2015 Acura RLX Sport Hybrid
Sometimes, greatness is found hiding in plain sight.
You’re forgiven of the name “RLX” flies right over your head. We’ll look the other way if one were to drive right by you and you wouldn’t notice whatsoever. That’s because Acura’s RLX, perhaps one of the most underrated and painfully neglected cars out there, is styled to look like a toaster.
That’s not exactly
2015 Honda Accord Touring
Like fine wine and cheese, it keeps getting better as the years go by
The Honda Accord is the vehicular equivalent of a Golden Retriever- eager to please, loyal and extremely well liked by everyone. When you look at it on the same level as the lovable pooch, it should come as no surprise that Honda sells hundreds of thousands of them every
2015 Honda Fit EX-L
Honda’s smallest car will perfectly “Fit” the bill for many situations.
I remember the first time I drove the Honda Fit: it was a revelation. At the time of its introduction, you simply could not put the words “fun” and “subcompact cars” in the same sentence. Being accustomed to morale-sapping rides like the Toyota Yaris and Chevy Aveo, I figured it was going
Ignition: 2016 Honda HR-V
Miami Beach, Florida- Remember in the early Oughties at the height of the SUV craze- everyone complained that they were too big, too ponderous and too thirsty? Fast forward to today and while SUV’s are still popular, there’s an emerging shift towards downsizing this popular vehicle type. People are starting to come around to the fact that sky high ground clearances make getting in and
2015 Honda CR-V SE
The plans said facelift, but the result was major surgery.
We came away with a better understanding of why Honda’s CR-V is the best-selling vehicle in its class when we Road Tested the 2014 model about a year ago. It was comfortable, spacious and well-built yet still engaging to drive. The basic recipe contained a fundamental goodness any small CUV shopper would appreciate,
2015 Lexus NX200t F Sport
Lexus refuses to be typecast. Here’s proof
Since they burst onto the luxury car scene in 1989, Lexus has been carefully cultivating a reputation for its products, one that is founded on precise craftsmanship, obsessive pursuit of automotive serenity and attention to detail. No one is disputing those claims, but neither is anyone using the words “sporty”, or “edgy” to describe a
2015 Toyota Camry XSE
A bland dish receives some much needed spice.
Toyota is the world’s largest automaker (they’ve closed the book on another year of over 10 million units sold globally) so it shouldn’t come as a surprise that they are amongst the world’s biggest spenders on Research and Development. On a per-hour basis, these folks are shelling out a staggering 1.1 million dollars. With that
2015 Toyota Avalon Limited
Toyota’s flagship starts acting more its age.
Typically, twenty-one year olds are most concerned with proliferating the latest social media app and partying, not making sure the PVR is set to capture Perry Mason reruns and being mindful that one’s patent shoes and belt are the same hue of white. Yet that is precisely the kind of stuff the young Avalon has been burdened with since
2015 Toyota 4Runner
When resistance to change pays off.
Usually, brisk change is synonymous with automotive industry product cycles. Nowadays, if a car sticks to its basic recipe for more than five years it’s considered ancient. There are exceptions to this rule, and perhaps the most well documented example of adamant resistance to change can be found in Porsche’s 911. Around basically unchanged since the 1960’s,
2015 BMW 740Ld xDrive Sedan
Diesel power and a Long Wheelbase 7 series, together at last
If a full size, fuel-sipping German luxury sedan is on your shopping list, the usual suspects (Audi, Mercedes Benz and now, BMW) have you covered- all offer models with diesel power. BMW continues to offer a 7 series ActiveHybrid, but we’ve driven the technology on 3 and 5 series models- two
