Die-cast: Auto World 1977 Dodge Warlock

Blingy Warlock pickup stirred our love of custom trucks ... I have to admit that when I heard Auto World was releasing the 1977 Dodge Warlock I was confused. I’d never heard of it, and I pride myself in being a pretty heady car guy. Of course, it’s a truck. Still, in 1977 I was... Continue Reading →

2021 Volkswagen Atlas SEL

New VW Atlas is a 3-row Easy Rider ... Some vehicles stand out by not standing out. They are what I call Easy Riders, or maybe more appropriately Easy Drivers.

2021 Kia K5 EX

New Kia K5 a sedan with looks, performance, value ... I’m not sure what else a buyer could want from a stylish family sedan beyond what Kia’s K5 offers, unless they wanted to pay much more.

2020 Land Rover Defender 110 First Edition

Rover Defender goes mostly back to its off-road roots ... My introduction to Land Rover was as a kid when Matchbox created a sharp dark green boxy version with brown plastic luggage atop its roof.

2021 Subaru Crosstrek Ltd.

Crosstrek merges hatchback styling, crossover utility ... Mix a love of hatchbacks with a need for AWD and you have the recipe Subaru has nearly perfected in its 2021 Crosstrek. I’ve loved hatches for years and really, if you think on it, isn’t that what all crossovers are? But crossovers aren’t very slick looking as... Continue Reading →

2021 RAM TRX Crew Cab 4×4

Devilish T-RX ready to crush Ford Raptor sales ... Tell someone you’re driving a 702-horsepower pickup and they look at you like you’ve grown horns from your noggin and said 29-cent gas is back. But it’s true, the Ram 1500 TRX Crew Cab packs a supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI V8, the same used in both the... Continue Reading →

2020 Ford Edge ST AWD

While the ST would welcome family buyers, as do the other Edge models, this one takes aim... Continue Reading →

2020 BMW X7 M50i

Muscular X7 M50i ups the SUV performance ante ... When the heck is a large $94,000 SUV with 456 horsepower not enough? German luxury vehicle maker BMW would answer, when it’s an X7 50i model. Thus the X7 M50i. Those in the know of BMW lingo realize adding an M to any BMW nameplate means... Continue Reading →

2020 Subaru WRX STI

WRX STI is fast, furious and noisy as ... You know that sound of running a vacuum and it sucking up a load of dirt, gravel and maybe some road salt in winter.
