Auto Review: 2024 Chevy Colorado ZR1I actually prefer mid-size trucks or full-sized ones. Easier to maneuver and park, plus I personally don't schlep a lot of things where I would need a large truck. Chevy's mid-sized Colorado has long been a solid vehicle and its ZR1 upgrade adds features for off-roading.

Auto Review: 2024 Buick Envista AvenirValue. That's the first descriptor I have for this 4-door CUV. Buick did a nice job of keeping the price tag relatively low yet still providing a comfy and smooth ride with some nice touches.

Auto Review: 2024 GMC Hummer EV 3XIn what turned out to be my longest review in the history of my radio program, I could have gone on about the new electric-powered Hummer. It's massive, quiet, fast, and a total head-turner. I love the infinity roof with opaque sky panels and most all of its unique luxury and looks. Despite its heavy weight and lofty price tag, this machine is not for the faint-of-heart yet will leave your heart pounding after each ride.

Auto Review: 2024 Kia Sorento X-Pro SX-PrestigeI continue to be impressed with Kia and all of their vehicles I test drive - from gas-powered to the EVs. The new Sorento has been redesigned a bit with a more sleek look and two new trims were added this year. The top-of-the-line SX-Prestige model is built for a more rugged drive off-road. The 3-row SUV is capable of towing up to 4,500 lbs and has several nice upgrades including leather seating and wheels.

Auto Review: 2024 BMW X2It's been a while since I've test driven a BMW and it is about time. The brand is amongst my favorite OEMs as they put sexy beasts with a lot of luxury features. The X2 is a small, luxury SUV that is comfy and comes in a relatively decent price point. I do have a few suggestions for the company when it comes to this vehicle but maybe that's why the price is "decent."

Auto Review: TAWA Auto Round Up Recap #1Every Spring I get the opportunity to test drive a slew of new cars, CUVs, SUVs, and more at the Texas Auto Writers Association Auto Round Up. Think of it as Coachella for vehicles. Manufacturers bring some of the newest rides as TAWA members buckle up for two days of tire kicking and pedal pushing. This year's event was held in Decatur, Texas, at Eagle Canyon Raceway which meant we would get the chance to open up a few of these hot rods while also playing around on streets and highways. Over the next few weeks I will be breaking down my thoughts on these vehicles to give listeners ideas of what to look for when thinking about your next purchase.

Auto Review: 2024 Chevy Colorado ZR2 BisonMid-size trucks are my jam as I find them easier to drive and park than full-size monsters. Throw in some off-road capabilities and we have a match made in heaven. Chevy got together with AEV for a collab to produce the Bison version of its popular Colorado ZR2 truck and the result is a winner (other than one thing) Listen to my review as heard on "The High-Tech Texan Show" on KPRC 950AM (Houston) and iHeartRadio (worldwide). --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/garfield/support

Auto Review: 2024 Ram 1500 LimitedFull-size pickup truck are the best-selling vehicles in the U.S. so it is no surprise I test drive a lot of trucks, especially because I live in Texas "truck country." Ram has most always delivered capable monsters with big engines, lots of towing capacity, and comfy interiors. The 1500 Limited edition follows the script by providing all of that.

Auto Review: 2024 Kia EV9 LandThe EV9 has been near the top of my EV list since the first time I tested the original version a few years ago. Several iterations since, Kia has launched 4 new versions of the 3-row SUV: Light, Wind, Land, GT-Line. The Land has a lot of the amenities listed as standard and packs the same 379 hp as the top-of-the-heap GT-Line.

Auto Review: 2024 Yukon Denali UltimateA lot of superlatives here on the latest GMC Yukon with "Denali" and "Ultimate" as upgrades.

Auto Review: 2024 Cadillac XT4 SportWhen you think of Cadillac you may associate the brand with luxury, elegance, and price. You are correct on two of those, at least with the XT4. This is the lowest-priced Caddy in the lineup and the compact CUV is packed with nice features including a futurist 33" display capable of 9K viewing.

Auto Review: 2024 Mercedes-AMG EQEMercedes once again partners with AMG but this time they didn't perk up the engine, per se. This is due to the EQE being an all-electric vehicle and there is no gas-powered engine to play with. They did find a way to tweak with the motor to give it super speedy acceleration and creature comforts of a luxury vehicle. But the price may cause you to hit the brakes.
