Auto Review: TAWA Auto Round Up Recap #1
Every Spring I get the opportunity to test drive a slew of new cars, CUVs, SUVs, and more at the Texas Auto Writers Association Auto Round Up. Think of it as Coachella for vehicles.
Manufacturers bring some of the newest rides as TAWA members buckle up for two days of tire kicking and pedal pushing. This year's event was held in Decatur, Texas, at Eagle Canyon Raceway which meant we would get the chance to open up a few of these hot rods while also playing around on streets and highways.
Over the next few weeks I will be breaking down my thoughts on these vehicles to give listeners ideas of what to look for when thinking about your next purchase.
Here's a start...

Auto Review: 2024 Yukon Denali Ultimate
A lot of superlatives here on the latest GMC Yukon with "Denali" and "Ultimate" as upgrades. There's really not much to add on this glorious beast of a vehicle that can fit up to 8 people.

Auto Review: 2024 Cadillac XT4 Sport
When you think of Cadillac you may associate the brand with luxury, elegance, and price. You are correct on two of those, at least with the XT4.
This is the lowest-priced Caddy in the lineup and the compact CUV is packed with nice features including a futurist 33" display capable of 9K viewing.

Auto Review: 2024 Mercedes-AMG EQE
Mercedes once again partners with AMG but this time they didn't perk up the engine, per se. This is due to the EQE being an all-electric vehicle and there is no gas-powered engine to play with.
They did find a way to tweak with the motor to give it super speedy acceleration and creature comforts of a luxury vehicle. But the price may cause you to hit the brakes.

Auto Review: 2024 GMC Sierra 2500 AT4X
You want to drive a BIG BOY truck? I mean a massive truck that can haul a small home? Oh, make sure it's luxurious, too.
Listen to my review of the GMC Sierra 2500 ATX. Made for comfort. Full of luxury. Ready to off-road.

Auto Review: 2023 Dodge Charger Super Bee
Loud and proud. That's how I can describe my week in the Dodge Charger Super Bee Special Edition. 475hp and your neighbors will definitely know when you start it each morning.
Dodge made only 1,000 of these models to celebrate (or rather mourn) the final year of the gas engine version as it will electrify its future productions.
