Savage On Wheels

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.

Lincoln has been getting its mojo back over the last several years to better compete with foreign makes and now, it may find itself in the driver’s seat with the Corsair.

I must face the fact that pick ups are our nation’s go-to vehicles, the top three sellers by volume. Tundra’s advantage of course is that it’s a Toyota, so reliable and with better resale value than most.

No matter how cute or petit a vehicle is when it enters the U.S. auto market, it’ll expand over the years. Case in point, and it’s still cute, is Hyundai’s Kona subcompact crossover.

I have good news for retirees looking for a little luxury in a little crossover that’s easy to maneuver while packing more than its fair share of style – the Lexus UX300h.

Families love minivans for their spaciousness, easy entry and exit and those sliding side doors help seal the deal.

Trust me, VW has a hit on its hands and that glowing VW roundel on the nose will signal to all comers that there’s a trendy buyer aboard.
