The #Lexus RC 350 doesn’t care that it isn’t the fastest or most fun two-door coupe out there. Sometimes, you just want to sit back and relax, and the RC loves letting you do that. Besides, if you want to go fast, just get the RC F.

The #Toyota Tundra may not be as fancy as other big trucks out there, but it’ll happily do it’s job of carrying on for absolute ages, towing, hauling, off-roading and doing the stuff a truck is meant to do.

The #Maserati Levante GTS may be a flawed beast in a stylish Brioni suit, but you can’t fault it for making a somewhat boring segment interesting.

The #MercedesAMG GLB 35 is an interesting mishmash

The #MercedesAMG GLB 35 is an interesting mishmash of personalities. On one hand, it goes like stink but falls short in refinement and driving excitement. But on the other hand, it’s a total winner in terms of packaging, practicality, and styling. We’d definitely choose this over a GLA 35. Boxy SUVs for the win!

It’s a #Jeep thing, you’ll never understand — until you lick a stamp and send it through a muddy puddle.

The PHEV may not be the best Wrangler powertrain you can buy, but the 4xe is every bit as fun as the “regular” Wrangler.

Every so often, a car comes along that takes a while to understand. The 2021 #Volkswagen Arteon is one of them — it isn’t a powerful bruiser like the Kia Stinger GT, nor is it enormous and cushy like a Chrysler 300. Instead, it’s a practical, comfortable, and efficient cruiser that’s chock-full of toys and looks incredibly handsome.

Miss the days when pickups weren’t unnecessarily

Miss the days when pickups weren’t unnecessarily huge? Say no more: the 2022 #Ford Maverick is here.

Base truck is FWD-only, hybrid w/191 hp combined, and sips 5.9L/100 km (or 40-ish mpg) according to Ford. AWD and gas-only EcoBoost turbo-four w/250 hp is available. Tows up to 4,000 pounds in non-hybrid flavour, lots of clever storage, cool interior, smaller than the Santa Cruz, Ridgeline, Canyon, Colorado, etc.

Best of all? Starts at $25,900 CDN.

If you don’t mind taking things slowly, the 2021

If you don’t mind taking things slowly, the 2021 Subaru Forester is surprisingly refined, packs a spacious and functional interior, and of course, it’s more than capable on rough roads and in less-than-ideal weather.

Swipe ➡️ to see the surprise the Nissan Sentra SR now packs for 2021.

That’s right — there’s three pedals and a wobbly stick in the centre console! It’s one of the few compacts you can buy where you don’t have to go for the super-base trim if you want to row your own gears.

The 2021 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport is wide, as soon as it leaves a parking spot in Toronto, developers put up condos there.

Well, fine. Maybe it isn’t THAT big, but it’s one of the few two-row SUVs that can comfortably fit three fully grown teenagers in the back seat.

Going for the hybrid isn’t always about saving gas — in the case of the refreshed 2021 Honda Accord, it adds a level of smoothness and refinement you don’t get with the gas-only variants.

As far as luxury SUVs with three rows of seats go, the redesigned 2022 Acura MDX is a solid all-around package.

THE GOOD: Smooth V6 engine, sharp styling, excellent interior, good value for the segment.

THE BAD: Transmission can be lazy in manual mode, suspension is too squishy in its default mode, infotainment can be distracting at times, third row is tight.
