There was a time when the Toyota Camry was the best-selling vehicle in America. You’d see these sedans everywhere. Perhaps it go so popular that it lost its wow factor. Or maybe, and more likely, the auto industry outgrew the Camry and all cars like it. If that’s the case it’s unfortunate be…

It was time for another weekend road trip to Ocean City in honor of my teen daughter’s volleyball lifestyle. From Silver Spring, MD the beach town is a three to 4-hour commute depending on traffic. So, of course I was apprehensive about driving an EV down there without knowing the lay of the…

As Genesis continues to expand its EV lineup, I must pay homage to the electrified 2023 GV60 crossover, the company’s first dedicated EV model. The Korean automaker’s e-mobility goal is to shift towards an all-electric lineup by 2030. The AWD GV60 has an EPA-estimated electric driving range …

We’ve recently documented that Mazda is launching a new flagship SUV called the CX-90. The CX-90 will replace the CX-9 in the Mazda family lineup as the Japanese automaker heads toward a future that includes electrification.

Big things are happening with the Volvo brand. Rather than go full-bore toward an electrified lineup, the Swedish car brand is turning their entire lineup into mild hybrids while also offering electric options for many of their vehicles.

Remember when the Toyota Camry used to be the darling of the auto industry. It regularly held the title of best-selling car in America. Well, in this era of crossovers and EVs, sedans like the Camry are more passé. But that doesn’t mean the Camry can’t remain relevant in such a world.

With all the hullabaloo about General Motors going full bore toward full electrification of their lineup (see the video below with the catchy Fleetwood Mac song), there’s the 2023 Chevy Traverse still holding onto what’s made it successful and popular, without a single bit of EV or even hybr…

Today’s vehicles are technological marvels. Really, they are. Most vehicles today have somewhere around 50 computer systems controlling them in some capacity. So while we marvel at the beauty of the exterior or hold in awe the output of the engine, what goes mostly unnoticed is the technolog…
