Detroit Bureau Chief

Aaron Bragman

Detroit Bureau Chief Aaron Bragman has had over 25 years of experience in the auto industry as a journalist, analyst, purchasing agent and program manager. Bragman grew up around his father’s classic Triumph sports cars (which were all sold and gone when he turned 16, much to his frustration) and comes from a Detroit family where cars put food on tables as much as smiles on faces. Today, he’s a member of the Automotive Press Association and the Midwest Automotive Media Association. His pronouns are he/him, but his adjectives are fat/sassy.

It’s hard to top the kind of bang you get from the 2023 Cadillac Escalade-V, powered as it is by a 682-horsepower, supercharged V-8 engine and swaddled with an ultra-posh cabin.
Loaded with usable tech, styled to turn heads and powered for neck-snapping acceleration, the all-new, all-electric 2023 Genesis GV60 is the closest thing yet to a Tesla Model Y killer.
The ultimate demise of the big American family sedan has been prematurely reported, as Honda has just unveiled its 11th-generation Accord, which is heavily hybrid-flavored.
The new Estrema trim level of the 2023 Alfa Romeo Stelvio bridges the gap between lesser versions of the car and the fire-breathing Quadrifoglio, but its problematic powertrain and aging interior are definitely issues.
The 2023 Pilot rides on a new, dedicated light-truck chassis and features more length, wheelbase, track width, interior space, power, technology and off-road capability than ever before.
Just like the Electrified G80 sedan, the changes to make the GV70 into the 2023 Electrified GV70 have been kept to a visual bare minimum.
Very minor changes to the 2023 Kia Telluride make an already stellar family SUV even better.
The new Toyota Crown is stylish, smooth-riding and quasi-sporty — but ultimately a confusing new offering from Toyota that’s sure to appeal to someone. Who that might be remains a mystery.
The 2023 Ford Escape is sleeker, more carlike and even has a new trim series meant to make it even more carlike, the ST-Line.
The 2023 Ford Escape gets a mild styling refresh inside and out, and a new ST-Line monochromatic sport appearance look that can be had in several trim levels.
