Honest car reviews both big and small
Tried to please everyone but ended up appealing to almost no one. I've been looking for one of these for the longest time. Not because they're cool, just the opposite. I know, as an owner of a '72 AMC Gremlin and '75 Pacer, what's the saying? Those in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. Well, at... Continue Reading →
Toyota's gas-only Corolla Cross is a value, but hybrid versions offer more efficiency and power.
The original hybrid For the most part, compact cars of the '60s were nothing to write home about. Basic transportation was the answer to higher fuel prices and imports. Ford's entry was the Falcon, today almost forgotten, but it was how the Mustang, and this week's spot, a 67 Ford Ranchero, came about. The snazzy... Continue Reading →
AWD makes Nissan's Kicks a solid choice for the upper Midwest if you're on a budget. Now it has bigger screens too!
Typical late 60s car with power and style ... I think the mid- to late-60s were the golden age for American automobile manufacturers, mainly because horsepower was king and each company was trying to outdo the others. This week's spot, a 67 Dodge RT Coronet Convertible, is a great example. I found this spot this... Continue Reading →
Kia's Telluride has been a winner since introduced in 2020 and the 2025 adds to its fine reputation. Oh, and a hybrid is coming soon.
Famously called "the most beautiful car ever made" by Enzo Ferrari When you think of iconic cars from the '60s, the ones I think about are the '63 Split Window Corvette, '64 Pontiac GTO, '65 Mustang, 1966 Lamborghini Miura, and this week's spot, the Jaguar E-Type. Actually, some consider it the greatest sports car of... Continue Reading →
Improvements and restyling create a new more desirable Nissan Leaf EV.
A twentieth-century Conestoga wagon In some ways VW of the 60s could be compared to Chrysler of 80s utilizing one platform to create so many vehicles. This week's spot, a VW single cab pickup is a great example of the company's ingenuity. Introduced in the early 50s it was one of the most advanced commercial... Continue Reading →
Better late than never, Subaru has its first Forester hybrid and it's smooth and comfy to drive, while getting improved fuel economy.
AMC's replacement for the Gremlin As much as I love American Motors, there were times when they rode with a model too long. Take, for example, the Gremlin. Introduced in 1970, they made changes, but should have moved on way before 1978. Sales were strong early in its production, peaking at over 170,000 units in... Continue Reading →
Brought to you by the same guy who imported the Yugo If you're a regular reader of my posts you know that I'm a lover of all cars weird. I'd have to be to be an AMC geek. This spot comes from Malcom Bricklin, importer of the Subaru 360 that I found earlier this year... Continue Reading →
Toyota's 4Runner had grown long in the tooth, so after 15 years it gets a redesign, new interior and more efficient turbo engine.
Compact and sporty the Mazda CX-5 offers 250+ horses if you use premium fuel. Plus, it'll hold a family of four easily.
This week's spot, a 77 Jeep J-10 Honcho, is a perfect example of a rugged, functional, and distinctive American pickup that became a cult classic for its blend of capability and style. It came standard with an AMC 360 V8 engine, often with a 4-barrel carburetor, and Dana 4-wheel drive. After AMC had acquired Jeep... Continue Reading →
Muscle cars are mostly things of the past, today it's muscle trucks in all shapes and sizes. BMW's X3 is one of the nicest, and fastest!
Plymouth's Duster was a great-looking compact and with a V8 it was a hot rod. Check out this Auto World 1/18 scale version.
Scout used to be a big player in off-roading before IH's demise. Now Scout is coming back, thanks to VW's backing.
Adding a turbo to the already zoomie and cute Mazda CX-30 makes it even more fun and still a bargain too.
Fast, quick handling, good looks and a luxury interior make gas-only XC60 a blast, but the hybrid is way more efficient.
Toyota expands its Highlander to Grand Highlander 3-row status with a comfy near luxury interior and hybrid power.
Big SUV or minivan? If you have a large family, the answer is easy, minivan and Sienna is a top choice.
Equinox a bonafide bargain and stylish family hauler ... With apologies to sportscaster Al Michaels, Do You Believe in Miracles? Chevy’s new Equinox compact crossover/SUV didn’t dethrone any Russian vehicles, or hockey teams, but it sure as heck could ice the sales of its competing crossovers of similar stature. That’s because Chevy redesigned one of... Continue Reading →
Outback remains a great AWD family mover, now with more power and a quieter interior with luxury trim.
Nissan's new Rock Creek edition of its top-selling Rogue is fit for more than just mild off-roading .... Really!
Families deserve nice looking wheels with oodles of features at a great price. Hyundai delivers with the Tucson!
Who knew wagons could not only jet off the line, but also look cool? Volvo did and shows it with the V60 plug-in hybrid.
Plymouth's "Gentleman" muscle car With Plymouth's Road Runner commanding the largest market share of the lower-priced muscle cars, Plymouth's management decided that it was time to offer a "Gentleman" muscle car, that would provide an "exceptional blend of style and performance". Intr in 1967, the Plymouth GTX fulfilled that requirement. Although it shared its basic... Continue Reading →
