#wow #whoa I don't often use hashtag adjectives like that when describing my time in cars but the Cadillac CT4-V is worthy of it.  The Blackwing version is smoking fast and sexy.  A great performance vehicle that rivals Mercedes AMG and BMW M series performance cars.  Take a listen. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/garfield/support

Hybrid vehicles are a good way to save money on gas - especially as the price of fuel is on the else - and the new Lexus ES300h combines the comfort of the LS500 I drove a few weeks ago with the fuel economy of last week's UX 250h. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/garfield/support

This is the type of sedan that I want to be driven in while sitting in the rear seat.  Comfy, spacious luxurious.  It's not the cheapest vehicle in its class and you know my thoughts on the touchpad but this sure is a fine ride.  --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/garfield/support

It's been a while since I've test driven an Acura and the all-new MDX refreshed my thoughts on the brand as it refreshed the popular SUV.  The ride is smooth and the cabin is sweet but the infotainment system still lacks behind. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/garfield/support

So this may not have been my favorite vehicle to test drive but the new Chevy Equinox is definitely capable of getting from Point A to Point B with a little attitude.  The color of this particular CUV caught me off guard but the features were mostly standard and the price is decent.  Listen here to my thoughts. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/garfield/support

If you don't associate trucks having a lot of style and comfort then you need to listen to my show a lot more.  Trucks are sometimes more luxurious than typical cars or SUVs and the new GMC Sierra I was driving recently fits that bill.  This rig is big yet handles nicely and is fully appointed with great features as it was the upscale Denali edition.  Listen here to my thoughts. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/garfield/support

My Buick envy continues as I had the opportunity to drive the 2022 Envision this past week.  Yes my parents would love it (they are Buick fans) but the brand is aiming for a younger buyer with its sculpted looks and great features.  This particular model was the Avenir upgrade which had almost everything you can add.  Take a listen and enjoy the comfort. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/garfield/support

Last week I talked about how big and comfy the new Chevy Tahoe was.  Well if you want something even BIGGER take a listen to my thoughts on the 2022 GMC Yukon XL Denali.  Are you kidding me?  My whole fraternity could fit in this monster.  I mean I couldn't even fit the whole photo of the SUV here! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/garfield/support

After spending a week in this special-edition Corolla I found it to be affordable and a nice move by Toyota to configure this unique-looking and lower-priced offering.  Take a listen to my thoughts. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/garfield/support
