What is the Kia Niro Skill with Amazon’s Alexa?
The 2017 Kia Niro revolutionized the auto industry with its versatility and of course, its fuel economy, with the cargo room of a crossover but the fuel economy of a hybrid car.

Our Pick for the NBA Finals: First with Our Head, Then with Our Heart

2017 NBA Finals Schedule and Picking the Winner Cleveland vs. Golden State
The 2017 NBA Finals is shaping up to be one of the most-hyped series of all time, and there’s ample justification for all the noise. The Golden State Warriors have been pulverizing teams in the postseason, winning beatdown after beatdown in the first three rounds by more than 16 points per game (with a 12-0 record leading up to the Finals) as they eyed a rematch with the Cleveland Cavaliers.
And the Cavs’ pedigree? Led by all-time-legend LeBron James, the team simply has gone 12-1 through the first three playoff rounds while LeBron took the occasional break to pretend to sip from a fan’s beer, among other marvelous feats that have transpired this postseason.
Both of these teams – with seven MVP awards to their credit, and 11 current or former All-Stars – meet for the third straight time in the NBA Finals, the first time two teams in any major pro sport have competed for three consecutive championships since 1956, when the Detroit Red Wings and Montreal Canadiens played the third of three NHL finals when there were only six teams total in hockey.
Are you getting hyped yet? We thought so. The NBA Finals begins tonight, June 1, 2017, and we have the schedule for the entire series and who we think will win – read on and find out!

Dog Walkers 2017 Kia Sportage Commercial Smart Power Liftgate
Have you ever had your hands full on a shopping trip, or a trip to the grocery store, and needed to lift the rear hatch or trunk of your vehicle, but couldn’t? Now imagine the ground is wet and cold and rainy, or worse, filled with sludge from a snowfall and you really don’t want to drop your bags on the ground and ruin them while you dig for your keys. Wouldn’t you prefer a vehicle where the rear hatch opens without you lifting a finger?
Well, that is precisely what the 2017 Kia Sportage does for you with its Smart Power Liftgate, a feature which the new commercial “Smart Power Liftgate – Dog Walkers” shows so well. We’ll share video of the ad, and show some of the features of the Sportage compared to its competition, below!
