2027 Infiniti QX65 First Drive: The FX Spirit Returns, With One Loud Caveat
Infiniti has been looking for a spark, and the 2027 QX65 aims to bring emotion back into the brand. This is not just another luxury crossover meant to blend in.

2026 Honda Passport TrailSport Winter testing and Family Duty
The Honda Passport TrailSport returns for 2026 with a refresh that finally unlocks the potential this model always had. The previous version seemed capable on paper, but not as cohesive in real-world driving. Honda tightened the formula this year. After two full weeks of winter testing, the transformation is clear: the refreshed Passport TrailSport drives, rides, and feels better built. The V6 remains smooth and predictable. The cabin is spacious and usable for families.

The e-Power Revolution: How Nissan's Forbidden Crossover Seduced Europe
We had the opportunity to taste a few forbidden fruits in Europe this Fall. In France, it was the Nissan Qashqai e-Power which finally feels like a complete product. The previous generation was compact and basic. The 2025 Tekna+ version looks and feels like it grew up, both in design and substance.
