Posted February 26 2013 11:12 AM by Truck Trend

We recently called on the 2013 Acura RDX AWD for a winter-time trip to the Rocky Mountains. While the weather cooperated for nearly the entire trip, the added ride height and all-wheel drive came in handy in a few...

Our Cars: 2013 Kia Sportage SX Turbo is Quick, But Does it Have More to Offer?

Posted October 2 2012 10:40 AM by Truck Trend

You never see the Kia Sportage at the top of the compact crossover sales charts, and after one showed up in our garage, we started to wonder why. The 2013 Kia Sportage looks good, but that wasn't enough to help it place...

Posted September 13 2012 10:03 AM by Truck Trend

Before a much-anticipated trip to Las Vegas later on in the week, I was given the choice to take a 2013 Kia Sorento, which at the moment, seemed like a blessing since I would have five other passengers (and all our...

Sampling the 2013 Porsche Cayenne Diesel

Posted August 20 2012 04:36 PM by Angus MacKenzie

The idea of a diesel-powered Porsche used to be preposterous. Of course, so was the idea of a Porsche SUV. Yet, said SUV is Porsche's best seller and a diesel-powered version is about to arrive at dealers across North...

Our Cars: 2012 Nissan Frontier - Keeping up with the Raptor

Posted August 2 2012 07:12 AM by Truck Trend

Plans change when keys to a 2012 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor land on your desk. That's exactly what happened to associate online editor Christian Seabaugh, who got the off-roading itch when he was assigned to evaluate the big...

Our Cars: Porsche Cayenne S Hybrid - Fix Those Brakes!

Posted January 26 2012 01:37 PM by Zach Gale

Switching from the ultra-long brake pedal travel of the Chevy Camaro RS convertible to the ultra-grabby Porsche Cayenne S Hybrid brakes was quite an adjustment, but I still find both setups unacceptable. Maybe a next-gen...

Our Cars: Kia Sorento Long Distance Road Trip -- It Knew the Way to Santa Fe

Posted January 25 2012 03:50 PM by Truck Trend

When I texted my sister Maria that we would be driving the Sorento to Santa Fe, NM and back, she texted back, "What's it like?" I responded, "It'll be fine." After more than a week in it, to our surprise we both felt that...

Our Cars: 2011 Kia Sorento - Getting Sensitive

Posted December 5 2011 11:28 AM by Zach Gale

A 2011 Kia Sorento SX I recently drove is no BMW, and that's a good thing. Throttle sensitivity is far different in the Kia compared to our long-term BMW X3 xDrive28i . In the BMW, your choices are too much or far too...

Our Cars: 2011 Infiniti QX56 – Gremlins Here and There

Posted October 11 2011 09:14 AM by bkong

At least twice now, I've had the Blind Spot Warning system essentially crash on me as I was driving, depriving me of the little indicators near the A-pillars that inform me imminent doom is in the wings should I suddenly...

Our Cars: Jeep Grand Cherokee - Learning to live with the W5A580

Posted October 6 2011 07:46 AM by Scott Evans

Road-tripped the Grand Cherokee up to Pebble Beach last month and found it a very willing long-hauler. The transmission, which I've denigrated in the past, is far less an irritant on freeway cruises and in more relaxed...

Our Cars: 2011 BMW X3 - Interior Grace

Posted September 30 2011 07:23 AM by Truck Trend

This interior styling of the new-generation X3 was the thing that tickled my fancy most. It was put together extremely well and was completely void of any cheap bits. The wood trim looked ultra-chic and classy, as it...

Our Cars: 2011 Kia Sorento SX -- First Impressions

Posted September 27 2011 07:56 AM by Truck Trend

I drove the Sorento down to San Diego for my brother's birthday. The weekend included a birthday lunch at Phil's BBQ where my family decided that the beef ribs are definitely better than the pork. Oh, and they liked the...

Our Cars: 2012 Ford Explorer Limited -- Impressive So Far

Posted September 23 2011 07:02 AM by Truck Trend

I had limited time behind the wheel of our short-term 2012 Ford Explorer last night for my short 3-mile commute home. My first thought was how much the Explorer has grown since I last drove one more than 10 years ago. Our...
