Any pundits and politicians predicting a quick, painful end to the electric vehicle trend are in for another disappointment. Ford Motor Company issued its mid-year sales report this week.

Honda is one of the most reliable car brands in the world, so if you're looking for a new SUV to drive, it is probably one of the brands you're looking at alongside the likes of Chevrolet, Ford, Hyundai, Kia, Mazda, Nissan, Subaru, and Toyota.

Sedans are one of the best examples of Darwinism in the automobile business. The companies that still make them — mainly Toyota, Honda, Hyundai — do a fine job with them. This notion came into sharp focus for me during a recent test drive of the 2025 Toyota Camry. Once derided as the color beige manifested onto four wheels, the latest Camry has sleek, edgy styling, a nicely appointed interior and hybrid power. I spent a week with an XSE model, and I have five thoughts.

Consumer Reports Names The Most Reliable 3-Year-Old Used Cars, SUVs And Trucks

I feel like we don't talk enough about Honda's luxury arm, Acura. The TLX model is a relatively young Acura nameplate, dating back to 2014. In 2021, the second generation went on sale as a rival to the likes of BMW 3 Series, Mercedes C-Class, and Audi A4 to name a few. Acura is a small brand compared to the German premium trio, and the sales confirm it.

Although the SUV segment provides endless options in 2024, most of them, especially larger models, are sometimes far beyond budget.

According to Shakey's website, this pizza parlor is only in California, North Carolina, and Washington state in the U.S. now. This was my family's go-to pizza joint when my father was stationed with the Air Force outside of Omaha, Nebraska.
