The Subaru Outback has developed a very loyal following during its time on the market, and we’re pleased to see it continuing for another generation. The redesigned Solterra’s more conventional styling and longer driving range should broaden its appeal. Trailseeker has us scratching our heads a bit. The idea of an electric SUV that can go off-road doesn’t seem logical because if your battery runs out of juice, you’re more than likely to wind up stranded.

With Palisade setting sales records in 2024, Hyundai wants to keep that momentum going for the 2026 redesign. Its larger size, more advanced available technology and new hybrid drivetrain should help expand its appeal to an even larger audience. Stay tuned for our complete driving impressions once the vehicle is closer to its on-sale date.

Kia was busy at the 2025 New York Auto Show, presenting two brand new vehicles and a  flagship trim for its popular three-row fully electric SUV. All are slated to debut for the 2026 model year.

The fledgling brand launched with just a single model, the XR4Ti. A rebadged and tweaked version of the European-market Sierra, the small sport coupe certainly looked the part of a premium German sporty ride.

The hosts welcome veteran auto journalist Gary Witzenburg to the show. Gary talked about a pair of articles he recently wrote, both about 2-seat Pontiacs. The first, which appeared recently in Collectible Automobile, covered the Fiero.
