Die-cast: Autoart’s 2013 Peugeot 208 T16 Pikes Peak

Pikes Peak rally car a sexy winged warrior ... I have to admit that European rally cars, the little high-powered mini racers with big engines and wings to match, fascinate me visually. They look tough and aggressive and fast and fun. Now Autoart releases a sharp all black 1/18 scale version of the Peugeot 208... Continue Reading →

2017 Jaguar XE 35t Prestige

Jaguar XE stands out in all its models ... If looks are important to you, styling that will get you noticed or at least be recognized as a non-generic luxury car, then Jaguar’s new entry-level luxury sedan, the XE, should have your name printed on its title. The new small Jag has dashing looks that communicate... Continue Reading →

Die-cast: BoS Models’ Buick Flxible Premier Ambulance

A beautiful Buick ambulance in 1/18 scale ... Every kid of the 1950s and 1960s remembers the extremely long brightly colored ambulances of the day, either from seeing them as they ran our city’s streets with lights flashing and sirens blaring, or from TV shows of the day. Cadillac ambulances with their big tailfins were popular to... Continue Reading →

2017 Genesis G90 RWD 5.0 Ultimate

Genesis has it all, but the panache and name ... When Toyota launched Lexus in 1989, its first sedans impersonated Mercedes-Benz models, but cost a lot less. Now Hyundai has launched its impressive new Genesis luxury car lineup with two models and the top-level G90 looks like a Bentley. Even its logo resembles that of... Continue Reading →

Die-cast: NEO 1966 Pontiac GTO Convertible

Pontiac GTO Convertible = crisp, muscular model ... Those of us of a certain age used to worship (or close to it) muscle cars in the 1960s, and many credit Pontiac with launching the idea of a muscular mid-size car that the masses could afford. Pontiac’s first was the 1964 Tempest with the GTO package... Continue Reading →

2017 Toyota Avalon Hybrid XLE Premium

Hybrid Avalon comfy big sedan, easy on the gas ... Sadly big comfortable sedans are about as popular these days as a new Nickelback album or The Dixie Chicks at a Texas veterans fundraiser. Too bad because as passé as big sedans are, they can move a family of five in smooth, quiet comfort and also... Continue Reading →

2017 Volvo V60 T5 AWD Cross Country

Volvo 's V60 Cross Country touts pizzazz, not smooth ride ... Volvo’s V60 Cross Country wagon/crossover wisely borrows some styling pizzazz from the likes of Mazda, then goes about saturating the vehicle with its usual core competency, safety. Pretty nice combo, but it ladles on enough luxury to push the V60 to luxury-level pricing, but without... Continue Reading →

Die-cast: Replicarz’s 1964 Indy Smokey Yunick sidecar racer

PRE-RELEASE REVIEW: Sidecar racer unique, weird, unsuccessful, but a cool die-cast model ... The mid-1960s were a wild and revolutionary time for race car design and technology at the Indianapolis 500, the predominant race in the world at the time. The era saw roadsters with their engines in the front replaced by racers, such as Lotuses, with... Continue Reading →

2017 Honda Accord Hybrid Touring

New Hybrid Accord comfy family sedan with top-notch mpg ...             Honda’s Accord is a car that’s hard not to like. It’s comfortable, handles well and provides a first rate ride. There’s room for four or five adults and the trunk is sufficiently large. Sexy it ain’t. Now add a hybrid power system and well,... Continue Reading →

Die-cast: Automodello’s 1966 Ford Galaxie 500

Rare 7-Liter Hardtop beautiful in 1/24 scale ... As a kid I saw a lot of Ford Galaxies around the neighborhood and some of my northern Indiana relatives who farmed had them and weren’t afraid to run them out in a cornfield if necessary. But rarer was the Galaxie 500 7-Liter Hardtop, a luxury model that wasn’t... Continue Reading →
