Since I have no intentions of ever purchasing another […]

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 […]

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.

Kia’s EV6 is one of the best new electric cars you can buy. It offers both a rear-drive, single motor setup, and a dual-motor all-wheel drive option. It’s quick. It’s comfortable. It has incredible fast charging tech. But we always knew there would be more. That “more” comes in the form of the high-performance GT […]

The 2023 Toyota Prius is the best looking Prius to date. Heck, we’d go as far as to say that the Prius is the best looking Toyota to date. There are more than just cosmetic changes for the new model, and there are some compromises made to make the car look as good as it […]
