The Mercedes CLE Convertible Proves Not Every Car Needs To Be Sporty
The CLE droptop is a luxury car first. As it should be. Over the past decades, the big three German luxury brands have injected an unhealthy amount of sportiness into even their most-relaxed models. Even German people movers have an overly stiff suspension and incredibly quick steering, offering buyers a sense of performance in a car they’ll be driving back and forth to work. This stuff belongs on M cars and AMGs, yes, but for the rest of them, comfort and luxury should be the priority. ... Read more

The 2025 Volvo EX90 Still Needs Ironing Out
The EX90 has good range, charges quickly, and is serenely quiet. But a lot of stuff doesn’t work. The Volvo EX90 is the Swedish brand's first electric SUV on a dedicated platform and just one of a handful of electric three-rows on sale in the United States today. Its only real competitors are the Kia EV9, Rivian R1S, and Tesla Model X—three solid machines with lots of range, fast charging, and for the most part, software-enabled features that function well. The same can't be said of ... Read more

2025 Kia Niro Is Basically the Same But Slightly More Expensive
The Kia Niro is a vehicular Swiss Army Knife for those looking for a cost-effective A-to-B daily driver. It’s just big enough to have reasonable utility and the option for three different drivetrains (hybrid, PHEV, or EV) gives buyers plenty of choices depending on their lifestyle and commuting needs. It certainly has its shortcomings, like a second row of seats that does not fold flat, or the lack of an AWD option for those who live in snowy climates. However, the Kia Niro remains a solid, ...
