It was the holidays and my family had just landed in California for vacation. Gas was hovering near $5/gallon. I was thinking a Toyota Prius would be perfect. Or … what about that redesigned hybrid-only 2025 Toyota Camry SE I saw across the lot? My family raised all of its eyebrows, but quickly retracted them when they saw the wisdom of my ...Read more

Having spent some time behind the wheel of Jeep’s first electric vehicle, the 2025 Jeep Wagoneer S Launch Edition, I realized that it represents the quintessential new American luxury car. It’s not a soggy, vinyl and chrome-laden brougham of the 1970s, nor a Nimitz-class, body-on-frame, leather-lined SUV of the 2000s. In its size, deportment...Read more

(I should know because I had one in my early years only it was brown.) Why no name plates on the car? Is this going to be a trend of having no ...Read more

SAN ANTONIO, Texas — I’d like to start my review of the 2025 Volkswagen Taos subcompact SUV from the backseat.

It’s terrific. I can easily sit behind myself. I’m 6’5” and my knees don’t even touch the seatback in front of me. I can cross my legs, and my giraffe neck isn’t stuffed into the roof. In fact, I have plenty of headroom...Read more
