Buying a car used to be a simple transaction.

How the 2025 Hyundai Palisade Joins the Luxury SUV Conversation

People think of certain names when someone mentions luxury vehicles. BMW, Audi, Mercedes-Benz, Lexus, Acura, and Bentley are some of the names synonymous with luxury driving, but notice how I didn’t mention Hyundai Motors as one of those names.

Is It Curtains for Jaguar, or Just a Cat Nap?

At first glance, it might seem like the end of days at Jaguar. The brand has been hemorrhaging models as of late, ending production of the XE, XF, and F-Type in mid-2024 and continuing to cull the lineup with the departure of the I-Pace and E-Pace towards the end of the year. This sort of […]

Can the New Giulia Keep Alfa Romeo Relevant in a Changing Market?

Alfa Romeo has always been something of a niche brand in the United States. The Italian automaker sold just under 11,000 units in 2023, earning the company a paltry 0.07 percent market share. Still, if there was one bright spot, it would have to be the Alfa Romeo Giulia. Debuting in 2016, the rear-wheel drive […]
