Kia Sorento Hybrid EX FWD (2022)
The Sorento is Kia’s mid-sized, three-row SUV that looks great and offers a hybrid option that makes this SUV miserly in fuel. We saw a satisfying 37 MPG during our one week with the Sorento, which really says something about the efficiency of a Hybrid system, especially on a larger vehicle such as this one. Read more
BMW iX xDrive 50 (2022)
The all-new iX is incredibly different in many ways and it is clearly signaling a new direction for BMW. The look and feel are unique and yes, for a lot of BMW purists, this is not what they like but its ok, the world is moving forward and so is BMW. The design is polarizing, some really like it while others don’t really care for it. Read more

Kia EV6 GT-Line RWD (2022)

Recently I was invited to try out a new tire from Cosmo Tires in an off-road setting in none other than Moab, Utah. For those that are off road enthusiasts, all you need to do is mention Moab and instantly, you will get a reaction…. “On my bucket list!” ….. “Oh wow! I have always wanted to go there” ….. “I hear it’s one of the best off-roading places in the United States.” They are all true! Naturally, I said yes and was excited about the opportunity. Being a sports and classic car enthusiast and afficionado, I had never done any sort of off-roading and I joked with the organizers that the biggest obstacle I’ve gone over is a speed bump at the mall.

Kia Stinger GT-Line RWD (2022)
The Kia Stinger is a drop-dead gorgeous near premium sports sedan, that looks great from every angle. The execution of the design is a combination of elegance and sportiness that works perfectly for this car. There is a striking front-end that features the new Kia logo as well as a restrained grill that is unlike today’s over designed luxury models. My favorite though, is the simple yet perfect flow of the difficult to get right C pillar design. For some, like BMW, there is always the 
Hofmeister Kink, which pays an homage to Wilhelm Hofmeister, BMW’s chief designer from 1955 to 1970. Yet, for others, like the Infiniti Q sedans & coupes, there is a curved zig-zag shape that some simply say, why? Well, for the Stinger, it’s a swooping roof line that blends seamlessly into the C pillar and door opening that makes it look balanced, purposeful and yet, functional enough for people to enter and exit the rear seats. Well done, Kia! The rear of the Stinger is equally dramatic, flanked by oversized quad oval exhaust tips, that make the car look aggressive and powerful. Keep in mind, 
when sitting in traffic, we all spend a lot of time looking at the back end of the car ahead of us. This is a nice way for manufacturers to captivate people and create brand awareness. At least for me, it does. Read more

Kia Carnival SX (2022)
For some unexplained reason, mini vans aren’t cool, and they haven’t been for a number of years. Most families today feel that the ruggedness and taller stance of an SUV vehicle instead will give them an air of adventure and excitement that mini vans just don’t convey. I believe this is going to change, if what I drove recently is any indication. Kia has recently introduced their all-new Carnival and it fits perfectly in both worlds. It has the outdoorsy, adventure look of an SUV plus all the great features and benefits of a van. Read more
