Why the 2016 Kia Sorento will Continue the Company’s Success

One can trace Kia's rise in popularity to two things: a focus on proper design and a shift from economy to quality. The carmaker was once seen as a budget solution for those who weren't concerned about buying a good car. Now, they're making good cars and competing with Honda, Toyota, and Ford. Their turn started when they hired noted automotive designer Peter Schreyer 9 years ago. The shift towards quality continues with the introduction of the 2016 Kia Sorento. Reviews are strong. Buzz is building. Many Kia dealers are moving their older inventory to make room for the most popular model, taking advantage of the reduced gas prices to fuel America's love for the sports utility vehicle. (more…)

Lexus Hopes to have a Luxury FCEV by 2017

The fuel cell vehicle industry is barely getting going and Toyota is already hoping to expand into their luxury brand, Lexus. Their goal: to do for the FCEV industry what they did with the hybrid industry with the Prius. The word "Prius" is synonymous with the word "hybrid," which is what they're hoping to happen with the Mirai. If they are able to take the same technology and put it into play with the Lexus LS, they will be trying to beat Mercedes and other luxury lines to the punch in this segment.

With no upgrades or updates for the 2015 model year, Toyota has chosen to leave a good thing alone, and the Highlander is certainly a good thing. The Highlander offers a driving experience that is comforta...
