Road Test: 2020 Lexus RC350
The Lexus RC350 truly luxurious in every sense of the word. It has an amazing exterior design, a high-tech interior and a surprisingly smooth and effortless ride aided by all of the latest and greatest safety and driver assist technologies.
Road Test: 2019 Mercedes-Benz A220 4MATIC
While A Class represents their entry point into the Luxury vehicle market, this A220 came equipped with every upgrade package Mercedes could throw at it. And that’s just fine by me.
Road Test: 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit
One of Jeep’s biggest selling points is the versatility and capability each and every one of their vehicles have, and the 2020 version of the Grand Cherokee is no exception. Still sticking to the same generation that was introduced back in 2011, the Grand Cherokee enters 2020 perhaps a little long in the tooth, but if you’ve driven one you can clearly see Jeep is sticking with the ‘If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it’ mantra as it continues to perform as good or better than its competitors.
Road Test: 2020 Buick Encore
Not much changes for the Buick Encore in 2020. The more powerful version of the 1.4L turbocharged engine has been discontinued and besides that just some minor tweaks to options available on certain trims.
Road Test: 2020 Toyota Rav4 XSE Hybrid AWD
The RAV4 is one of the original small CUV/SUVs and is now entering the second year of its fifth generation and is still going strong. There are a plethora of trims to choose from at a lot of different price points which means it will appeal to lots of different people. Our XSE Hybrid AWD model finds itself near the top of the food chain and certainly did not disappoint.
Road Test: 2019 Toyota 86
The Toyota 86 fills a market that few other vehicles available today can as a relatively inexpensive, 2+2 seater, rear-wheel drive sports car that is as fun to customize as it is to drive. A well-balanced chassis, somewhat peppy engine and a simple design add to the fun and have allowed the 86 to achieve great success since debuting as the Scion FR-S back in 2012.
Road Test: 2019 Toyota RAV4 Trail AWD
The Toyota RAV4 is completely brand new for 2019 and is the first RAV4 to benefit from Toyota’s New Global Architecture platform. The new model features an all-new design both inside and out and a new powertrain that delivers more power and better fuel economy. Many of the same models return from the previous generation including the slightly off-road oriented Trail model which is featured here.
Road Test: 2019 Honda Passport Touring
This mid-sized cross-over fits nicely between Honda’s CR-V and Pilot offerings while sharing both their Pilot and Ridgeline’s same wheelbase. The Passport is 6 inches shorter than its larger 3 row Pilot sibling, and is really designed for those folks that don’t need to be hauling the entire kids team with them when they head up-country to test the vehicles light Off-Road capability. The exterior has a sturdy almost rugged looking appeal that presents well as the Off-Road AWD offering that Honda has brought to compete in the segment.

Road Test: 2019 Mercedes-AMG C 43 4Matic Wagon
It’s not often that we here in Canada get a vehicle that isn’t also going to be sold in the United States, but luckily for us the Mercedes-AMG C 43 Wagon is the most recent example. The car shares most if not all of its main mechanical components with the C 43 Sedan, Coupe and Cabriolet but also adds in the distinct wagon appearance that seems to be going the way of the dodo bird.
