The AutoGuide editorial team will be driving the polar extremes of the automotive market this week. Check it all out, right here on AutoGuide Now.


2015 Toyota Sienna vs 2015 Kia SedonaMike Schlee, Road Test Editor:

“This week two minivans are battling it out to see which one is better for all-around family duties. Returning is last year’s minivan comparison champion, the Toyota Sienna. Taking on the champion is the all-new Kia Sedona. Can the stylish Korean family hauler dethrone the king?”


2015 Ferrari California TLuke Vandezande, Managing Editor:

“This week I’m ticking something off my bucket list. I’ll be driving the Angeles Crest Highway in a Ferrari. Specifically I’ll be reviewing the new California T, the first of many boosted cars scheduled to come from Maranello. Is it the ultimate way to get around in Los Angeles? Stick with me to find out.”

“At the same time, I’ll be catching up with a much more affordable piece of performance engineering. We will be using Hyundai’s Genesis Coupe 3.8 R Spec as a chase car during filming and I’m personally looking forward to spending a little bit of time carving corners in a car that might actually fit my personal automobile budget.”
“Finally, I’ll be heading down to Huntington Beach to trade the Genesis Coupe for something a little more efficient. Hyundai is introducing its new Sonata Hybrid to the press this week and I’ll be spending some time with them to evaluate their latest green machine.”

“This week I’m heading to Nashville, Tennessee, home of country music, cowboy boots and Nissan to test drive the 2016 Maxima sedan. Look for a full written review and a video feature as well. Oh, and if you have any questions about this car make sure to not ask; driving impressions are under embargo for a couple weeks so I can’t say anything.”
