LifestyleAutoblog2021 Chevy Tahoe and Suburban Review | Bigger and better than ever
For 2021, they have been completely redesigned along with their GMC Yukon and Cadillac Escalade cousins, giving it the opportunity to out-do the Ford models, which were redesigned a couple of years ago. The result of this overhaul is a pair of full-size SUVs that compare far more favorably to their main competition, the Ford Expedition. Much of this has to do with the Tahoe and Suburban's new independent rear suspension, which has dramatically expanded passenger and cargo space, while improving driving manners as well.

Honda released a bigger, more powerful version of the Rebel 500 that offers riders more than twice the engine displacement. The 487-pound Rebel 1100 is not the archetypal cruiser because it's not festooned with chrome trim. It's offered in Metallic Black and Bordeaux Red Metallic, and Honda painted the frame, the suspension parts, the visible mechanical components (including the chain), the exhaust system, and the handlebars in black.

TechnologyAutoblogYakima CBX Roof Box Review | A different kind of premium cargo box
The newest such "premium" roof carrier is the Yakima CBX, but it's doing things a little different. From an aesthetic standpoint, it moves away from the glossy black finish found on Yakima's existing premium choice, the Grand Tour, as well as Thule's popular Motion XT. It instead has a sort of "micro-golfball" surface that creates a more matte finish and could potentially benefit fuel economy (as "Mythbusters" proved when it covered an entire car in golf ball dimples).
