Auto Review: 2026 Toyota RAV4 PHEV GR Sport

Toyota's RAV4 has long been a solid SUV that can handle a bit off-roading and a good load of people and gear. The PHEV version can add almost 50 miles of electric range along with its decent gas mileage. Listen to my full review as heard on iHeartRadio.

Auto Review: Volkswagen Tiguan SEL R-Line Turbo

I don't get the opp to test drive a lot of VW vehicles so this was tough to compare with previous Tiguan models. But the upgrades with this badge give it a good amount of horsepower and some nice touches inside. Listen to my full review as heard on iHeartRadio.

Auto Review: 2026 Cadillac Optiq V-Series

EVs are fast. There is a reason the Cadillac uses the letter V for it's high-end badging on the Optiq. It stands for Very fast. Not really (Velocity max) but this electric SUV pushes 519 hp and has some amazing tech features. Listen to my full review as heard on iHeartRadio.

Auto Review: 2026 Genesis G70 3.3T Prestige Graphite

This particular upgraded version of the G70 is a mouthful but Genesis put its money where their mouth is. A sexy and fast sedan with luxury features and a fast motor will turn heads and get you wherever you go with a smile. Listen to my full review as heard on my iHeartRadio show.

Auto Review: 2026 GMC Sierra EV Denali Max Range

An EV pickup truck that is quiet enough for a phone call, fast enough to embarrass muscle cars, can tow up to 12,500 lbs, and has more comfy features than my house. Check out my full review as heard on my iHeartRadio show.

Auto Review: 2026 Nissan Frontier Pro-4X

I personally prefer mid-size trucks instead of the larger boys. Easier to park and handle, plus I don't haul a lot of things where I need a full-size. So the new Pro-4X (great badge and upgrades) could be a nice option for you should you still want to schlep things around yet feel comfy on-and-off the paved roads.

Auto Review: 2026 GMC Yukon AT4 Ultimate

Are you kidding me? 17 ft long and 5,500 lbs? This is an apartment on wheels; decorated and as comfy as a private jet. GMC's top of the line Yukon has space, tech, and power. It does come with a hefty price but it may be the only vehicle your family needs for the next decade. Listen to my full review as heard on iHeartRadio.

Auto Review: 2027 Kia Telluride X-Pro

A three-row SUV that feels premium and can handle a bit off-roading? Yes, please. And nice job by Kia for the new design and upgrades. Listen here for my full review as heard on iHeartRadio.

Auto Review: 2026 Alfa Romeo Tonale Speciale

Fun and entertaining. Those words could describe me :) but also for this Italian-made SUV. Certainly sporty with nimble handling, the Tonale makes driving a pleasure with a decent price and OK gas mileage. Listen to my full review as heard on iHeartRadio.

Auto Review: 2026 Nissan Sentra SL

Yes, sedans still exist. And Nissan continues to up its game with the Sentra. The SL version adds some very nice touches yet the price remains relatively low for what you get. Listen to my full review as heard on "The High-Tech Texan Show" on iHeartRadio.
