When I think retro styling, the 2005 Ford Mustang immediately comes to mind. It kicked off a new generation of coupes and sedans from the Chevrolet Camaro to the Dodge Charger. But if we really look back at the retro movement, another auto maker is responsible for really getting it […]
I always keep an eye on the full-size luxury car segment. You know, the likes of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, BMW 7-series and so on. Why wouldn’t I? It provides me a glimpse of what’s to come in the (more affordable) lower model cars years down the road! From navigation systems […]
There are cars that are brought to market that eventually doom a brand. The Pontiac Aztek is an example of this unfortunate scenario (R.I.P. Pontiac.) On the flip side there are cars that revive a brand, perhaps so much so that they bring a brand back from near extinction. The 2002 […]
To know me is to know that I am an Acura enthusiast. How could I not be? I am the happy and extremely proud owner of the 2003 Acura CL Type-S covered in a recent Car of the Week article (in case you missed it, read about it here). That CL […]
There is one quote I always remember from my high school U.S. history class: Frederick Douglass said, “If there is no struggle there is no progress.” The quote just made sense to me and the reason it has stuck with me after all this time is probably because it can […]
There have been a number of changes in my life over the last several months, but none were bigger than my most recent career decision. I was offered (and accepted) a position at a local BMW dealer. My role there is still somewhat in flux, but overall I am thrilled […]
No, I am not developing a trend here. At least, not intentionally. I promise that next week’s car will not be from 1993. This week, though, I bring you an unlikely candidate for Car of the Week: The 1993 Ford Probe SE
Fast sedans are a staple of American car culture. Indeed, there is an undeniable appeal in a car that is versatile, fast and stylish, all in the same package. Americans aren’t the only ones that think so, though. I read this short feature from the Top Gear people this morning […]
It’s a copycat world, I guess. Every self-respecting car magazine, it seems, has to periodically do a top-whatever (-5, -10, -50, -100, etc.) list of the best cars in whatever arbitrary category they have decided on for that month’s issue. That being the case, my own humble publication is clearly […]
Note: This review was originally published on August 14, 2010. I’ve always been a bit of a sucker for a sporty wagon. A lot of people turn their noses up at the stodgy reputation of the family station wagon, and there are certainly plenty of cars deserving of that rebuke. […]
