2013 Honda CR-V

Upon further review ... solid, but bulbous and not as refined as expected Every once in a while I get to test a vehicle twice in a single year. It’s rare, but this week I had the 2013 Honda CR-V AWD EX-L with navigation, just one model year newer than the CR-V I had tested early... Continue Reading →

2013 Volkswagen CC Sport

Streamlined CC Sport shows what VW can do When Volkswagen launched its sporty CC in 2009 it went head-to-head with its own Passat, at the time a dowdy midsize sedan that was in need of a restyling. Now, Passat is coming off a facelift last year to thin it’s body to blend more with the other... Continue Reading →

Die-cast: AutoWorld Vette, Tang started on Road&Track covers

Muscle cars are here to ‘pump you (your collection) up’ Ahhh, muscle cars, those high-horse brutes of the 1960s and early ’70s that lived the high life until the evil Oil Embargo forced us all to rethink power and gas guzzling, at least for a few years. These babies were stylish and fun, and AutoWorld... Continue Reading →

2013 Chevrolet Malibu 1LZ

New Malibu impressive as high-value family car Chevrolet continues to impress with nearly every new model, or revamped model it launches, save the Spark. Its new Malibu is another winner with tweaked styling to make it look more like a Camry, especially from the rear. But to me, that’s a good thing as the current... Continue Reading →

2013 Lexus GS450h

Luxurious GS450h gives hybrids a good name Lexus is synonymous with luxury, which is currently being driven home via the smooth quiet operation of its GS450h, a midsize luxury hybrid. There isn’t much more anyone would need in a luxury car than what the GS450h delivers. Ride is smooth and controlled, the engine gives it plenty... Continue Reading →

Autoart knows that makes it a prime candidate for a stunning die-cast model. Bugatti is a French exotic car maker that... Continue Reading →

2013 Chevrolet Spark 2LT

Chevy’s Korean micro car comes up short Chevrolet’s Spark is a confusing car. Why? Chevy has a perfectly fine entry-level car, the Sonic. Why it felt a need to go bargain basement with its Spark, a Daewoo (remember that name?) designed four-door micro or city car seems like a decision from the pre-bankruptcy General Motors....

2013 Dodge Dart Limited

New Dart hits the mark As a kid in the 1960s we had a Plymouth Valiant convertible, a kissin’ cousin to the Dodge Dart, both pleasant, sturdy, reliable compact cars. But by the 1970s, the Dart and Valiant had grown into ugly boxy things with parts that readily fell off. They, and other Dodge, Chrysler... Continue Reading →

Latest Replicarz Marmon Wasp spy photos

1911 Indy winning Wasp nears finish line OK, so they aren't really spy shots, but someone we know who is close to the project has sent us  more "spy photos" of the new Replicarz Marmon Wasp. This is the racer that won the inaugural Indianapolis 500 in 1911 with Ray Harroun aboard. Paint details are still being... Continue Reading →

2013 Volvo XC60 T6 AWD

A Volvo wagon (crossover) with style, luxury? YES! Volvo has been a master of wagons for decades, its sturdy boxy 240s setting the standard for boring (yet safe) upscale suburban transport. So it’s no surprise when its tall wagons, the XC crossover vehicles push that bar higher and give the Lexus RX 350 a run... Continue Reading →
