You’ve earned it. I had to work up my nerve to the first time I walked into a Prada store. I was familiar with luxury shopping at Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus. I knew well the investment value of a pair of Gucci loafers or an Hermès belt. But I was ready for my…

Used 2017 Kia Cadenza Limited Review: This Luxury Sedan Might Be Kia’s Best-Kept Secret
Its luxe touches and unassuming sleekness will surprise you. In my next life, I’m going to pursue a career in car color naming.
