Honest car reviews both big and small
Range Rover Velar a sport-ute rolling in luxury ... Don’t ask me what Velar means; something to do with your soft palette, but that doesn’t make me think of cars much. So to me it sounds like another made-up car name. I suspect though that Land Rover feels Velar sounds sexy and luxurious, which is... Continue Reading →
Crosstrek sporty, practical, moderately priced ... Subaru takes a serious step forward with its new Crosstrek, a small crossover that mates sporty styling with practicality and moderate cost, a winning combo. While the former Crosstrek was sporty, it rode worse than most trucks with a choppy ride that spoiled its otherwise useful and economical underpinnings.... Continue Reading →
New Rogue comfortable, roomy ... Rogue is Nissan’s top-selling vehicle, has been around awhile and proved itself reliable, and if you’re a Star Wars geek, its name appeals like none other on the market. What it has going for it in the small sport-utility/crossover market is that it’s not too small. It has good interior... Continue Reading →
New Audi Q5 remains smooth, luxurious … Evidently once a smooth operator, always a smooth operator. Audi’s new Q5 compact luxury crossover/sport-ute carries on its tradition of smooth, sporty performance with luxury ladled on for good measure. It’s a bit larger than its predecessor and slightly more fuel efficient too. This is an all-around winner.... Continue Reading →
Mazda6 GT stylish and loaded with goodies ... While theaters are bulging with “Star Wars,” auto dealer showrooms are embroiled in car wars as top-selling mid-size sedans butt heads with their latest models. Top of the sales heap are the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord, both of which have been revamped for 2018. But one... Continue Reading →
Honda Accord styling catches up with its competence ... Finally Honda has come out of its conservative styling funk to make its always solid Accord sedan look like more than a very reliable box. The 2018 Accord is wider and lower than its predecessor and looks more muscular and exciting with a larger grille, snazzy... Continue Reading →
Kia's Stinger GT2 a world-class sport sedan ... Like Porsche when it launched the unlikely Macan, its first sport-utility vehicle, Kia has crushed expectations by creating a premium level sports sedan with its 2018 Stinger. Some folks likely were still stuck on the notion that the South Korean car firm only churned out econoboxes and... Continue Reading →
Racy Ferrari 250s, when Ferrari was dominant ... Part of the fun of any die-cast or model car collection is in comparing the differences of similar cars made a couple years apart. So when American-Excellence sent us the Le Mans-winning Ferraris from 1958 and 1960, both made by Ixo, the fun began. These are from... Continue Reading →
Cute Rio hatchback a sporty low-cost option ... I liked the high-value Hyundai Accent sedan a week ago, so it stands to reason I’d like its cousin, the sportier looking Kia Rio hatchback this week. Accent no longer comes in a hatch, so if you prefer this body style, which I do, the Rio is... Continue Reading →
Michelin tire truck a big win for Bib … Who doesn’t recognize, and like, the Michelin Man? He’s probably even more famous than the Pillsbury Dough Boy, although I’ve never heard Bibendum (Bib for short) giggle. Well, IXO loves him too and has come up with an unusual Michelin tire truck, especially for the North... Continue Reading →
