The High-Tech Texan
Auto Review: 2025 Nissan Murano Platinum

One of my fave vehicles so far this year. The Platinum version of Nissan's already-strong CUV takes things to another level with a comfy cabin and strong tech.

The High-Tech Texan
Auto Review: 2025 Nissan Z Nismo

Are you kidding me? What's to review...it's a Z Nismo! ;)

A fast, hot rod of a sports coupe with upgrades from Nissan's performance division. Fast, sleek, sexy.

The High-Tech Texan
Auto Review: 2026 GMC Terrain AT4

GMC gave the new version of its Terrain SUV a little facelift to make it look a bit more bold. And the AT4 version stands out big time.

Rugged on the outside, great teach and comfort on the inside.

The High-Tech Texan
Auto Review: 2025 Kia Sorento Hybrid

Hybrid vehicles are the way to go, in my opinion. The combination of a gas engine and a battery offers good mileage and the new Sorento hits all cylinders.

The High-Tech Texan
Auto Review: 2025 Ram 2500 Longhorn Limited

Auto Review: 2025 Kia EV6 GT Line

The High-Tech Texan
Auto Review: 2025 Kia Niro SX Touring

The Kia Niro SX is sneaky good — packed with tech, easy on gas (50+ mpg!), and way cooler than a hybrid has any right to be. I took it for a drive, and it might just be the smartest ride you’re not paying enough attention to...and don't have to pay a lot.

Auto Review: 2025 Toyota GR Corolla Premium Plus

The 2025 Toyota GR Corolla Premium Plus packs rally-bred performance into a surprisingly practical hatchback. I’ll break down its turbocharged punch, sharp handling, and tech-savvy interior that makes daily drives just as fun as track days. Tune in to hear why this little hot hatch is punching way above its weight.

The High-Tech Texan
Auto Review: 2025 Cadillac Optiq

Even the "entry level" EV SUV from Cadillac should not be considered "entry level". The brand has long stood above many other manufacturers with high-end features and capabilities. And that includes the Lyriq, which I refer to as the older sister of the Optiq.

Though not as powerful as Big Sis, the Optiq has almost the same range and similar features inside the cabin.

The High-Tech Texan
Auto Review: 2025 Chrysler Pacifica Limited

There are only 4 minivans available in the U.S., and I have long recommended the Chrysler Pacifica should you be in the market for a luxurious chariot to schlep your kids around town.

The 2025 Limited version is no exception as I took it for a week-long spin. Probably could have lived in it (down by the river) as the creature comforts are second-to-none compared to others in its class. And don't forget about the built-in vacuum cleaner.

Auto Review: 2025 Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro

The 2025 Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro is finally redesigned—and it’s still the beast you want when the pavement ends. I’ll dive into what’s new, what’s wild, and why this off-road icon refuses to quit.

The High-Tech Texan
Auto Review: 2025 Buick Envista Avenir

I named the Buick Envista my "Car of the Year" last year and this past week I got to drive the top-of-the-line Avenir model. Pretty much every option is added and they still are able to offer it for just over $30,000.

Auto Review: 2025 Chevy Blazer EV SS

If you're looking for an EV, might a recommend taking a spin in Chevy's Blazer. Yes, the big bowtie has pumped out electric Blazers for a few years and the SS model - Super Sport - is worth the test drive.

The High-Tech Texan
Auto Review: 2025 Nissan Frontier PRO-4X

Slap a PRO-4X badge on most any product and odds are I will like it. Hell, put it on a jar of mayonnaise and I may even consider tasting it (well, maybe not THAT far).

Nissan put its PRO-4X off-road trim package on the mid-size Frontier truck and I enjoyed zipping around the city and the dirt in the upscale features it provides.

Auto Review: 2025 Cadillac Escalade IQ Luxury 2
