Weekend roadtrip thru the Midwest provoked 3 strangers to comment/compliment the 2025 #AlfaRomeo #Tonale. Is it the badge or the car?

Borrowed a 2025 #Subaru Outback for back-to-school move in. Next-gen gets bigger, but it was the perfect size, and 28mpg over 1300 miles in the rain worked very well.

Check this out. Same #SUV, same time of day. It’s the magic of the Earthy Bronze Matte coat on the 2026 #Hyundai #Palisade. U like? We’re a house divided #GenerationalCars

What launch control sounds like in a 7,000+ pound #EV #SUV that goes 0-60 mph in 2.9 seconds. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8k7e6wB/

The Cadillac #Escalade #IQ is my favorite version yet of the brand’s bestseller. The $167K sticker is my least favorite thing about it. youtu.be/jUnK5k6pwcs?...

Testing: 2025 Subaru #WRX TS 271-hp turbo flat-4 AWD planted like a tree Gonna be a good week. #blueskycars

Played around w the 2026 Bentley Flying Spur GT in top Mulliner spec. You agree it’s the best-looking #Bentley? #carsky #cars www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8kPuR27/

Road-tripped Croatia tip to toe in this #Kia Stonic. #hatchback #blueskycars www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8kkVvhX/

2025 #Ford #Maverick #Hybrid finally with #AWD but that makes even the base XL crack $30K. Worth it? I think so but Ford’s hybrid reliability concerns me. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8hWWKvN/

Redesigned 2025 #Ford Expedition gets more family-friendly and smarter. Love the standard power-split tailgate. You would too if you ever lost a watermelon to a top-hinge tailgate. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8hyF7eH/

Spent some time in the 2025 #Ford Explorer ST 3-row #SUV. Explorer still looks great, and the ST’s twin-turbo V6 rocks 400hp. #blueskycars #carsofbluesky www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8rt4e7p/

“This is so embarrassing.” My daughter, in an outtake she included in an otherwise sharp review in the 2025 Volvo Cars #EX30 #EV, Volvo’s quickest car ever. As tested: Twin-Motor Performance AWD Ultra: $48,395 0-60: 3.5 seconds Range: 253 miles www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8MVN1Lg/

Not sure what the expectation was with the 2026 Dodge #Charger Daytona, but the 4-door sedan makes for a strong performance #EV. There are too many compromises to make it a muscle car tho. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8M9GPD4/

This hack Buscaglia has given freelancers and news media another black mark.

Is the this the smallest rear wiper in automotive? Lou’s for size. #blueskycars #Volvo

2025 Ford #Bronco Stroppe honors the high-speed Baja desert racer of the 70s, but w a disconnecting stabilizer bar, Fox bypass shocks, 35-in mudders, it handled the deep Midwestern mud n muck w ease. #MAMA25SR www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8MF6XPG/

CCS port door on Scout Traveler SUV has a combine graphic honoring its Intl Harvester past. #MAMA25SR

The @Scout character line that serves as a lighted visual halo wrapping around the #EV #SUV is called an equator line. #themoreuknuh,bruh #MAMA25SR

This is what Subarus dream of. #Forester #Hybrid is the real deal #offroad, and handles the muck and mud with ease. #MAMA25SR

2025.5 Volvo #XC90 Ultra #PHEV Pros: Beautiful interior Smooth ride 33 miles of #EV range Cons: No straps to pull up 3rd row from cargo Too much touchscreen $88,695 www.tiktok.com/t/ZP86vAFMv/

Such a fun time rooting around in this Time Machine, which you could get new in 1992 for less than $14k. I had just gotten my license… www.tiktok.com/t/ZP86n7VK7/

2026 #Genesis GV70 Sport Prestige AWD this week. The luxury crossover gets and looks better, esp in Chicago Bulls trim.

Bella! Quick spin in the 2025 #AlfaRomeo #Stelvio #SUV. No Ferrari sourced V6, but it still cuts a mark of distinction in the luxury crossover space. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP86Ng2tY/

Recently tracked 2025 @volkswagen.bsky.social #GolfR with #VW PR Director Mark Gillies. It’s a proper hot hatch and smooths out the imperfect spots of Summit Point Motorsports Park. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8681bcr/

Slate Truck #EV hauls affordability and US-made chops. I dig it in person but have my doubts about the $20k or even $27k tag. www.slashgear.com/1842683/slat...

Can it live up to the hype? #Slate #EV

Redesigned 2025 #Infiniti #QX80 goes big and you gain more from the twin-turbo V6 then you lose from the old V8. The electric gear selector is lame tho. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8jtDc8U/

Tracking refreshed hot hatches from @volkswagen.bsky.social today. Gonna be a good day. #GTI #GolfR

Polarizing takes on the 7th-gen #Subaru #Outback. Some say too much family truckster, not enough wagon. Some say it looks like a Subaru #SUV. Thoughts? www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8jCKX7A/

2025 #Mini Cooper S #Convertible may not be as pure as MX-5 Miata, but it’s more practical and sophisticated. It’s drop-top fun. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8j5FDoo/

2025 #Mini John Cooper Works 2-Door Hardtop is the way to go if you go #JCW. Not as rough or spry as before, but more potent and much more sophisticated. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8jfxLQu/

I don’t think another press car has gotten this much widespread love from passersby in my 13 years of doing this as the 2025 #VW #ID.Buzz. Urban hipsters and suburban moms gawk equally.

I’d spend extra to get the Civic Hybrid over the Elantra Hybrid. Civic drives like it’s worth the $4,000 more Honda charges. #blueskycars #hybrid www.thecarconnection.com/news/1145788...

Some sights from the preview of the 2025 #chicagoautoshow. Gonna be a good one.

Subzero temps iced my impressions of the alluring Polestar 3 #EV. Looking forward to another turn in spring. www.thecarconnection.com/news/1145641...

Babe wake up. Canoo filed Chapter 7 bankruptcy.

Honda 0 SUV #EV prototype looks ready to roll into production this year in Ohio, with a targeted sale date in early 2026. www.greencarreports.com/news/1145447...

Honda 0 Saloon EV prototype coming late 2026. Does it look like a Honda?

Yous wanna see some Honda #EV prototypes debut?

#GMC Acadia is a good-looking SUV. But it has some strange mechanical choices made in the name of mpg. #carsofbluesky www.thecarconnection.com/news/1145375...

The least expensive of all the full-size #SUVs? The redesigned 2025 #NissanArmada. It’s a good get. www.motorauthority.com/news/1145289...

What do you think of this Aurora Blue Metallic coat on the 2025 #NissanMurano? I dig it.

Filming on the Natchez Trace Parkway with a Range Rover captured w a GLE rig. #Weirdcar #carsofbluesky

Getting muddy with the redesigned 2025 #NissanArmada this week. It’s the only full-size #3row #SUV that costs less than $60k, w destination.

I spy a bald guy! My daughter gets paid to help make #cartoks but I think she does it to make me goofier than in reality. #carsofbluesky Chevy Silverado #EV www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8NLoyJe/

2025 Nissan Rogue #RockCreek impresses in the Midwestern mud and muck. www.thecarconnection.com/news/1145084...

Looking for a crossover based on a sedan that looks like a wagon but has the high seat position of an SUV and the hybrid MPG of a small car? The Toyota #Crown Signia might be for you! www.thecarconnection.com/news/1145032...

Since 2021, Ford has had the highest number of recalls every year. Now, it'll cost them even more for dragging their feet. Keep in mind, nearly every automaker has had #recalls for rearview camera issues. Only one has been fined. #NHTSA www.thecarconnection.com/news/1145024...

Glad to see @bsky.app gaining traction.
