There’s something deeply comforting about its continued existence even as too many buyers opt for SUVs big enough to blot out the sun, pickup trucks tall enough to require a Sherpa, and luxury EVs that glow like radioactive ...Read more

GAYLORD, Michigan — I made an easy drive this fall up Interstate 75 to Charlevoix. Cruising on adaptive cruise control at 80 mph, listening to Sirius XM. Navigating Google Maps on a jumbotron screen while taking in the fall colors. I could have been in any compact SUV.

But as I exited at Gaylord onto the challenging M-32 twisties, I selected ...Read more
