2015 Nissan Rogue SV AWD

Rogue grows to happy medium in SUV/crossover market Nissan restyled its entry-level crossover, the Rogue, last year to give it a less trucky appearance and smooth its ride along with its appearance. It works and offers a little more interior room and overall length than most small SUVs, like Toyota’s RAV4 and Ford’s Escape. Rogue... Continue Reading →

2016 Acura ILX WatchPlus

ILX refreshed, steering and chassis upgraded Acura rolls out its 2016 ILX a bit early to update its look and shore up its underpinnings a mite too. The entry-level Acura that runs on a Civic platform was nice before its remake, but a bit sloppy in turns. Still, for the price, it was a fine... Continue Reading →

2015 Dodge Durango R/T Blacktop AWD

Durango R/T is SUV that looks like a racy minivan             Dodge generally doesn’t try to blend in as a brand, favoring bolder styling than most competitors. That’s what some of us like about Dodge. Dodge’s Durango though is a bit different in that it stands out from other large SUVs, especially with its wide... Continue Reading →

2015 Toyota Avalon Hybrid

Avalon Hybrid excels at comfort, quiet, fuel efficiency A couple years ago Toyota wised up and restyled its full-size Avalon sedan to avoid it turning into the Grand Marquis of Japanese makes. The more stylish lines, thinned taillights and overall slimed down look moved it from senior-citizen-mobile to family friendly sedan. Now comes the hybrid... Continue Reading →

2015 Lexus RC 350 F Sport

Great-looking Lexus RC 350 packs performance Lexus cars always look luxurious, rarely racy, until now. Lexus stylists have cranked up their angular mojo to create their first truly sporty looking sports coupe – the RC 350. I’ve read or heard all sorts of jawing from other car writers that the RC isn’t racy enough, sits... Continue Reading →

Die-cast: Autoart Gumpert Apollo

Gumpert Apollo: Only the name is funny for this super car Let’s face it, with a name like Gumpert it’s hard to take a car too seriously. You sort of suspect it will come with a box of chocolates. But the Gumpert Apollo S deserves respect, it’s a rocket of a supercar and developed by... Continue Reading →

2015 Toyota Sienna XLE Premium AWD

2015 Toyota Sienna XLE Premium AWD Minivans are wonderful for families, no other vehicle is more practical. But in saying that, I know I’ve scared off at least a sizeable portion of my readers. Hear me out, Toyota’s Sienna is a fine people and cargo hauler and get this, it offers all-wheel-drive. It’s the only... Continue Reading →

Die-cast: Automodello 1964 Marcos 1800

Automodello’s 1964 Marcos 1800 Unless you’re of the age where the name Marcos reminds you of a former Philippine strong man/president, you may be a bit puzzled by the Marcos automobile name. But in the 1960s Marcos was a racer, one that looked somewhat Italian, but with a long nose more shaped like that of... Continue Reading →

2015 Lincoln Navigator 4×4

Lincoln Navigator a restyled Expedition for a lot more Back-to-back test drives of Ford’s Expedition and Lincoln’s Navigator proved both are extremely comfortable, luxurious large sport-utility trucks, but also highlighted the folly of marketing. These were close to identical trucks, both loaded with technology and luxury touches, the Ford being the near top-end King Ranch edition.... Continue Reading →

2015 Ford Expedition King Ranch 4X4

Ford's Expedition King Ranch a big, luxurious hauler             More than 10 years have passed since I last reviewed a Ford Expedition, which tells you something about how little Ford’s biggest sport-utility truck changes. Like the Chevrolet Suburban and Tahoe and GMC Yukon it competes with, the Expedition is a steady Eddie. It’s truck-based and... Continue Reading →
