Reviews SummaryIt’s been 25 years since Buick last offered a convertible—the oft-forgotten Reatta, which curiously offered a CRT touchscreen display just a couple scant decades ahead of the curve back in 1990. But with the Cascada, it’s more about looking backward than forward, as it offers a classic cruising experience with too little forward thinking to truly impress. | |
Reviews SummaryAfter a substantial refresh for the 2021 model year, the 2022 Lexus IS lineup returns with a handful of minor updates and a significant improvement in performance. The new 2022 Lexus IS 500 F Sport Performance also debuts this year, packing a normally-aspirated 5.0-liter V8 and laugh-riot driving dynamics. We sampled the new 2022 IS 500 in the suburbs and outskirts of Phoenix, and if you’re among the driving enthusiasts who miss the discontinued Lexus GS F, this is a credible substitute. | |
