Here in the US, the Toyota Land Cruiser is a high-end luxury model that sports a hefty price tag of $83,825.

Product Review: iceScreen Magnetic Windshield Cover
Does the iceScreen effectively protect your windshield from snow, or is it too much effort and forethought to use?
The thing I hate most about living in Ohio (and believe me, there are several) is waking up to snow and ice, especially when I have to rush to work in the morning. Sure, I have remote start to warm up my car, but clearing my car of snow and ice in the […]

Acura TLX Commercial Shamelessly Rips Off Groundhog Day
In an article published earlier this month about Acura’s poor November sales, I opined that the luxury brand should follow the lead of its parent company and boost December profits with a holiday-themed sales event, similar to the Happy Honda Days.
