Now, much like Hyundai/Kia’s other vehicles, this design hasn’t hit it out of the park with everyone. But, if you ask me, I…

These days, the list of reasons to stay out of Florida feels like it grows longer by the minute. But even if you take politics and stifling summer heat out of the equation (as hard as that may be), there are still plenty of reasons to be afraid of Georgia’s dingleberry. Florida Man and Florida Woman could be lurking…

The Ineos Grenadier is never going to outsell the Toyota RAV4, but it wasn’t meant to sell in huge numbers.
