I haven’t watched a single episode of Tiger King.

Hyundai wants you to think of its new Venue as a pint-size crossover. But don’t believe the Korean brand.

AutoGuide readers, I need your help. I need you to comment on this review, and make your voices heard to the good folks who run this website. AutoGuide needs to invest in a trailer – preferably with something on it.

Pragmatism. That’s what the Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla, two recently refreshed titans of industry, represent.

As anyone who owns a toddler knows, it is easier to solve Fermat’s Last Theorem than it is to get a small child to eat their vegetables. How many of us were told as tykes not to eat cookies before supper lest we ruin our appetite?

To call the Escape the most important car Ford launches all year is an understatement.

Auto reviewers are a weird lot. We pay attention to details that very few car shoppers ever notice, and we are so jaded by the tsunami of high-tech features appearing each week in our driveways that we often forget that a buyer new to the market after a few years will be amazed (or confused) by the appearance of touch screens, track pads, and voice controls where once there were knobs.

The Honda HR-V is one of your many choices in a small crossover. Like all of those, it has some strengths, weaknesses, features, and functions that could make it the right choice for you. But it depends on what you’re after. Your writer found the HR-V to be a very willing and eager driving partner for inclement weather. Although I must admit, the test car did arrive with winter tires.

It’s about time. Just over 20 years since the first Honda Insight arrived on US shores—beating the Toyota Prius to US market by a year—the company has launched a hybrid version of its popular CR-V crossover. And it couldn’t have come a moment sooner.

While success is never guaranteed in the car industry, launching an SUV in North America these days comes pretty darn close. At the risk of oversimplification, a carmaker needs only roll the thing out and then sit back and watch buyers flock to dealerships to hand over their money.

There’s no getting around it: the 2020 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport is a calculated business move. And there’s nothing wrong with that.

I well remember being in a massive throng of car journalists on media preview day at the Detroit Auto Show in January 2013 for the reveal of the seventh generation (C7) Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. A next-generation reveal for an icon like the ‘Vette is a big deal, and it was the talk of the show.
At any rate, in the aftermath of the unveil I remember hearing and reading a lot about the dramatic (!) switch to rectangular taillights and a front grille and headlight array that looked like it had drawn a bit too much inspiration from Ferrari. The audacity! Having returned from Las Vegas where I sampled the all-new eighth-generation (C8) Corvette Stingray, a car that introduces changes that makes handwringing over square taillights and Ferrari-ish grilles seem quaint, I’m struck by how much the general consensus around this car has evolved. Just about everything I’ve heard is positive.

There’s a bit-part character in Mad Men whose portfolio is filled with “the cure for the common X” taglines. If Danny Siegel got any amount of seat time with the 2020 Volvo XC90 he’d almost surely call it the cure for the common SUV. And he wouldn’t be wrong.

The latest A-Class is proof that following the crowd has its advantages.

How do you increase the reach of America’s best-selling non-pickup? If you’re Toyota, you add a whiff of off-roading ability, embodied here in the RAV4 TRD Off-Road, new for 2020.

No other model in the Lexus lineup best exemplifies the luxury brand’s founding principles than the current ES sedan.

I’ve never been a Jeep Wrangler fanatic. While I’ve long appreciated the legendary off-road capabilities of the OG sports ute, I’ve never had the need to exploit those capabilities. To me, the compromises in on-road handling have turned me away.

I live in the countryside, way up north. We’ve got plenty of outdoor space, plenty of lakes and cottages and trails, and plenty of roads that are in spectacularly bad shape. 

I’m not ashamed to admit this review started for purely selfish reasons. Being honest is important in this field, after all.

Following a thorough refresh last year, the Acura ILX enters the new decade largely the same as the 2019 model.

When an opportunity like driving a  2020 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro comes your way, you don’t say no. Especially when a certain bow-hunting trip in the wilderness of northern Ontario is a part of the equation.

We’ve driven hundreds of cars over the last 12 months here at Autoguide.com. From humble hatchbacks to stunning supercars, 2019 will go down as a quality vintage, and here are the ones you read most, dear readers.

The Infiniti QX60 is the best-selling vehicle in the entire Infiniti portfolio.

Despite its quietly handsome new looks, the 2020 Toyota Highlander lives up to its namesake as a fierce fighter.

If one were to heed the bleating of certain corner offices and C-suites, it would seem that the compact car culture has been #cancelled, evaporated from the landscape like a fleeting Instagram story or ill-considered tweet. Those suits assert that SUVs and crossover (read: tall wagons) are the Way Forward.

The crossover boom is inescapable, even for Mazda, a marque long revered as the maker of fun-to-drive, reasonably priced cars. Its Mazda3 compact sedan formerly served as a gateway into the brand, but even it waned in popularity with the rise of enthusiasts’ least-favorite mildly lifted segment. Thus, the CX-3 crossover was born to woo singles and small families into a Mazda with an entry-level subcompact crossover.

It’s raining. Normally that’d only be a mild annoyance on a car launch, scuppering more complicated photo ops. But I’m in Finland. Just inside the Arctic Circle. In December.

The ride back was to be a laborious and deflating one. And had I not been in the new 2020  Ram 1500 Laramie Longhorn, I think I would have had less time to ponder over the dismal 10 days we had in the bush.

Hot dogs. Wine. Chainsaws. Jewelry.

Nearly twenty-five years ago, the creators of Star Trek decided to go back to the well one more time in search of TV gold. Riding high on the recent success of The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine series, Berman et al launched Voyager, a third show which was a similar – yet unique – take on a familiar formula.

Two segments growing faster than any other in today’s market are crossovers and EVs. The former has been growing like gangbusters for ages, with everyone from Aston Martin to Volkswagen busying themselves with stuffing their portfolios full of these high riding wagons. As for electric vehicles, manufacturers need to simultaneously appeal to shoppers while offering rigs with one eye on Johnny Polar Bear. Merging the two makes more than a lick of sense for the customer who makes treks to the hockey rink but brings burnt kale chips as a snack.

Seems like just yesterday I was driving around in the Arizona desert behind the wheel of Nissan’s then all-new, second-generation full-size Titan pick-up as part of the truck’s media launch.

The Mitsubishi Outlander Sport has been given a refresh for 2020, adding the requisite styling updates to be sure, but also a few interior enhancements to better level it with the competition.

When you talk to people about the BMW i3, the question that comes up the most often is “who is it for?” After driving the car for a week and considering the question thoroughly, I have found the answer. The BMW i3 is for me.

Although the 1 is an extremely comely car, it is also a vaguely disappointing one. The quality of its materials, the ethos of its design, and the nature of its power delivery fail to live up to the promise made by its exterior. And although there’s nothing exactly wrong with the 1, it’s just that there isn’t anything exceedingly special about it either.

Question: do you remember the Volkswagen CC?

Kleiner GTI, du siehst prima aus…

The friendly Toyota representative fairly choked on his water as he crossed the parking lot to correct us. “It’s not a snorkel, it’s a desert air intake.”

Lincoln hasn’t exactly had a smooth go of it in the last couple of decades.

More advanced, refined and capable, the 2020 Subaru Outback is better than ever.

Is there one vehicle that does it all?

“This is good,” I thought to myself about two minutes after swapping seats with my drive partner and settling in behind the wheel. “This is extremely good.”

The 2020 Ford Escape is brand new and that’s a huge deal.

No, the Nissan Versa sedan is not terribly exciting.

The Subaru Legacy has never been my favorite family car.

The automotive world has gone completely insane.

Would you ever consider owning a Lincoln?

Diesel power is back at Ram!

If there’s a better way to get the feel for and discover the idiosyncrasies of a particular vehicle than plopping down in the left-front seat and going for a long-haul drive, I’m not aware of it.

Unlike some automakers, Hyundai is super aggressive.

It’s time for another Ford vs. Chevy shootout.

It wasn’t the first time I had seen the Cadillac XT6. I’d seen plenty of it in photos, but I had also seen it in the metal more on more than one occasion. But this time, I saw a trio of them. In traffic. In Sport trim with dark pewter paint. No longer did I see a big SUV that departed from the elegance that was the CTS and the XT4 with their swooping lines and big boomerang headlights for no good reason. Well, I did still see that departure, but there was more of a reason.

“This minivan … it’s going to make automotive history. I feel that in my gut and I’m going to say it out loud even if it means going out on a limb.”

The Honda Civic has beat every compact car we’ve compared it against so far: the Mazda3, Subaru Impreza, and Toyota Corolla. That’s an impressive feat seeing as all of those competitors are much newer than the Civic, which came out in 2015. 

Lexus has been around for 30 years and in that time, the brand has built a steady reputation for its high quality, luxury cars. First-generation Lexuses are still on the road today, soaking up the miles with nary a squeak and a rattle.

Surprising is the best way to describe Kia’s latest new models. The all-new Stinger made such a splash that it earned our car of the year award, and we were left wondering what’s next to come from the Korean automaker. The answer is the Kia Telluride, a three-row crossover that is a bit late to the game but can one-up almost every rival in the segment.

There’s one in every crowd.

When the Genesis G70 came out last year, we were so impressed by the sport sedan that we awarded it as AutoGuide.com‘s 2019 Car of the Year.

The Chevrolet Silverado Heavy Duty family of trucks is brand new for 2020.

The Macan is the gateway to the Porsche club. It’s incredibly popular, racking up hundreds of thousands of sales in its few years of existence. But it’s also been criticized in the past for being a bit too focused on athleticism and not quite focused enough on luxury. The latest Macan is going through an update that will help balance it out and broaden its appeal to a wider audience of car buyers.
