In 1843, Hans Christian Andersen wrote a fairy tale called "The Ugly Duckling". TL:DR? The duckling is kinda funny-looking, but grows up to be a beatiful swan. As to what that has to do with the 2025 Acura ADX:This is the Honda HR-V---a $25,400 subcompact SUV ($29,500 in top trim shown here) with 158 horsepower that takes 11.5 seconds to get to 60 miles per hour from a standing stop. This is the 2025 Acura ADX. It's based on the HR-V, but it's very different.

Driving 104 cars a year exposes me to a lot of automobiles. I'd like to think it gives me some pretty good insights. Still, I'm aware that it's a life unmoored from some fundamental realities---like, y'know---actually paying for these vehicles with my own hard-earned money. So that said---is it just me or is the Mercedes-AMG CLE 53 Coupe a bargain...maybe even a steal?

It's only been two years since our last test of a Nissan Rogue, but already there are some newsworthy updates. That includes a subtle re-working of the front grille in 2024, making the compact SUV more...um...rougishly handsome. It's also amazing the difference trim and body color can make. Even though this 2025 model and the 2023 I drove are both Rogue Platinum AWDs, the '23 was deep red with lots of chrome. This one is silver with black accents and looks more rugged and purposeful.
