Over the better part of the last month-and-a-half, current auto news headlines have been lightly (if not consistently) dusted with stories leading up to – or stemming from – the 2019 Moab Utah Easter Jeep Safari.

My Buick Dealership Experience
Often times unexpected things can make big impacts in our lives. For some, this can be a random meeting on a train, a good grade on a test, or even a random promotion. Whatever the case may be, random acts sometimes set into motion a series of events that have a lasting impact on our […]
The Crossover Clash: 2019 Chevy Trax vs. 2019 Honda HR-V
Born out of the contradictory demand for compact cars that offer the advantages of an SUV, the crossover has boomed in popularity over the past decade. With practically every major car manufacturer on the planet offering their own take on this popular design, it can be a little overwhelming deciding which one is the right […]
Should You Pick the Buick Encore or the Mini Countryman?
I’m not going to lie: the name “Mini Countryman” sounds like something out of a strange fairy tale or a Saturday morning cartoon to me. I hear it and I picture some sort of tiny man, dressed in overalls and wearing a straw hat, exploring a distant countryside – perhaps riding a friendly mouse companion […]
Surprised to Say That We’re Obsessed with the KIA Telluride. Here’s why…
There’s a part of us that will never ‘not be surprised’ when KIA shows up to the party with a brand new offering that either manages to pique our curiosity or grab our attention outright. After all, it seems like just yesterday when their upstart lineup was little more than a joke outside of the […]
Tips for Buying a Used Car
Buying a new car can be a long and stressful process. It can get even more complicated when purchasing used cars, as there are more factors to take into account. Not only does one have to first figure out exactly which vehicle they are looking for, but they must also then find that specific vehicle in […]
A New King Of The Hill: 2019 Chevy Traverse vs 2019 Ford Explorer
When pitting two crossover Sport Utility Vehicles against one another, such as the 2019 Chevy Traverse vs 2019 Ford Explorer, the first thing that comes to mind is “Really?

Should I Pick the GMC Yukon XL or the Chevy Suburban?
That’s a good question, one that is a bit more complicated than it might seem at first glance. You see, in many ways, they are the same vehicle. Pitting them against each other, like looking at the 2019 GMC Yukon XL vs 2019 Chevy Suburban, is mostly a moot point because their numbers are essentially […]
2019 Ford Escape vs. 2019 Toyota Rav4 Showdown
Sometimes in life, it’s time to buckle down and do the research. If the best product at the best value is a must, you have to tie on your big-boy shoes and dig deep into the dark abyss of the web, braving the pages and forms asking for name, phone number, email, address, and the […]
Domestic Vs. Import: 2019 Chevy Silverado vs 2019 Toyota Tundra
What makes a great truck? Some may say power, towing, or off-road ability. Others may value tech, luxury, and comfort over brawn and capability. For most consumers, the correct answer is probably somewhere in the middle. The modern truck buyer expects a vehicle that is as comfortable towing a boat as it is pulling up […]
California v. Detroit (or “Proof that the West Coast Prefers Imports”)
As with most every part of the country, dealerships in Los Angeles are diverse, accommodating every kind of consumer. And while there’s really nothing special about the L.A. automotive marketplace in that regard; what’s interesting are the rankings, showing which makes and models prove most popular in the City of Angels. Setting aside any preconceived […]
A Bit about Buick
Where did Buick come from? David Dunbar Buick, the company’s founder, never could have imagined how impressive Buick SUVs and Crossovers could get. He built functioning gasoline engines by the year 1899, leading to his engineer, Walter L. Marr to complete the first Buick automobile. Two years later, in 1901, David Dunbar Buick attempted to […]

When it comes to mid size SUVs in the car market, the options are endless. Most car manufacturers make a mid size SUV to choose from but the two that might stick out the most are the 2019 Chevy Traverse vs 2019 Honda Pilot. The Pilot was introduced by Honda in 2003 and although the […]
Where To Look For Used Cars
There are over 36,000 automotive dealers in the US, that’s enough to stretch to the moon and back. Okay, so that’s a made-up analogy and unit of measurement, however, the number isn’t fake, and that’s a significant amount of dealers to buy used cars from. That averages down to 720 dealers per state, and that […]
Functionality and Flash: 2019 GMC Yukon XL vs 2019 Toyota Sequoia
Sport Utility vehicles are all the rage these days with automobile manufacturers fumbling and scraping the idea barrel to fill every possible subcategory of SUV possible. Consumer demand may have created a beast out of auto companies as they shell out mid-level and subcompact sport utility models to flood the market; a new breed of […]
Clash of the Crossovers: 2019 GMC Terrain vs the 2019 Mazda CX-5
GMC and Mazda are two very different car manufacturers with two very different takes on the classic crossover SUV design.

The Ford F-series has been a part of the American landscape since 1948. That is 71 years of operating as the people’s workhorse. With millions of Ford trucks sold since first released, these American icons have literally moved America. In the modern era, Ford trucks are still the top-selling vehicle in the US. A new […]
Ford Escape VS Nissan Rogue
The 2019 Ford Escape and the 2019 Nissan Rogue are two very similar SUVs, but how similar are they? Knowing full well that there is close competition, how confident are these two brands in their vehicle? As someone who drives another similar model, I was curious to compare the 2019 Ford Escape vs 2019 Nissan Rogue […]
Is Cadillac Poised to “Rise” Again?
Back in February, the 91st Oscars ceremony included a Cadillac presence that was not only visible but downright tangible. And while I’m no awards show enthusiast, it was a clever play by GM Cadillac’s marketing team to recapture the aspirational esteem with which we hold celebrity, and gift to the entertainment elite. But who else […]
