Author: Greg Wiesen

With a BA in English and a love of all things riding on four wheels (or six wheels if we’re talking about a dually, and you know we are), Greg Wiesen took the automotive journalism field by storm thanks to his dynamic writing style and ability to articulate the unintelligible. For more than a decade, Greg has lent his skills to writing about a wide range of topics, but exploring the latest cars, trucks, and SUVs has become his true passion. Now, if he could just convince Lamborghini to send him a Countach in exchange for a review, everything would be perfect.

What’s With Tariffs and the Auto Industry?

What’s With Tariffs and the Auto Industry?

That’s a great question, but the answer isn’t quite as simple as you (and I) might want it to be; there are a lot of moving parts involved, after all. The short answer is that, at this moment, nothing is happening with tariffs that impact the auto industry, though if the proposed 25% tariffs on […]

There’s no shortage of used SUVs out there these days, and even if you restrict things to subcompact models, you’ll still find a wide range of available vehicles. One that (rightly) gets a lot of attention is the Ford Bronco Sport, the smaller sibling to the relatively recently resurrected Bronco. When one looks at a […]

Does the 2025 Acadia Denali Live Up to GMC Luxury?

GMC has an interesting position in the overall lineup of GM brands. Where Chevy has a clear place as the brand meant to meet the needs of the widest range of drivers and Cadillac is the high-end luxury brand, GMC lands somewhere in between. It shares a lot with Chevy in terms of its models […]

2025 Hyundai Santa Cruz: New Features and Exciting Trims

The Hyundai Santa Cruz is a bit of a unique vehicle in the auto industry: it’s generally seen as a compact truck and compared to other models like the Ford Maverick, but its design isn’t entirely that of a pickup. It’s a bit of a blend between the looks of an SUV plus the capability […]

Does a Redesign Reveal a Reinvigorated Nissan Murano?

Does a Redesign Reveal a Reinvigorated Nissan Murano?

Short answer: yes. Longer answer: all it takes is one look at what Nissan has done with the Murano for the 2025 model year and its full redesign to see that they’re looking to break the mold a bit with their midsize SUV. I’m not going to say that this is revolutionary or anything, but […]

The elements that have enhanced the updated Buick Envision as a more luxurious SUV are comprehensive and found across the vehicle, inside and out.
