8 High-Performance Cars for Latinas to Drive
Think of LATINA Style’s car, truck and SUV picks in this issue as
Grammy or Academy Award nominations. With hundreds of models
to choose from, here are a few vehicles that we have tested and
find worthy of note. You’ll find a cross-section of top contenders
that range from a compact crossover and mid-sized pickup to a
sportback sports sedan and a large four-door flagship that touts
everyday-driving elements and limousine traits to two full-sized
sport utility vehicles, one of which struts high-performance as
one of its attributes.
