Honest car reviews both big and small
Caddy's CT4 sedan a value leader ... Seemingly forever Cadillac was THE American luxury car, its image built on being big, luxurious, powerful, pricey, and stylish, often to a gaudy extreme! All that changed when Japan’s luxury makes invaded and when coupled with growing sales of German luxury makes, Cadillac’s slice of the U.S. luxury... Continue Reading →
Subie's small Baja pickup looks great in 1/18 scale ... Leading sometimes is a lonely game. Just ask Subaru. Its Baja, a 4-door compact pickup based on a car platform was one of the first of its kind and can easily be seen in today’s multitude of such pickups. But it was not a sales... Continue Reading →
Seltos Turbo a bright spot among crossovers ... Some cars (or crossovers) just make you feel good. VW’s Beetle was one, the Mini Cooper another. It may be their looks, their ease of driving, their usefulness or simply their price. Sometimes it’s all of that, which brings me to this week’s drive, the Kia Seltos... Continue Reading →
New engine improves Nissan's compact pickup ...

Autoart's Civic Type R looks ready to rip in 1/18 scale ...

They were cute, taut, models that were meant to introduce enthusiast drivers to the Bavarian automaker’s wares. The 3 Series was an entry-level sportster that... Continue Reading →
Aviator puts Lincoln solidly back in the game ... Lincoln has been struggling for years like a one-armed barista fresh out of java. It’s no secret Lincoln has been looking for a new identity, a new look and hoping to regain its footing in the luxury car market. Finally, it seems to have arrived, but... Continue Reading →
Mercedes AMG GT3 in 1/18 scale; be still my beating heart ... Mercedes-Benz and motorsports have a long partnership, mostly stellar, with oodles of success. Take Team Mercedes’ six straight Formula 1 titles as the most recent mark of excellence. Yet its sports cars have been champions too through the years, a prime example was... Continue Reading →
Luyendyk's 1/43 scale Domino’s Lola a winner ... Back in the 1980s when I was covering the Indianapolis 500 for the Milwaukee Sentinel newspaper Arie Luyendyk was our hometown racer. How’s that? Arie is Dutch. But the likeable Indycar driver was sponsored by Provimi Veal, a Wisconsin company with a Dutch owner, so Arie was... Continue Reading →
Highlander gets bigger and better ... I’m not a bigger is better sort of guy. My parents used to tell me the best things come in small packages.
