I remember there was a catch! Amazing that Chevrolet prophesied from when they announced the Equinox EV to the spring of 2024 that they would, eventually, have a base EV around $30k. On the bright side, assuming regulation/laws remain the same, buyers should be able to transfer their credit to dealers and get a Read more

Compared to every full size suv for just riding around and carrying people the Sequioa falls short. But when we compare what this vehicle was intended then it’s actually the best full size suv toyota make. Read more

Frankly, Toyota’s mission with the Tundra, Sequoia and LX seems to be not to piss off Toyota faithful; they aren’t necessarily trying to break new ground or conquest sales from other brands selling similar vehicles. I suspect the same will be true of the upcoming 4Runner, Tacoma, GX and US Land Cruiser (likely a new Read more

Doug is selling his Defender because he just got a new E-Class wagon as a daily. His original plan was to give it to his wife to drive, but the first thing she did was scrape it on a pole coming out of a gas station, so they came to the conclusion that it was just too big for her (and she didn’t want to have to learn Read more
