2018 Hyundai Elantra GT
It’s not hard to understand why sedans aren’t selling. They are too small. Even a full-size sedan hasn’t got much trunk. And what trunk it’s got is isolated from the rest...
2018 Ford Eco Sport
Really small SUVs aren't a new idea. You may remember old school examples like the Geo (later Chevy) Tracker of the '90s, as a for-instance.
But the idea's making a comeback.
And it's...
2018 Honda Accord
Sedans used to be the mainstays of the market - mostly on account of their being practical. Four doors instead of two. Then along came crossovers - which are based on...
2019 Jeep Cherokee
Let's talk about a hybrid that makes some sense for once.

The Cadillac Escalade is ridiculous - but then, so is my orange 1976 Trans Am.
Both are over-engined, exuberant, garish - and so, glorious.
Both also annoy the right people. Rev engine at the...
2018 VW GTI
The VW GTI hatchback sedan doesn't look like a Corvette, but it reminds me of one.
Not a new one.
My high school buddy’s 1978 L-82 coupe
The GTI has a 220 hp engine....
2018 Mini Countryman Plug-in Hybrid
One of the reasons the Germans lost the Battle of Britain almost 80 years ago ties into the problem with plug-in hybrids today.
Range on the batteries.
