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.

The Volvo EX90: Electric Calm, Scandinavian Cool

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…
