February 5, 2018May 22, 2018 Jackie Strada

When a vehicle is redesigned, there’s a good chance it’s going to get bigger. But when it came time to update its popular GMC Acadia, General Motors went the other direction by trimming the overall length and dropping over 700 pounds from the curb weight. In our opinion, it was a good move. During our test drive of the latest Acadia, we didn’t miss the extra sheet metal, and found the cabin to be well appointed, with lots of features sure to keep passengers of this six-seat people mover happy…

February 1, 2018May 22, 2018 John Coyle

The Mazda CX-5 is definitely worth a look. Because while the sporty, virtually perfect MX-5 might be the first Mazda enthusiasts think of, the best-selling model in the company’s lineup is actually the CX-5 crossover. And while it doesn’t promise the ethereal handling of the taut little roadster—very few vehicles do, after all—the versatile compact SUV still proves that the Mazda engineers continue to consider the driving experience with every model they design.

With the RX, Lexus essentially invented the luxury crossover segment, and when it came time to enter compact area of the segment, Lexus again wanted to set the bar. The result was the NX, and along with styling which looked barely changed from the sharp, sexy, LF-NX concept, the production version also marked a first for Lexus, in that it was the marque’s first turbocharged model. If you’re in the market, the Lexus NX200t F Sport makes a compelling argument to be your next versatile daily driver. But along with…

2018 Nissan Pathfinder Platinum Review: Video

January 19, 2018May 29, 2018 Jackie Strada

While the first incarnations of Nissan’s long running SUV were more geared toward off-road adventures, the 2018 Nissan Pathfinder Platinum is adapted for the urban jungle. It’s a smart move for Nissan, as even hardcore machines like the Land Rover Discovery or Toyota Land Cruiser aren’t generally tasked with tackling anything more trying than the occasional snow day and grocery store parking lot. So while folks looking to bash down forest roads or brave the rocky trails of the Moab desert might want to opt for something more purpose built,…
