2016 Nissan Titan XD First Drive – What a HD Tundra Could Be?
Last week, I had a great opportunity to spend time with the all-new 2016 Nissan Titan XD, Nissan engineers and designers around Phoenix, Arizona. After spending hours driving, towing, hauling and off-roading, I learned a lot about this truck. Here is what I discovered.
This is the setup where the 2016 Nissan Titan XD excels. With the 9,600 lbs load and a luxurious, comfortable cabin in the Platinum Reserve, consumers who tow a lot will be taking a close look at this package.
2016 Toyota Corolla SE – Winter Drive Review
Call me old fashioned, but when wintry weather arrives, I like a big heavy truck or car, wide rubber tires and a large engine. I know, ice is ice, but still I just feel better driving in those conditions. Yet, this time, I had the light, 18.L four-cylinder 2016 Toyota Corolla SE with special tires in my driveway. All my talk about needing the heavier vehicle was mostly proven wrong. The Corolla SE did pretty well and even carried my family of 5 around town.

The RX styling is a big departure from the previous generation.

Auto shows, like the recent one – the 2015 L.A. show – are great places to look at new products and upgrades to existing ones. They are also great places to pick up gossip between automakers like Toyota being pissed at Ford over a failed hybrid collaboration. Like really pissed.

2015 Lexus ES 300h – Defies Hybrid Expectations
For years, hybrids have often gotten a bad rap of being pokey to drive and underpowered (see: Prius). This is quite often true with auto makers sacrificing performance for fuel economy. However, if one automaker has gotten hybrids figured out, it is Toyota and Lexus. This Lexus hybrid quite simply defies expectations.
While great styling is often in the eye of the beholder, it is hard to dismiss the classic luxury styling of the 2015 Lexus ES 300h.
