Scout is back. Well, almost...

So many EVs, so little time: 2026 Hyundai Ioniq 9, 2025 Dodge Charger 4-door, 2025 Chevrolet Blazer SS, 2025 Volvo EX90 Performance Ultra

A few years back, I named Mazda’s CX-30 my Zoomie Car of the Year, and it remains an exceptional — and quick — small SUV.

The XC60 is just one of the better looking compact to mid-size SUVs on the market, with an interior to match.

Grand Highlander excels at being a comfortable people mover with more third-row legroom than Highlander and many competitors.

Not often does my wife declare her desire to own one of the 50 or so test vehicles I drive in a year, but that changed this week with the Genesis GV60.

Civic remains a high-value and practical sedan or hatchback, and now in hybrid form, it’s among the most efficient vehicles money can buy. Winner!

In a crossover crazy world, a stylish sedan is as refreshing, and rare, as a warm spring day in Wisconsin. Thank you, Kia.

You can have a lot of fun with a WRX, based on Subaru’s fine and constantly improving Impreza platform, for well shy of $50 grand.

If one is looking for a luxurious sedan type ride and accommodations mostly for short hops and city driving, well, RZ is a cushy and stylish option.
