PINEHURST, NY — May 27, 2020 — The 2020 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid we had this week was something of a surprise. Every week our car is a surprise, really, but this one was different. It looked different; it reacted differently right from the ‘start’ button; and it was a mystery to unravel from that moment until now. We are big …

By John and Laurie Wiles
I think both Laurie and I had a lot of fun driving the 2020 Genesis G70 RWD (Rear Wheel Drive) 3.3T Sport. Not one being afraid to steal good words from somewhere else, Genesis writes, “The award winning G70 redefines the sports sedan with an unmatched combination of performance, design and standard luxury features.” Good statement. This really is a …

Driving Me Crazy: 2020 Hyundai Elantra GT N LINE M/T By JOHN and LAURIE WILES
JOHNNY: Yes, what you see is what is in our garage, a 2020 Hyundai Elantra GT N LINE M/T. That’s a mouthful, and here’s what it means. The GT Elantra is the Grand Touring model, which also means it’s a smaller, fun, runabout. The “N” in N Line comes from the driving test center, Nürburgring, Germany, and the Hyundai’s huge R&D …

By JOHN and LAURIE WILES
PINEHURST, NC — April 29, 2020 — Writing about the 2020 BMW M235i xDrive Gran Coupe is rapidly becoming a more demanding job than I thought. See the one in the picture?

PINEHURST, NC — April 15, 2020 — If you follow our column or listen occasionally to our show, you know that we are Hyundai fans.

By JOHN and LAURIE WILES
PINEHURST, NC — April 9, 2020 — Billed as a Sports Activity Coupe, the BMW X6 that we have sitting in our garage in Mineral White Metallic is much, MUCH bigger than you would think.

By JOHN and LAURIE WILES
PINEHURST, NC — March 24, 2020 — Way back in 1998, Daimler Chrysler came up with the idea of a luxury van. They called in Pacifica.
