My Thoughts Exactly: 2021 Honda Ridgeline
Many truck folks have dismissed the Honda Ridgeline for years because it is not built like a truck. However, those who have owned a Ridgeline will tell you that it has all of the utility and capability of its competitors in its class.
Which Minivan/MPV Would You Choose?
This has been my argument for years: Minivans (and MPVs) do a better job transporting maturing families than SUVs.
My Thoughts Exactly: 2021 Toyota Sienna
However, there is one more. Perhaps the most important one among the four (five, if you include the Chrysler Voyager) available to families and businessfolk alike. That would be the 2021 Toyota Sienna.
My Thoughts Exactly: 2021 Toyota Camry TRD
The result is that it caught my attention. It was enough to be called one of my favorite vehicles of the V&R era. The reason for it was that each and every one of them – five in total – have given me a high level of satisfaction while putting them to the test.

My Thoughts Exactly: 2021 Nissan Murano
Perhaps this is a good time to even discuss this vehicle. You have heard that inventories are low on new vehicles around the world.
