Showcasing the Best in the Mobile Enhancement Industry
In the world of SUVs, it is refreshing to get behind the wheel of a genuine luxury car. The younger generation typically eschews full-size luxury cars for luxury SUVs. No doubt that the Escalade outsells the wonderful Cadillac CT6. But here is the kicker: Because the CT6 is built as Cadillac’s flagship, it can integrate the latest technologies into the new vehicle platform. And Read more
The transition from cars to SUVs being cool has been slowly happening over the past 25 years. But now we have reached the tipping point where SUVs and trucks totally obliterate passenger car sales. We have a whole new generation of kids who grew up being taken to soccer practice in SUVs. And to them, SUVs were the cool cars. It was the minivans that remained “uncool.” As such, Read more
OK, so maybe you don’t describe the typical three-row SUV as something that “zooms,” but Mazda wanted to update its venerable CX-9 crossover with the driving dynamics and personality that defines Mazda. And the company has succeeded! The 2018 Mazda CX-9 is one of the few SUVs out there that can haul seven passengers quietly and comfortably, but the driver can have a little Read more
No doubt about it, the popularity of the Jeep Wrangler has made off-roading an American mainstay. However, it is not the only option for hardcore off-roaders. Heck, when the crew of TV’s “Top Gear” wanted to get to the North Pole, they chose the Toyota Hilux, known in our market as the Tacoma. It does not take a lot of effort to take a Tacoma from a mild-mannered vehicle best Read more
While a lot of Americans aren’t quite ready for full-electric vehicles because of range anxiety, hybrid vehicles have proven their effectiveness.

For example, Volvo is looking to hybrid-ize its entire fleet by 2019. Moreover, standard Read more
Ah the three-row, family-sized SUV that is all the rage today. Abound on America’s highways are the Honda Pilot, GMC Acadia, new Chevy Traverse, Ford Explorer, Nissan Pathfinder, Dodge Durango, Volkswagen Atlas and others. The Toyota Highlander used to just be a plain-jeans wearing cousin of the Lexus RX300. However, now it has its own identity as the mid-sized Toyota Read more
What times we live in … For the first time in the United States, the sporty prancing cat is entering the diesel market. We thought just an SUV from Jaguar was forward-thinking and enabled the company to stay current with other luxury brand offerings, such as the Audi Q5 and BMW X3 / X5 / X6 and Porsche Macan. The company has the ability to share its platforms and technical Read more
When the Sprinter hit the shores of the United States about 15 years ago, American laborers fell in love with the van with Euro flair. Driving a van with a high roof height proved invaluable to a cadre of plumbers, electricians and flower delivery people. But what if something could be made for urban areas, something a bit smaller and easier to park but that still kept the Read more
The Cadillac CTS-V is a vehicle in the same company as the Mercedes E-Class and BMW 5-Series. Although it has American roots, it has proven itself on the Nuremburg Ring as one of the finest-handling vehicles in the world. Unfortunately, its price tag is also out-of-this-world. Luckily Cadillac offers the CTS V-Sport that offers most of the pleasure and performance without the Read more
