The Toyota Avalon is a bit like the easily-overlooked, underachieving younger sibling with a weight problem. Wait. What? Okay, hear me out. First, understand that (i) I too was the easily-overlooked, underachieving younger sibling with a weight problem, and (ii) I’m awesome. Well, the 2018 Toyota Avalon is pretty awesome too. Unfortunately, it’s easily overlooked […]

Your Nissan Dealership Has a Surprise For You
When was the last time that you visited a Nissan Dealership? No, scratch that. When was the last time that you explored everything that Nissan had to offer? From vehicle selection and the wealth of online information, to dealer inventories and certified pre-owned programs, there is no shortage of reasons to get excited about Nissan. […]
2017 Honda Accord vs 2017 Ford Fusion
Something feels unbalanced about the comparing the 2017 Honda Accord vs 2017 Ford Fusion. With a 30 year difference between the two offerings, I’m not sure whether I feel like I’m challenging a 70-year old man to a race, or being challenged to a race by a 10-year old boy. Either way, the expectations of […]
Why Your Honda Dealership May Be Nothing Like You Remember
When you walk onto the lot of your local Honda dealership, what do you expect to find? Quite possibly, your expectations are limited. Lack of familiarity with today’s Honda may leave you with little else but a faded memory of some older, tired models. And when you walk onto the lot of your local Honda dealership, […]
2017 Toyota Highlander vs 2017 Chevy Traverse
Of all vehicle comparison pieces, crossover SUV offerings remain among the hardest to do. While the primary blame falls upon the level of inundation from every vehicle supplier, creating an over-saturation of the market, it’s not helped by the level of redundancy. And by redundancy, I refer to the relative lack of distinctive innovation, resulting […]
MLB All-Star Game MVPs Have Taken Home Impressive Chevys
Chevy’s relationship with Major League Baseball has been ongoing since 2005. The car brand ultimately developed the Chevrolet Youth Baseball program, and the company has donated more than 135,000 equipment kits, revamped more than 9,000 parks, and impacted 6.7 million children since its inception. Of course, one of the brand’s other requirements is to award […]
Why Ford Has “The Edge” Over Other Crossovers
At first glance, there wasn’t much about the Ford Edge that grabbed my attention or yanked me around to take a closer look. In all fairness, that’s not really a criticism of the Edge itself, but more so of what the over-saturated crossover / SUV marketplace has become. Varying levels of “boxy” designs, contoured to […]
To Lift…or Not To Lift
“That is the question…” Okay, it’s hardly Shakespeare but, then again, it’s hardly a question. Few Jeep drivers (if any) have not considered modifying their Jeep with a raised suspension or oversized tires. A common consideration for many off-road vehicles, it’s sort of an inevitability when you’re talking about a Jeep. Whether the lift is […]
Walking Through the Building of a 2017 Nissan Rogue
When you first begin building your 2017 Nissan Rogue online, you’ll presumably be overwhelmed by all of the available options. There are a number of ways that drivers can customize their SUV, whether it be via the engine options, colors, packages, or available amenities. When it comes down to it, there must be thousands upon […]

SUVs are a perfect choice for families, and no model is more capable of delivering all of the necessary features and capabilities than the 2017 Honda Pilot.

2017 Toyota Camry vs 2017 Honda Accord
In casting a wide-enough net, any well-thought search for a midsize sedan should include a comparison of the 2017 Toyota Camry vs the 2017 Honda Accord. If you’re expecting a close competition between the two, you won’t be disappointed. Ultimately, these have always been two very competitive vehicles, and any decision will rest in the […]
Pick Up Your Date in an Alfa Romeo Giulia
So you’ve gone on Tinder and swiped right. Or you’ve finally given in and have allowed yourself to be set up with your grandmother’s best friend’s granddaughter. Or maybe you went the old fashioned route and handed your number to the hot girl at the bar – either way, you’ve got a date tonight and […]
Leave the Levante Behind
When I think of luxury car brands – Ferrari, Maserati, Lamborghini, Porsche – I think fast. Sleek. Sexy. I do not think lumbering, beastly and – (the horror!) – SUV. To me, if you’re rich enough to drive a luxury sports car, why wouldn’t you also just buy a “cheap” family SUV in addition to […]
Hyundai Continues to Collect Accolades
You can read blog post upon blog post about which particular vehicle might be right for you. However, there’s truly no way to fully trust these writers’ opinions. Rather, as a prospective buyer, you might be more comfortable relying on the recommendations of actual automotive experts. Well, one of the ways that these automotive experts […]
Why Customers Shouldn’t Ignore Chevy’s Commercial Vehicles
When we usually focus on Chevy’s assortment of commercial vehicles, we usually limit our search to their pickup trucks. While the 2017 Colorado and the line of 2017 Silverados (including the Heavy Duty models) are certainly impressive, these prospective buyers may be missing out on an excellent deal by ignoring the brand’s other offerings. For […]
What’s So Great About Mazda?
I feel like there are some car companies that you just know – like they are inherent to the industry. A few examples? BMW. Jeep. Ferrari. They have name recognition and staying power. So it’s always interesting to me when I realize that a new manufacturer has made the same inroads into the collective conscious. […]
It’s the End of the Line for the AEV Brute Pickup
Are you one of the fans of the Brute, the American Expedition Vehicle (AEV) Jeep Wrangler pickup truck? If so, we’ve got some sad news for you. As of this year, it is no longer being made. But if you’re a collector of AEV Jeeps and have a small fortune to spend (around $100,000), […]
The History of Car Seats
As someone who recently had their first child, let me tell you the number of times I’ve heard “back when I had kids we [insert some action that’s considered terribly dangerous today] and look – everyone survived!” It’s constant. Ask any parent with children of any age and I guarantee you they’ve been told the […]
Set yourself apart with the 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor
Maybe you’ve been watching too many super hero movies this summer? Or maybe you fear that the apocalypse is near? Whatever your situation, if you need to let the beast within you out on the road there’s no better vehicle than the Ford F-150 Raptor. No matter where you drive—city streets, country backroads, highways, or […]
Alfa Romeo Giulia & The 30 Year Itch
When I came across an advertisement listing an Alfa Romeo Giulia for sale, I have to admit that I had no idea Alfa Romeo had released a new Giulia in 2017. For anyone familiar with Alfa Romeo’s history, you know that there really have been limited Alfa offerings to the American car buyer across the […]
