Die-Cast Autoart Pagani Huayra Roadster

Rockin' Huayra Roadster is packed with detail ... Think of an Italian supercar and likely you’ll conjure up images of a Ferrari or Lamborghini in all its red or yellow sleekness that translates into sexy, exotic, and fast. But now there’s Pagani, another Italian make out of Modena (Ferrari’s birthplace), and its sleek mistresses of... Continue Reading →

2021 Ford F-150 4×4 Supercrew Lariat (hybrid)

Hybrid F-150 generates apocalypse-conquering power ... After 43 years as the best-selling vehicle in the United States I suppose nothing should surprise me about the latest Ford F-150. Ford hasn’t stayed atop this highly competitive money-making bonanza of a market for U.S. carmakers because it coasts. Nope, it keeps re-inventing the envelope. For 2021 Ford... Continue Reading →

2021 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid Limited

Pacifica minivan nears perfection with quiet plug-in hybrid ... Chrysler has been in the minivan business longer than anyone else and it stands to reason that after 35+ years they’re nearing perfection. It helps that Chrysler never stopped innovating and it still leads the way as the 2021 Pacifica is the only plug-in hybrid minivan... Continue Reading →

Bright Yenko Chevy, Psychedelic Seventies cars double the fun ... What’s more fun than one special limited edition Johnny Lightning 1:64 die-cast car? Two of course. Two of Auto World's latest JL 2-pack releases. Auto World is now packaging two limited edition cars into Themed 2 Packs for its finely detailed Johnny Lightning brand. The... Continue Reading →

VW Atlas Cross Sport SEL R-Line Premium

Shorter Cross Sport aims at slightly different buyer ... Rarely are two vehicles as similar as the Volkswagen Atlas and Atlas Cross Sport. Rarer yet is my getting to test such a duo within weeks of each other. A little more than a month ago I enjoyed the Atlas, which is about 5 inches longer... Continue Reading →

Die-Cast: Auto World’s 1971 Chevy Camaro RS/SS

1971 Camaro RS/SS full of sophisticated style, sharp detail ... Fond memories of an early car follow many of us who grew up in the 1960s and 1970s and the second generation Camaro fills this category for me, and likely many others. I loved the original Camaro’s shape, but the second gen was a smooth... Continue Reading →

2021 Hyundai Elantra SEL

Elantra offers value with distinctive looks, spunky performance  ... Surprises tend to hang out at the low end of the automotive market, where expectations may be lower because, well, prices are lower. That continues to be the case with Hyundai’s popular Elantra compact sedan, refined and upgraded for 2021. I had the SEL model, just... Continue Reading →

Die-cast: Autoart’s 1938 Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic

Gorgeous classic Bugatti  a tiny jewel in 1:43 scale ... Oh, be still my swoopy car design-loving heart. Autoart has created a 1:43 gem of a classic Bugatti that may be the most beautiful car ever. That may sound overhyped, but it is not. The 1938 Bugatti 57SC Atlantic is drop-dead gorgeous now, just as... Continue Reading →

Die-Cast: DNA Collectible’s VW Golf GTI Clubsport S

Golf GTI Clubsport S a hot hatch even in 1:18 scale ... Never as a teen or 20-something driver did I think Volkswagen would create a performance-oriented hatchback. The Beetle was about to go away, the Rabbit was new, and the Dasher was sort of sportier looking, but really, not so hot. Yet over the... Continue Reading →

2021 Volvo XC60 Recharge T8 Inscription

Plug-in hybrid XC60 a looker and performer ...  A few years back I tested Volvo’s smallish mid-size crossover, the XC60, and was swept clean out of my cross-trainers. At the time, most crossovers were blah lookers and ho-hum performers, but today’s market is moving, as they always seem to, toward performance, and yet smaller carbon... Continue Reading →
