AboutThatCar.com: 2020 Lexus NX 300h
This review of the 2020 Lexus NX 300h started in Houston. We landed and picked up the luxury crossover at airport parking and headed here, no stops, no visiting friends, no nothing. We got on state highway 59 South headed for I-610 East that would take us to I-10 East.

The Kia Forte5 SX was a sharp looking five-door hatchback. It was a head turner; more than once did I notice people taking a second look at it.
AboutThatCar.com: 2020 Mazda3 Hatchback
While test driving the 2020 Mazda3 Hatchback, we pulled into a parking spot at the grocery store and before we could get out of the car a young lady pulled in beside us. As we exited our test vehicle, she said, “I like the color of this car. I need to go get mine washed.”

AboutThatCar.com: 2018 Mazda3 4-Door
After test driving several Mazda hatchbacks and crossover models, a Mazda3 sedan finally showed up at the door. I found this four-door just as sporty and responsive as its hatchback counterpart.
AboutThatCar.com: 2017 Mazda6 Grand Touring
As soon as they dropped off the 2017 Mazda6, we were headed down Hwy 14 to connect with I-94 West and on to Chicago. Once we were clear of the expressway like traffic, we set the car’s adaptive cruise control on 78 mph and settled in for what turned out to be an uneventful drive.
AboutThatCar.com: 2019 Hyundai Elantra Sport
The Hyundai Elantra Sport was a great car. Never mind its 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that made 201 horsepower and 195 pound-feet of torque. Never mind that it had a smooth shifting six-speed manual transmission.
AboutThatCar.com: 2020 Mazda CX-30
The 2020 Mazda CX-30 is the second model to adopt the latest evolution of Kodo design. It is a more mature interpretation of the striking design ethos. The CX-30 is meant to evoke creativity in one’s life. Realizing two contrasting expressions, the compact crossover has the flowing beauty of a coupe and the bold proportions of an SUV.8322536960

AboutThatCar.com 2020 Mazda CX-30
The short story is as the automobile market continues to shift towards crossovers and sport utilities, Mazda created the CX-30 to meet a need. That’s what they told us. But the small crossover also fills out the automaker’s crossover lineup, giving it a full-size, mid-size and now small crossover.
AboutThatCar.com: 2017 Genesis G90 RWD 5.0 Ultimate
We were in a parking lot and found ourselves answering a bevy of questions from a couple of guys. The first and most important was what kind of car we were driving. It was a Genesis G90.

The Hyundai Ioniq is a car of the future. That’s because it comes in three electrified versions: hybrid, plug-in hybrid and all electric. We had the hybrid.

Overnight, that was as long as we had the 2021 GMC Yukon. But it was long enough to form an opinion. They put a lot of work into this sport utility and made it better, much better than the model it replaces.
