  After an absence from the compact pickup market for several model years, Ford came back in 2019 with a new Ranger and it’s been a very popular product.

For those of us who’ve watched Hyundai’s continual upwards progress over the years, Kona is a relatively new nameplate.

  The Integra was one of two launch products back in 1986 when Honda introduced Acura as its luxury brand in North America. (The other product was the Legend).

  Automotive historians have interesting discussions on the topic of “who invented the minivan” but whatever the answer, it was Chrysler Corporation that kick-started the class in brilliant style back in the 1980s.

  Now in its second generation, the compact crossover Jeep Compass is an affordable way to get into the highly desirable Jeep range, other models having become quite costly in recent years.
