This week’s Corsair compact-class luxury crossover has a proper, recognizable name that you can remember. Yes, some will relate Corsair to the Barbary …
This is the all-new Highlander, the three-row crossover that handily outsold every rival in America (Explorer, Traverse, Pilot, Durango, Pathfinder, CX-9) last year. While not the new Highlander Hybrid, the twin-electric motor/gas engine, CVT-shifted hybrid that promises 34 mpg, this high-end Limited model clearly illustrates everything that is good with Highlander and why it now …
While the release of Ford’s reimagined Bronco utility vehicle sucks all of the oxygen out of the room, the bread-and-butter vehicle that helps to make lifestyle trucks like the Bronco possible makes another appearance Downeast.
