This is the long-awaited Jeep pickup named Gladiator, the first since 1992’s Comanche. While based on the Wrangler Unlimited four-door model, this is much more than a Wrangler with a pickup bed wedded to the back. Not since the Dodge Hellcat’s debut four years ago have so many people stopped to inspect, ride along beside …
Since buyers have long since forsaken more sensible front-drive minivans for three-row crossovers often equipped with AWD, one can imagine that the segment provides ample choices — with continuous upgrades. Very safe assumption, as the profits (and the competition) in this class virtually dictate constant updates. Under these conditions, Nissan has given the Pathfinder only …
Cute-utes, SUVs, crossover utility vehicle, crossover activity vehicle, whatever label you choose to affix to small five-door wagons flooding the market, know that these compact and subcompact vehicles are rapidly eclipsing buyers’ taste for conventional four-door small cars. And nowhere is this more notable than in the premium/luxury car segments, where this week’s Volvo XC40 …
Maine’s Maple Sunday allows the state’s numerous rural farmers to display their harvest and success at all things growing and earning a sustainable living throughout the 16 counties.

A three-row crossover based on the same uni-body platform that underpins the top-selling Jeep Grand Cherokee, the Dodge asserts itself very nicely in a segment loaded with competent full-size crossovers. For 2019, Dodge continues to …

March also brings black ice, slushy snowstorms and nasty roads …
It’s OK; you critics can sneer about the little car that used to be powered by hamsters. But those early commercials worked, planting a product seed that has led to the compact Soul leading all of its rivals on the sales charts. And Kia cheers all the way to the bank as its diminutive volume …
Our Eminent White Lexus LX570 proved competent, but didn’t demonstrate a fondness for any of these circumstances.
Maine’s Carrabassett Valley is a veritable winter playland, if you follow the axiom that there is no cold weather just bad clothing. That’s especially so if you have a vehicle to get out there and take you playing no matter what the weather, the terrain or the conditions. Ford’s F-series-based Raptor is the unique one-off …
Bavarian Motor Works was created in Germany in 1916, but didn’t officially start selling cars in America until 1975.
