Reviews Summary

Mazda wants to move into the same premium product territory currently occupied by Acura, Buick, MINI, Volkswagen and, increasingly, Kia. To support this move, Mazda is launching a new “Feel Alive” marketing campaign, which the company says is a fan-focused effort that describes how the automaker’s cars and SUVs make you feel.

I’m a Mazda owner and fan. And I can attest that Mazdas do make you “feel alive”—if that relates to having a good time while you’re behind the wheel. Does the 2018 CX-5, Mazda’s compact crossover SUV and one of its best-selling models, do that?

Yes, it does. And with a few tweaks, it would be worthy of premium status.

Reviews Summary

“Fake news!” We’ve all heard about it, but some of us clearly have no idea what it is. The answer is simple: Fake news is a news report based on something other than direct or reasonable circumstantial evidence. When it comes to the 2017 Nissan Rogue Sport, the direct and circumstantial evidence suggests that this new small crossover SUV’s name is the epitome of fake news. There is nothing sporty about the new Rogue Sport, except for maybe its styling.
