2022 Volvo XC60 B6 AWD R-Design

XC60 touts style inside and out, awesome ride ... Rare are the crossovers whose styling stands out enough to catch your eye on the highway or in daily stop-and-go traffic. Yet Volvo’s collection of XC models will do just that. I’m no expert on style, but (with apologies to former Supreme Court justice Potter Stewart),... Continue Reading →

1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible

Auto World launches its first Barbie Bel Air in 1:18 scale ... Turquoise and pink certainly team up to shout 1950s car fashion, but in this case they also scream Barbie dream car. I’m no Barbie expert (no sisters), but I do know that the bosomy blonde doll has been partial to brightly colored cars... Continue Reading →

2022 Lexus NX 350 F Sport

Restyled NX puts emphasis on tech and sassy performance ...             Small, sassy and techy, that’s Lexus restyled NX 350, a compact crossover aimed directly at the better-off retiree or suburban family with no more than two kids.             I suppose I think of NX being aimed at newly retired Boomers because of its luxury...

1981 Mazda RX-7

Johnny Lightning creates a racy tribute with new Mazda RX-7 ... Mazda has been a favorite car maker of mine since I was fresh out of college and bought a GLC hatchback. Remember the Great Little Car? Well, it wasn’t great, but it was good and low-priced, which fit a newly minted college graduate’s budget.... Continue Reading →

2022 Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy AWD

8 people can ride in style in this upscale Calligraphy model ... Think stylish vehicles and you’d be wise these days to first turn your attention to Hyundai or Kia. The two South Korean carmakers have been breaking the staid auto world’s styling molds for several years now. Case in point, the tested Hyundai Palisade... Continue Reading →

2022 Volkswagen Jetta GLI Autobahn

VW's Jetta a value-oriented icon that exudes the joy of car driving ... I feel a little sorry for younger drivers who have grown up riding in, and then driving, mostly trucks and SUVs. They simply won’t know how much fun it is to drive a car. Cars are lighter, more nimble, and generally handle... Continue Reading →

2022 Mazda CX-5 2.5 Turbo AWD

Turbo CX-5 a sporty compact crossover with a Soul (red) ... Mazda has a winner with its CX-5 compact crossover so it’s no surprise it hasn’t changed drastically in the three years since I’d tested it. Wisely Mazda added its turbocharged version of the already peppy 2.5-liter SkyActiv-G I4 engine along the way and now... Continue Reading →

2022 Ford Maverick Lariat FWD

Ford returns to the compact pickup market with a hybrid ... Finally, finally, finally the nation’s leading truck maker has returned to the compact pickup market as Ford introduces the Maverick pickup. Oldtimers will recall the original Ford Maverick as an inexpensive compact car that did not distinguish itself, but this Maverick is gonna be... Continue Reading →

Diecast: 1956 Ford F-100 pickup

Auto World creates a simple, iconinc Ford pickup ... Ford’s pickup hasn’t always been the best-selling vehicle in North America, it just seems that way. But in the 1950s Ford redesigned its F-1 pickup and renamed it the F-100 (now the F-150), all in an effort to overtake Chevrolet. By 1956 the second generation Ford... Continue Reading →

2021 Ford Bronco

Bucking Bronco sure to give Jeep's Wrangler off-road competition ... New Bronco is a sweet ride, but only if you're going off-roading! Ford’s new off-road worthy Bronco is loaded with impressive features, but it is a bucking Bronco to be sure. For younger drivers the Bronco name may be new as there hasn’t been one...
