First came the national truck and driver shortage. Then Glenwood Canyon was closed for about three weeks. The experience re-ignited conversation about improving a narrow, winding alternative to Glenwood Canyon.
A lot of care and planning goes into selecting the best intersection or roadway type for a specific location and creating the most efficient traffic flow possible. The process of planning, designing, and implementing these intersections and roadways is called traffic engineering.
The celebration for the 50th anniversary of the scenic railroad was put on hold, as was the unveiling of Rio Grande 168, a steam locomotive that sat in Antlers Park in Colorado Springs for decades.
There is no doubt that the Fiat 500, and even this 500x, are popular Italian and European cars. But I suspect that here in the US, this shape of car will have a problem getting traction (no AWD pun intended).
The Toyota Sequoia is so versatile, so safe, so comfortable; it’s a specialty vehicle, to be sure, but also a special one.
What’s not to love? The new Toyota RAV4 Hybrid was easy to drive, with great handling for an SUV, a powerful engine and wonderful gas mileage. Read all the reasons this automobile reviewer would own one.
While most cars today sell because of all the extra goodies, very few focus on the performance and driving capabilities anymore. Except for this Mercedes AMG. Yes, it has all the goodies, but in such an understated way that it’s almost an afterthought.
The Venue, even in the upgraded trim, is a pretty Spartan offering. It’s a classic small, subcompact car with a SUV body.
Though the price tag on this 2020 Jeep may make you think twice, read why this vehicle is an all-around winner–both off and on the trails.

The Denver metro area – as well as other cities along the Front Range – is once again listed as among the top 10 worst areas for air quality. Recently, the city was reclassified by the EPA as a serious violator of federal air regulations.
Being in the mass-transit business is tough. So, yes, a certain amount of slack should be given to transit managers – but how much is enough?
While government struggles to fund much needed improvements to public infrastructure and transportation, consumers are faced with a choice, and it’s worth keeping in mind that toll roads offer a choice – you’re paying either way, after all.
This Legacy is a very handsome sedan that just about anyone would be proud to drive. Add in the fact that all Subarus (except the BRZ) feature all-wheel-drive as standard – and this Legacy is one of the few sedans on the market with the feature.
The 2020 Corolla is still the well-made, reliable, consistent, affordable, predictable, and comfortable sure-fire car it has always been. It is not exciting. It will not win styling contests. It can’t race. But it sells like hot cakes because it will take you and your family anywhere you need to go.
This is a very attractive subcompact crossover/SUV, with all the technology people expect these days, but when compared to the other vehicles in its (highly competitive) market, it can’t compete.

Colorado in 2018 adopted a goal of having 940,000 electric vehicles on state roads by 2030. Legislators in the last session passed five bills to nudge along adoption of EVs.

The Mazda3 Hatchback AWD stood the test of winding mountain roads, Colorado highways and Denver streets. Outperforming in power, shifting, handling, vision and more, this car is perfect for Colorado, all year long.
With a great price point and some nice driving and safety features, this station wagon may seem like a steal, but this Volvo still fell short (quite literally) for our car reviewer.
Though large, the Pacifica proved to be nimble, not anywhere near as mushy-handling as many minivans and, coupled with the excellent power sources, a top-notch driving vehicle, a mountain road super star.
When you’re going for a long, scenic drive you want the best driving vehicle you can get your hands on, and this Acura offered the comfort, space and power to cruise the scenic roadways of Michigan.
