Lexus TX at Lake Toxaway - Stinson CarterI drove the new Lexus TX 350 on a road trip in Western North Carolina. Testing it as a family hauler, a gear hauler, and a mountain handler. During a weeklong trip in the Smoky Mountains, I came to admire the capacity, comfort, and capability of Lexus’ newest full-sized SUV.  Released at the same time as the Lexus GX, the TX is likely the car more suitable to a wider range of drivers. No body-on-frame hardcore off-road architecture like the GX, but it does have full-time AWD, and after taking it up some…

Apr. 16th, 2025 As cherry blossom season arrives, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars proudly presents the Phantom Cherry Blossom, a one-of-a-kind Phantom Extended inspired by the delicate beauty of Sakura. A Japanese client commissioned this masterpiece to preserve cherished Hanami memories and pass down a legacy to future generations. Cherry blossoms symbolize nature’s rhythms, the arrival of spring, and the beauty of impermanence. Lasting only about a week, these blooms remind us to embrace the present. This symbolism is deeply rooted in Japanese art, literature, and philosophy. Hanami, or "flower viewing," is a centuries-old tradition where families and friends gather beneath cherry…

However, many forget there is a third option. Bentley certainly remembers as it opens reservations for new-generation Continental GT/GTC hybrid versions. Let’s focus on the coupe and cabriolet versions of the luxury marque’s grand tourer for this piece. As the spec sheet reveals, both configurations are practically on par except for a few metrics. Thus, it’s all a matter of personal preference here. Under the…

Volvo EX90 in Sand DuneSliding into the driver’s seat of the Volvo EX90 feels less like entering a car and more like luxuriating in an artfully designed living space. This car is spacious, uncluttered, and the tinted panoramic roof creates a light and airy feel. I shift to drive, and it’s quiet—eerily so at first. There’s no engine hum, no startup growl. Just a subtle chime and a soft glow from the panoramic screen that I find calm and soothing.  Similarly, the exterior doesn’t shout; it whispers—the very definition of quiet luxury. The minimalist Scandinavian design of clean lines, understated LED lighting, and flush…

These are leading names in the industry, such as Mercedes-AMG, Porsche, Ferrari, Pagani, and Lamborghini. However, some companies specialize in aftermarket tuning and customizations. Have a glimpse of the ETNA by Tedson Motors. The firm, operating out of Zagreb, Croatia, is refining a classic Galladardo from the Charging Bull into a bespoke supercar. Although discerning motoring enthusiasts would frown upon such practices, the demand is strong enough to venture into such projects. There are plenty of enhancements that ship…

Grabbing a fair share of the market once dominated by Tesla is no easy feat. It may be the poster boy for the company’s push for lower carbon emissions, but its fleet also offers something far roomier with respectable off-roading chops. Welcome the Macan 4 Electric. The growing demand for electrification sees manufacturers rework established models from internal combustion engines to battery-electric. This approach is the ideal option so as not to alienate long-time customers.…

Images courtesy of Polaris From JustLuxe Content Partner MensGear Many find motorcycles more appealing than four-wheeled vehicles, likely due to their adrenaline rush. Perhaps it’s the feeling of being in control of a powerful machine parallel to the increasing danger as the speed increases. Meanwhile, others suggest an alternative, albeit with a slightly better safety record. They hint at something like the 2025 Polaris Slingshot 10. The aggressive aerodynamics suggest superior handling and performance. However, the 2025 Polaris Slingshot 10 is only available in a sporty Radiant Red Pearl paint job. This is a bit odd, given that there are…
