Die-cast: LeMans-winning Ford GT40s

Ixo's Ford GT40 models offer good detail, value in 1:43 scale Ford’s GT40 is the most beautiful enclosed race car ever made, and one of the most successful too. That’s my design bias, but the GT40’s success can’t be argued. Funny thing, it was created to settle a score at the highest levels of the automotive... Continue Reading →

2013 Nissan Sentra SL

Sharp new Nissan Sentra has its mojo back A few years back Nissan’s Sentra lost its way. For years it had been right up there with Toyota’s Corolla and Honda’s Civic as a premier entry level sedan, great for young families. But then it started to look like a cheap little car, inside and out. Worse... Continue Reading →

2014 Subaru Forester 2.0XT Premium

Subaru adds some macho to its 2014 Forester  Simply put, I have a new favorite small sport-utility vehicle, the 2014 Subaru Forester. While the rest of the small ute world is going toward crossover status and swoopy designs, the Forester, one of the early crossover/utes with AWD, is going away from that. It’s going all...

2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid SE

Hybrid is good on gas mileage and easy on the eyes Ford’s new Fusion might do well to co-opt the old Miller Lite motto and tweak it a bit - Looks Great, Less Filling! That seems apt for Fusion’s hybrid model, which was my first full drive of the swoopy new Fusion with its fastback... Continue Reading →

2013 Chevrolet Volt (plug-in electric)

Smooth, quiet, but Volt  packs power too Chevrolet’s Volt is the leader of the hybrid pack when it comes to performance. It’s quick and handles almost like a sports sedan. I know what you’re thinking, “No Way it’s quick!” Ah, but you’d be wrong. The difference between the plug-in electric hybrid Volt and a gas-powered... Continue Reading →

2013 Infiniti FX37 AWD

FX37, a love-hate relationshipInfiniti’s racy FX37 sport-ute is a classic case for a love-hate relationship.If you enjoy performance, and don’t really expect such from a sport-ute, you’ve got to love how the FX37 responds. It feels like a tall Porsche, with oodles of power from its new 3.7-liter V6. In fact, Infiniti rates it a... Continue Reading →

2013 Toyota Avalon

Avalon XLE Premium aims for younger drivers An old automotive axiom goes that you can sell a young man’s car to an old man, but you can’t sell an old man’s car to a young man.Apparently Toyota didn’t know that, until now. Toyota’s Avalon, long a senior citizen favorite, has been restyled and its suspension... Continue Reading →
