Nicole reviews two electrified luxury vehicles this week starting with the 2023 Lincoln Corsair PHEV and its fancy air filtration system that came in handy thanks to the Canadian wildfires. She also reviews the 2023 Genesis Electrified G80 EV which once again proves Genesis delivers a lot of luxury bang for the buck and then decides a pancake road trip is in order.

Nicole reviews the 2023 Kia Telluride SUV that's ready for family adventures with three rows of seating and room for cargo. She also gets a look at the new three-row VW IDBuzz EV with its retro styling for family life and stops for some amazon Turkish food on the way to the airport.

This week Nicole reviews the Mercedes AMG G-Wagon and Genesis G90. These two luxury vehicles are both pricey, but they take very different approaches to luxury with one over-the-top SUV that demands attention and one elegant sedan that flies under the radar. She also indulges in her absolute favorite place for cookies -Crumbl.

The Rivian R1S SUV is the latest electric car to grace Nicole's driveway with room for seven and a high-tech interior with an infotainment screen that does maybe a little too much. She also spends some time with the Genesis Electrified GV70, which takes a more traditional approach to luxury that might be the winner of the two. A trip to Hawaii was also in the mix, and that means tasty donuts!
