Mar 08 2025 10 mins  
A promising addition to the growing electric SUV market, offering a balance of affordability, practicality, and modern technology. A sleek design, decent driving range, and user-friendly tech (I like that), this EV should be a top choice for budget-conscious drivers looking to get into the EV market.Listen to my full review as heard on "The High-Tech Texan Show."

This compact (very compact SUV) has a refreshed, bolder look than previous models. Still sleek and I like the updated cabin including the larger 12.3" infotainment touchscreen.Good gas mileage though not a lot of speed with a non-turbo 2L, 4-cylinder engine.Listen to my full review here as heard on "The High-Tech Texan Show."

Auto Review: 2025 Alfa Romeo Tonale Tributo Italiano

Jan 20 2025 10 mins  
I'd probably buy this car just based on its sexy name. Go on...say it out loud. Pretty cool, huh?Along with its name, this compact luxury SUV is also pretty cool for a PHEV. That's right, Alfa Romeo has gone gas + electric with this model with a 1.3L Turbo engine along with a 90 kw electric motor that can get up to 33 electric miles.Listen to my full review here as heard on

Auto Review: 2025 Buick Envista Sport

Jan 14 2025 7 mins  
I recently said the Buick Envista was my favorite vehicle to recommend this year after test driving several versions of it. I like the design and curves on the outside and the roominess and tech features on the inside. Plus the price is right. Listen to my review as heard on "The High-Tech Texan Show"

Auto Review: 2025 Infiniti QX-80

Jan 03 2025 9 mins  
If you're looking for a big, 3-row SUV (and I mean BIG), look no further than the Infiniti QX-80. Built on the same frame - by the same company - the QX-80 is a pimped out version of the Nissan Armada. The 2025 version of this luxury tank features supple leather seats, big wheels, and an incredibly roomy 2nd and 3rd row. Listen to my full review as heard on "The High-Tech Texan Sho

Auto Review: 2025 GMC Hummer EV 3X

Jan 02 2025 9 mins  
Big. Tough. Fearless. Heavy (9,000 lbs). Quick. Fast. Expensive. Just a few adjectives that I jotted down during my week in the Hummer EV 3X. This all-electric model is a head-turner and fun to drive, especially with the roof panels removed. Good tech inside and speedy pick-up with up to 830 hp. But beware the price tag and charging this big boy. Listen to my full review as heard
