Nissan redesigned its venerable Frontier mid-size pickup truck for the 2022 model year, and it has a lot of great things going for it. I spent a week with the updated truck back in December in Chicago and liked it.

Like most people, the two-car garage behind our house has become quite the mess over the years. Between the accumulation of things that don’t belong in the house or our cars, and the daily wear and tear of vehicles dripping fluids onto the concrete floor, it’s not exactly a showplace.

The Lexus LC 500 and LC 500h are the result of one of the more incredible stories in recent automotive history, in which CEO Akio Toyoda gave Lexus the green light to build a concept car almost exactly as it was shown – a true rarity in the industry.

The Mazda CX-5 first launched just a few years back with the 2013 model year, and quickly rose to become the best-selling vehicle in the entire Mazda line here in the US. With over 370,000 global sales last year, and representing about 1/4 of Mazda’s total sales, it’s always a risky proposition to make changes to such a popular and important part of any manufacturer’s lineup. 

Audi continues to evolve their small car offering. In the 2015 model year, the A3 sedan changed body style, moving away from a hatchback toward a sporty four-door. Likewise, Audi makes this vehicle even more exciting by adding a 2+2 cabriolet (aka convertible) to the lineup.

The Lincoln MKZ is the luxury variant of the Ford Fusion. Given the fact that the Fusion is one of my favorite mid-size cars in recent years, Lincoln has a pretty solid head start with the MKZ.
