Autos tracked here. What else is going on?

Bismarck Tribune looks at top 2021 vehicles.

Worth taking a spin:

  • 2021 Cadillac Escalade: luxury SUV
  • 2020 Mazda CX-30: small SUV
  • 2020 Hyundai Sonata: sedan; non-starter for me;
  • 2020 Subaru Legacy: sedan; nonstarter for me;
  • 2021 Acura TLX A-Spec: sedan; nonstarter for me:
  • 2021 Ford F-150 King Ranch hybrid; $60K; outside my budget
  • 2021 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray; $60K; for me, "old man's car"; seen too many driven by old, bald men;
  • 2021 Mercedes-Benz E450 4Matic All-Terrain; $70K way outside my budget; name of vehicle rolls right off your tongue, as they say:
  • 2021 Genesis G90: sedan; non-starter for me; $73K
  • 2021 Rolls-Royce Ghost: sedan, $332K; now I know this list is ridiculous

Best vehicles of 2021 (best for whom?; on what basis?):

  • 2021 Kia K5: top rated sedan; $24K
  • 2021 Ford F-150: top-rated truck; group think; $30K
  • 2021 Kia Telluride; top-rated SUV; $33K; on my short list;
  • 3021 Ford Mustang Mach-E: top-rated luxury EV; I'll wait to see 2nd or 3rd iteration;
  • 2021 Mercedes-Benz E-Class: top-rated luxury sedan; $55K

The list seems a bit short. Maybe top three in each category would have been more interesting.

And more helpful.  No Honda. No Toyota. No GM (or rather "gm"). No minivan. No Jeep.
