The High-Tech Texan

Cadillac's smallest SUV has a few upgrades and tweaks from last year's model nut still delivers a comfy ride with a very good get up and go thanks to its turbo engine.  Hear my full thoughts...

Big. BIG.  Easiest way to describe the Ram 2500 pickup truck.  This 3/4 ton behemoth is capable of towing 20,000 pounds yet the diesel engine is quiet and it is easy to handle. Listen to my full review here courtesy of "The High-Tech Texan Show w/Michael Garfield," via iHeartRadio.

#wow #whoa I don't often use hashtag adjectives like that when describing my time in cars but the Cadillac CT4-V is worthy of it.  The Blackwing version is smoking fast and sexy.  A great performance vehicle that rivals Mercedes AMG and BMW M series performance cars.  Take a listen.

Jeep continues to roll out first-class vehicles and the new Grand Cherokee is no exception.  A lower profile and less-angled look make it look like a lean, mean, driving machine that can climb over most anything under the wheels, especially the rugged Summit trim. Listen to my review here as heard on "The High-Tech Texan Show w/Michael Garfield," via iHeartRadio.

The Honda Civic has been around for 50 years and the all-new eleventh generation of the popular economy car is on the road.  I spent a week in the vehicle and came away impressed with the ride and fuel economy.

Hybrid vehicles are a good way to save money on gas - especially as the price of fuel is on the else - and the new Lexus ES300h combines the comfort of the LS500 I drove a few weeks ago with the fuel economy of last week's UX 250h.

The new Lexus crossover SUV is a sharp hybrid vehicle that gets some great mileage.  If you're not ready to get an EV but want to save money on gas this is a viable option.

Texas loves trucks and RAM continues to produce great models and trims.  The 10th Anniversary 2022 Limited Crew impressed me with its smooth ride, plush interior and unique tailgate.  Take a listen to my full review here courtesy of "The High-Tech Texan Show with Michael Garfield" on iHearRadio.

After 30+ years the Wagoneer name is back on a Jeep.  I played with the new SUV and it is a solid (class-leading?) choice for hauling people (up to 8), cargo, and towing. Hear my thoughts and review here via "The High-Tech Texan Show with Michael Garfield" on iHeartRadio.

This is the type of sedan that I want to be driven in while sitting in the rear seat.  Comfy, spacious luxurious.  It's not the cheapest vehicle in its class and you know my thoughts on the touchpad but this sure is a fine ride. 

It's been a while since I've test driven an Acura and the all-new MDX refreshed my thoughts on the brand as it refreshed the popular SUV.  The ride is smooth and the cabin is sweet but the infotainment system still lacks behind.

So this may not have been my favorite vehicle to test drive but the new Chevy Equinox is definitely capable of getting from Point A to Point B with a little attitude.  The color of this particular CUV caught me off guard but the features were mostly standard and the price is decent.  Listen here to my thoughts.

If you don't associate trucks having a lot of style and comfort then you need to listen to my show a lot more.  Trucks are sometimes more luxurious than typical cars or SUVs and the new GMC Sierra I was driving recently fits that bill.  This rig is big yet handles nicely and is fully appointed with great features as it was the upscale Denali edition.  Listen here to my thoughts.

My Buick envy continues as I had the opportunity to drive the 2022 Envision this past week.  Yes my parents would love it (they are Buick fans) but the brand is aiming for a younger buyer with its sculpted looks and great features.  This particular model was the Avenir upgrade which had almost everything you can add.  Take a listen and enjoy the comfort.

It's a head turner and a sexy little sports car.  The Toyota Supra is back with its 5th generation model and despite its small size and low-to-ground clearance, it does offer super steering and handling. Listen for my full thoughts.

The Avalon remains Toyota's flagship sedan and after spending a week behind the wheel - and in the backseat - I found it incredibly comfy, roomy, sleek and one of the top models in its class. Listen for more.

Last week I talked about how big and comfy the new Chevy Tahoe was.  Well if you want something even BIGGER take a listen to my thoughts on the 2022 GMC Yukon XL Denali.  Are you kidding me?  My whole fraternity could fit in this monster.  I mean I couldn't even fit the whole photo of the SUV here!

After spending a week in this special-edition Corolla I found it to be affordable and a nice move by Toyota to configure this unique-looking and lower-priced offering.  Take a listen to my thoughts.

Hot off the presses and hot off the assembly line, Chevy's new Silverado model features a new look and several internal upgrades that makes this one of the best full-size trucks on the road.  Take a listen at my thoughts after playing in it for a week.

Looking for a big vehicle?  I mean a BIG one?  Take a listen to my review of the 2022 Tahoe from Chevy.  This SUV is massive, comfy, and offers almost too much creature comforts inside.

Chevy's new Trailblazer is a different cat than previous versions of this nameplate.  A compact CUV with standard features makes it a decent vehicle.  But you can decide by listening to my thoughts after a weeklong drive in the 2022 model.

The first 3-row Jeep SUV is impressive, large, and luxurious despite the smallish engine. Hear my thoughts after playing with it for a week.

Wait...this is a MINIVAN??  Well technically it is a Multi-purpose Vehicle according to Kia.  But wow it is impressive and, dare I say, luxurious.  I spent a week rolling around the highways of Texas in this large, cruising machine and here are my thoughts.

I continue to impressed with the Buick brand and the Encore GX proved its point.  Relatively small but the smooth ride and nice inside appointments are a step above many of its competition. Take a listen to my impressions.

I think we've talked about the new iPhone enough but I still don't plan to get one.  Let me know if you like it.  Samsung has pretty sharp new laptop/tablet - the Galaxy Book Pro 360.  Plus your Q&A and chances to win sweet gear.
