Part of my automotive journalism job is to evaluate new vehicles for a wide range of outlets. One of my favorite is Gear Junkie, where I get to talk about how a vehicle might fit into an outdoor/adventure sports lifestyle. This of course is right up my alley, as I love to “travel through an adventure sports lens,” the ethos behind Exploring Elements.
I recently got a chance to drive the all new 2018 Buick Regal TourX, through a first drive experience that Buick put on around Mt Hood in Oregon, my old stomping grounds. Besides the first class lodging at Timberline Lodge, spectacular meals and my first time on cross country skis, I also spent many hours driving the new TourX on a wide variety of terrain.
The bottom line is that the new TourX is a sporty wagon well suited for adventure, and is an all new breed of Buick. For my thoughts on this new adventure wagon be sure to read the full story on GearJunkie.com:

To see an in-depth view of how this new Buick wagon stacks up against the competition, have a look at the following chart I put together:
Sometimes dapper Storm Troopers show up to these things 🙂

Cross-country skiing is good fun, but as with most sports it’s hard to keep me on the ground 😉
