The 2018 Buick Encore has become a standout in the small SUV class. There’s a lot going on inside and out of this cool little ride.

For the past two years, the SUV market has outsold the sedan market in the US to be the new leader for the market. What has made this speedy transition possible? Much of the change in the market is due to the development of the smaller SUVs that feel like a sedan on the road and offer you more space in the cabin for the cargo you need to take along with you.

Big Money and Big Moves for FCA

For the past few years, FCA has been the automotive group that we’ve looked at as missing out on the profits and the success that have been enjoyed by some of the other automakers in the industry. As a direct competitor in the US with Ford and GM, FCA is looked at as the third of the Detroit Big Three to make it one that has to be able to compete. When you look at what FCA offers for the driving experience, you might think they are having troubles financially, and that was true until the past couple of years. (more…)

A Convertible that Outsells the Coupe

The thought of a two-door, three if you count the hatch, SUV is one that seems a bit strange for most of us to fathom, but Land Rover has been offering us the Range Rover Evoque Coupe with this layout for a few years. This setup seems a bit different, but it was the basis of being able to offer this SUV as a convertible as well, which also seems like an odd choice when you’re looking for an SUV to drive. Typically, we like to think of an SUV as a rugged and capable model that can do much more on and off the road. (more…)

This is an SUV that brings you the drive you’re looking for and the fuel mileage you’ll want when this is the three-row family vehicle you choose. (more…)
