Could there be a more cutthroat segment in the industry than the midsize sedan one?

2018 Nissan Armada: Big is the Word of the Day4.0/5

There are many people who may require a very large SUV, but not necessarily the luxury nameplate often associated with such brethren.

2018 Porsche Camp4: Listen to Kees!

NOTRE-DAME-DE-LA-MERCI, Québec – My instructor’s name was Kees Nierop. The man, who seemed to be in his early sixties, kept rambling on about how he was the senior of seniors.
