The version of the Genesis G70 that will be sold on the automaker’s home peninsula, and found it to be a compelling alternative to the likes of the the BMW 3 Series, Audi A4, and Mercedes-Benz C-Class. I got my first crack at the car in its North American production form this month in the southeastern hills of Maine. That means this version has been tuned for a country with fewer speedbumps and more enthusiast drivers, and provides an opportunity to dig a little deeper into what the G70 means for the brand at home and abroad. For...Continue reading »

Before purchasing a vehicle, it is a good idea to check what your credit score is, so you can get an idea of what auto loan options you will have available. There are several ways to rebuild a credit rating before taking out a loan, and some ways to do this include acquiring a secured credit card and paying off all existing debts on time. Although many car dealerships will say they have no problem working with people who have bad credit, these individuals should still expect to receive higher interest rates on any loans. However, as long...Continue reading »

Bumping the 2019 Mazda MX-5 Miata’s power from 155 horses to 181, plus little interior upgrades such as a telescoping steering wheel were more than enough to make the appealing roadster even more so. But there’s yet another bonus in store for those that pick up the new Mazda: more efficiency. As initially spotted by industry watcher Bozi Tatarevic, the EPA released fuel economy numbers for the new model, and they’re better than the 2018’s. And between the automatic and manual versions, the manual sees the biggest...Continue reading »

I went into my weeklong loan of the Smart ForTwo Electric Drive expecting to dislike it. Seven days later, I didn’t find anything that had changed my mind. But before I get into all the reasons you shouldn’t buy an electric Smart, I think it’s only fair that I offer up some positives. First, like all Smart ForTwo models, the ED is extremely maneuverable and has the best turning radius in the business. Second … well, that 22.8-foot turning radius is really something special. For $24,650, the Smart ForTwo Electric...Continue reading »

The 2019 Buick LaCrosse Sport Touring is presumably a new, sportier version of Buick’s large sedan. And on the surface, it does look more exciting. It has less chrome trim than its counterparts, the grille gets a body color surround and a black wire mesh insert. It has a simple little spoiler at the back, 19-inch wheels, and the all-important badging. We can’t imagine Ford is thrilled at the use of the “ST” nomenclature on display at the back, though. Unfortunately, Buick hasn’t really done anything to actually...Continue reading »

Aston Martin wanted to create a car that has no problem throwing down its gloves in front of a Ferrari 812 Superfast. That might seem like a tall order, but knowing what sort of punch the new Vantage and the DB11 AMR can pack, we have no reason to doubt that Aston Martin was ready to take another huge step forward in terms of performance and refinement. Not to mention in design: The result, the DBS Superleggera you see here, is a $304,995 V12 powerhouse with unmatched presence. Seven hundred and fifteen horsepower, 664 lb.-ft. of torque,...Continue reading »
