The 2020 Toyota Corolla XSE Is Still Just a Car

After spending time with the 2020 Toyota Corolla XSE––needless to say––I have some opinions. Blue stitching on the interior? Yes, please. My Sons loved that detail.

BMW Hot Hatch: The 128ti Roller Skate

Let’s get this out of the way right now: the BMW 128ti won’t be rolling into the US. We had our chance with the hatchback version of the 3 Series back in the 1990s. BMW could hardly give away what was known as the E36. With the chopped off rear they looked pretty good-but the …
