2021 Lexus IS Reviews SummaryThe new Lexus IS enters its fourth generation of production, embodying lessons learned from the LC and RC. The 2021 IS targets enthusiast drivers and luxury buyers who might be thinking German first, and it seeks to recalibrate expectations of what a compact luxury sports sedan can be. | |
2021 Honda Civic Reviews SummaryHonda is ready to retire the 10th-generation Civic, one of the ground-breaking versions in the nameplate's long and storied history. From its polarizing design and three body styles to the arrival (finally!) of the Honda Civic Type R performance variant in the North American market, this version of the Civic made its mark. And even though the design is now six years old, and the car is ubiquitous on Canadian roads, the 2021 Honda Civic remains worthy of consideration. | |
