Volkswagen has shifted its product lineup upstream without a lot of fanfare. Just look at the Taos. It is the brand’s entry level crossover but there is nothing cut-rate about it. We had the front-wheel-drive version, and it had a wheelbase of 105.9 inches; it was 72.5 inches wide and 64.4 inches tall.

AboutThatCar.com: 2020 GS 350 F Sport
It is difficult reviewing a vehicle that will be discontinued. But that is what we face. Production of the 2020 Lexus GS 350 is scheduled to stop in August. But do not get it twisted, this is a great car. The problem is it could not stand the onslaught of sport utilities and crossovers, sales fell, and it was no longer profitable to make in Japan, ship here and then sit in dealer showrooms. It is as simple as that.
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.”

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: 2019 Volvo V90 Cross Country
The 2019 Volvo V90 Cross County reminded us of the station wagons of the 1950s. You know, those cars that could haul kids and their stuff back and forth to school, take you to little league games, PTA meetings and then pull up in front of the country club for a black-tie affair.

I was really impressed by the 2019 Ford Edge. In a phrase, it has grown. I’m not talking about its size which looks about the same. I’m talking about stature and equipment and perception. I always thought the Ford Edge was a poor-man’s Ford Explorer but not anymore.

The 2019 Mazda CX-3 is a small crossover. It was so small it could do a good imitation of a big hatchback. We drove one here to scope out the auto show.

Lexus, like a lot of other manufacturers, got caught. One of the world’s premier luxury brands, it is in the middle of rolling out a new generation of sedans when the entire market has become utility driven, pun intended. Last year light truck sales accounted for two thirds of market sales.

The 2019 Jeep looked a lot better than the model it will replace. I was one of those folks who thought it looked a little funny.

As Dodge evolves into an affordable high performance brand much hoopla has been made over the Hellcat and the Demon.

Meanwhile, what I think is the best dollar per horsepower performance car coming out of Dodge, so far, generates little fanfare.
