2015 Lexus NX300h

6
Maybe you're like me and think there's something... odd about spending $40,000 on a car because you're, uh, worried about how much gas costs. And yet, they sell. High-end hybrids, that is. And...

2012 Cadillac Escalade ESV

6
It stands alone, unchallenged ... the master of all it surveys.  Not merely surviving but thriving. The Hummer came - and went. So also the Ford Excursion - a mere Ford, too...

2011 Ford F-150

2014 Toyota Corolla – Addendum

7
The Age of the Economy Car is officially over. Try and find one. I mean, try and find a new car that has anything in common with a Chevette, a Pinto, an...

2015 Mini Cooper

9
The latest Mini is a bit bigger now  - and slightly smaller engined. Usually, that's a recipe for slower - and drinks more gas. Would you believe (best Maxwell Smart voice) this one...

2012 Kia Rio

8
At first, I thought something had to be wrong. The window sticker that came with the new Kia Rio I've been test driving said 30 city, 40 highway. The car's mileage...
