Reviews SummaryRodney Dangerfield was a legendary stand-up comedian, and while his on-stage shtick was all about how he didn’t get any respect, as a comedic talent he was held in the highest esteem. That’s not the case for the 2017 Chevrolet Malibu. The oft-maligned Malibu literally gets no respect, which is too bad because with its most recent redesign for the 2016 model year, the car absolutely deserves it. | |
Reviews SummaryThe 2016 Lexus ES 350 improves slightly on the complete overhaul of the car last year. A new grille and bumpers wrap a car that's built for comfort. A supremely quiet interior and easy tech features highlight a car that's so sedate it has a habit of fading too far into the background. It won't provide the thrills of others in its class, but there's enough to consider it when shopping for a quiet, luxury ride. | |
