2021 Buick Envision Avenir

My first adulthood memory of Buick, involves my grandmother, at the time just shy of 80, remarking that she needed a new car to replace her Oldsmobile 88, “a white Buick” being the only purchase consideration. The sturdy sedans that floated down the road like land yachts may be an important part of Buick’s heritage, but the present and future are all about SUVs, including the newly redesigned Envision, which falls in the middle of Buick’s line up, between the Encore and Enclave.

The Lexus UX - Tampa Bay Business & Wealth

By Rebecca AntiocoIn tech lingo, “UX” refers to user experience, the human-first approach to product design that’s not about aesthetics, but rather about creating products that delight users with their effectiveness and functionality. In the automotive world, Lexus’ UX is a diminutive crossover that slots below the NX, RX, GX, and LX in the luxury automaker’s extensive SUV lineup.
We could look at the UX purely from the user experience point of view, but the appeal of an automobile has as much t...

Beyond Fast Food: Exploring Phoenix Drive Thrus in the New Chevy Blazer

There is a seemingly insatiable appetite in the U.S. market for sport-utility and crossover vehicles. Carmakers are producing new models of varying sizes on the regular – so much so that you’d need a spreadsheet to keep up with the proliferation of nameplates and which one slots where in any given manufacturer lineup. Perhaps that explains the lingering nostalgia for the old standards – the workhorse body-on-frame constructed SUVs with rugged names like Bronco, Wrangler, and Trailblazer.

Pack Up + Go… – Southwest Lifestyle Media

My friend Elise and I wanted to plan a weekend getaway. The discussions went like this:
“We should do a girls getaway.”
“Yes! Where should we go?”
“Somewhere cooler, where we can hike, eat some good food, explore.”
“Yes! Let’s do it. We’ll look at dates and decide on a location.”
Same conversation whenever we’d get together. For about a year. We’d throw around dates, come up with some potential destinations, but family, work, apathy got in the way of our grand ideas.

2019 Jaguar I-Pace

The Jaguar I-Pace
is everything you’d expect from a luxury car, and more than you would from an
electric vehicle (EV). The case for EVs, in general, is complex, with
considerations like environmental impact, practicality, range anxiety, and
issues of substance and style coming into play. I’d argue that the I-Pace has
the last two, in spades.


I-Pace’s accolades
are many: World Car of the Year, World Car Design of the Year, and World Green
Car for 2019, European Car of the Year, and one of Aut...

Test Drive: 2019 Subaru Ascent

“Love. It’s what
makes a Subaru, a Subaru.” It’s hard to argue with the popular automaker’s latest
advertising slogan. Hard, also, for my 13-year-old not to repeat it every time
we went somewhere in the new Ascent, Subaru’s first three-row vehicle and the
biggest vehicle it’s ever built.


Indeed, people love
their Subarus; they are second only to Toyota in terms of owner loyalty, according
to Edmunds 2018 Loyalty Report, leaping from 45 to 61 percent over the course
of a decade. This is due,...
