  2. Review: 2021 Porsche Panamera 4S E-Hybrid – WHEELS.ca

    Evan Williams

    Dan Heyman

    Fast forward to today and when you consider the Kicks’ sub-$20,000 starting price (recall that the Micra once had a sub-$10,000 starting price, a big deal this day in age) and you can see that now that the Micra is no more in this market, the Kicks slots in nicely as a bit of an alternative.

  13. Review: 2021 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid Limited – WHEELS.ca

    Dan Heyman

    As a result, the RAV4 – like the Corolla, or the Chevrolet Impala once was, or the Ford Escape – has always had the acrimonious “this is what you think of when you hear the word ‘car’” designation; that is to say notable and popular, but also ubiquitous and gone from memory soon as it passes through your direct line of sight at the intersection. Probably because it was finished in grey. Or silver.
