I handle new car reviews, news, events, auto shows, and contribute to special projects and multicar comparisons while representing our team in the heart of the U.S. auto industry. I’ve been a part of the industry my whole life, growing up in an automotive family, spending the past 30 years working for Bosch and Nissan, and serving as an industry analyst for years before coming to Cars.com in 2012. I’m a graduate of the University of Michigan (Go Blue!), have an MBA from Wayne State University in Detroit with a focus on international business strategy, and I’m a member of both the Automotive Press and the Midwest Automotive Media associations. My personal fun car is a pristine 2002 Ford Thunderbird, which I love because it is not an SUV, has zero touchscreens, and nothing dings at you all the time. My pronouns are he/him, but my adjectives are fat/sassy.
The updated 2025 R1T electric pickup truck doesn’t look much different, but it didn’t need to — Rivian’s improvements keep it quick, quiet and luxurious.
Quiet, strong and pleasant to drive (but no more fuel-efficient than an LX 600), the newly off-road-capable Lexus LX 700h hybrid full-size SUV still feels in need of more unique luxury touches to command its six-figure price.
Smooth, quiet and deceptively quick, the smaller-than-expected Jeep Wagoneer S electric SUV is an excellent creation for a strategy that now seems outdated.
The first electric V-Series model has arrived in the form of the 2026 Cadillac Lyriq-V, and it’s actually going to be the quickest Cadillac ever made, according to the company.
If you’re already going to be building a rarified $300,000 sports car that only a handful of Ford aficionados will be allowed to drive, why not make an even more special special edition?
At a Detroit Auto Show devoid of any debuts or news, Ford unveiled the new 2025 Mustang GTD Spirit of America in an homage to American speed-record challenger Craig Breedlove.
