesis Electrified G80 review: Smooth operator

It’s tough to find sedans these days because automakers have almost completely shifted their focus to crossovers, SUVs and pickup trucks. All-electric four-door cars are scarcer still, though there are a few offerings to choose from, including the BMW i4, new Mercedes-Benz EQE and Tesla Model 3. One additional option is the 2023 Genesis Electrified […]

2022 Polestar 2 review: If you can find a better Volvo, buy it

In the early 1980s, Lee Iacocca, the head honcho of Chrysler, starred in a famous TV commercial where he brazenly proclaimed, “If you can find a better car, buy it.” This quip underscored his confidence in the automaker’s new lineup of economical, front-wheel-drive vehicles, a product line that ended up saving the Pentastar brand from […]
