A Few of My Favorite Things…About The Jeep Gladiator What did I like about the all-new 2020 Jeep Gladiator? After experiencing three different trims of the 4WD four-door Wrangler pickup on a day-long drive that took us over more than 200 miles of pavement and on a technical, rock-and-mud strewn off-road track, the answer is- more than I could have...

2019 Nissan Kicks-Small Footprint, Big Style The first thing that hit me square between the eyes with the 2019 Nissan Kicks was the turning radius. There is no better description than"Wow!" It was almost as if it turns within its own footprint. Allowing it to do a complete 180 degrees without straying out of it's own two lane highway. Maybe...

Mitsubishi Is Making Better Vehicles I have to admit, as a brand, Mitsubishi has grown on me in the past couple of years. Back when the Mirage was first introduced I was provided one to test drive and wrote a quite scathing review on it because I did not consider it safe. When driving I found that when any other...

2021 GMC Yukon Denali Review-Well Rounded SUV I bought my first GMC Yukon back in 2004. I loved it so much I bought another one in 2008, passing the “old” 2004 model on to my son. He drove that Yukon all over Texas and the country until it was well over a decade old and way past 100,000 miles. When...

2021 Buick Enclave Avenir Review The days of the once famous Buick portholes that made the brand recognizable from great distances are gone, but the days of Buick being a premiere brand among America’s motorcars is far from over. I spent one of my first week’s post-quarantine driving one of the best Buicks on the road – the Enclave Avenir....

By BILL OWNEY 2021 Chevrolet Trailblazer Is Roomy & Peppy Chevrolet’s all-new 2021 Trailblazer is an altogether agreeable road companion with peppy performance, fine fuel economy, and loads of cabin room, starting at $21,600. Beautiful Bride and I marveled at this competent and comfortable little machine. With back seats folded, it has 54 ft3 of volume, which must be best in class....

2019 Toyota Avalon Hybrid Is Impressive I had to do a double-take when I saw the sticker price on the new 2019 Toyota Avalon Hybrid I recently test drove. I spent the entire week with the car thinking how far it has come since I first drove an Avalon more than a decade ago. At that time I wasn't a...
