2013 Audi S5 Cabriolet

Convertible adds fun to fast, sure-footed Audi What’s more fun than a sports coupe? Well, a convertible version of a sports coupe with a supercharged V6 and all-wheel drive, to be sure. That’s what you get with Audi’s S5 Cabriolet Quattro, compared with its standard A5 coupe. The S5 comes as either a coupe with... Continue Reading →

Die-cast: Replicarz Marmon Wasp

Final look before the real deal hits I know I’ve been teasing you a bit with updates on the new Replicarz 1/18 die-cast model of the 1911 Marmon Wasp, but this one promises to be a winner. Well, it already was the winner of the inaugural Indianapolis 500 in 1911. (Uh, the real car, not... Continue Reading →

2013 Honda CR-V

Upon further review ... solid, but bulbous and not as refined as expected Every once in a while I get to test a vehicle twice in a single year. It’s rare, but this week I had the 2013 Honda CR-V AWD EX-L with navigation, just one model year newer than the CR-V I had tested early... Continue Reading →

2013 Volkswagen CC Sport

Streamlined CC Sport shows what VW can do When Volkswagen launched its sporty CC in 2009 it went head-to-head with its own Passat, at the time a dowdy midsize sedan that was in need of a restyling. Now, Passat is coming off a facelift last year to thin it’s body to blend more with the other... Continue Reading →

Die-cast: AutoWorld Vette, Tang started on Road&Track covers

Muscle cars are here to ‘pump you (your collection) up’ Ahhh, muscle cars, those high-horse brutes of the 1960s and early ’70s that lived the high life until the evil Oil Embargo forced us all to rethink power and gas guzzling, at least for a few years. These babies were stylish and fun, and AutoWorld... Continue Reading →

2013 Chevrolet Malibu 1LZ

New Malibu impressive as high-value family car Chevrolet continues to impress with nearly every new model, or revamped model it launches, save the Spark. Its new Malibu is another winner with tweaked styling to make it look more like a Camry, especially from the rear. But to me, that’s a good thing as the current... Continue Reading →

2013 Lexus GS450h

Luxurious GS450h gives hybrids a good name Lexus is synonymous with luxury, which is currently being driven home via the smooth quiet operation of its GS450h, a midsize luxury hybrid. There isn’t much more anyone would need in a luxury car than what the GS450h delivers. Ride is smooth and controlled, the engine gives it plenty... Continue Reading →

Die-Cast: Autoart Bugatti Veyron

Top dog in the car world kennel When you’re top of the heap people take notice, and that’s exactly what the Bugatti Veyron EB 16.4 is – top dog in the car world kennel. Autoart knows that makes it a prime candidate for a stunning die-cast model. Bugatti is a French exotic car maker that... Continue Reading →

2013 Chevrolet Spark 2LT

Chevy’s Korean micro car comes up short Chevrolet’s Spark is a confusing car. Why? Chevy has a perfectly fine entry-level car, the Sonic. Why it felt a need to go bargain basement with its Spark, a Daewoo (remember that name?) designed four-door micro or city car seems like a decision from the pre-bankruptcy General Motors....

2013 Dodge Dart Limited

New Dart hits the mark As a kid in the 1960s we had a Plymouth Valiant convertible, a kissin’ cousin to the Dodge Dart, both pleasant, sturdy, reliable compact cars. But by the 1970s, the Dart and Valiant had grown into ugly boxy things with parts that readily fell off. They, and other Dodge, Chrysler... Continue Reading →
