Sporty Luxury Compact Utility Vehicles like the BMW X3, Audi Q5 and Acura RDX are all the rage these days as many – especially families with younger children and empty nesters –have found them to be a perfect blend of functionality, comfort, performance and efficiency. Thus, it’s hardly surprising that Lexus would want a piece […]
There aren’t many times I get to drive a car that promises to revolutionize the entire industry three months before it goes on sale to the general public. Yes, there are other plug-in hybrids cars.

The crystal blue sky and light winds promised perfect conditions for the day ahead as my 737 touched down at Phoenix Sky Harbor airport. Upon passing through security, I was met by a concierge who guided me to the white 2013 Rolls-Royce Ghost and my driver who was waiting to take me to the Phoenician […]
