2016 Scion iA

  Scion iA a snazzy low-cost small sedan Rarely has so little felt like so much. Scion delivers possibly the highest value car for the entry-level market and does it with a good looking small sedan that is value priced and yet looks and feels much more like a mid-priced compact sedan. The new iA,... Continue Reading →

2016 Kia Sedona SXL

New Kia Sedona improves on solid package I had driven the new Kia Sedona early this year and frankly, it had a few issues. I liked much the minivan had to offer then, and now. But I’m most impressed that all of my earlier concerns seem to have been tended to within the first year.... Continue Reading →

Die-cast: BoS-Models’ Chevrolet Corvette Corvair Concept

Corvette Corvair Concept sharp car at low cost Early Corvettes were stylish sports cars, not the big fire-breathing muscle rods they became by the 1970s and that they continue as today. So a fastback model in 1954 would have been cooler than even Ford’s Thunderbird and shows General Motors had the right idea, if only... Continue Reading →

2016 Volvo S60 Cross Country T5 AWD

Volvo S60 Cross Country tall, awkward looking I really liked the last Volvo S60 sedan I drove and was curious about this new Cross Country model that adds all-wheel drive, plus more pronounced fender flares to give it a somewhat different look. AWD continues to gain popularity, especially in the northern climes such as ours.... Continue Reading →

2015 Dodge Dart SXT Rallye

Dodge Dart SXT sharp looker, affordable I’ve always liked the lightly regarded Dodge Dart because it’s a sporty looking entry-level car with a low price tag. It’s affordable and doesn’t look like a cheap econobox. I gave it my Zoomie Car of the Year award in 2013. So I was a bit surprised I wasn’t as... Continue Reading →

What car or truck would Darth Vader drive?

OK, stick with me here Today is Halloween and decided to wear my Darth Vader costume. I came up with the idea of this wacky post while I was driving into work this morning, wearing the costume. Wish I could have used the forces of the Dark Side to get the pokey drivers going. Yes,... Continue Reading →

2015 Buick Encore AWD Premium

Buick Encore surprisingly nimble The Buick Encore and Chevy Trax are kissin’ cousins riding on the same platform with the same engine and transmission, but aimed at different markets. Not surprisingly the Chevy aims at value-minded and younger buyers, while the Buick aims more upscale, at empty-nesters who demand luxury and feel they’ve hit a stage... Continue Reading →

Die-cast: 1959 Dodge Custom Royal Lancer Convertible

NEO’s 'Forward Look' Dodge Lancer is Fin-tastic I admit to having a soft spot in my car styling heart for the “Forward Look” Chrysler and Dodge models created by Virgil Exner in the late 1950s and early ‘60s. These big-finned beauties featured dramatic taillights and oodles of chrome trim on their fronts, sides and backs. My Uncle Paul... Continue Reading →

Die-cast: CMC 1930 Alfa Romeo 6C

CMC’s Alfa Romeo 6C another beauty Alfa Romeo only recently returned to the U.S. market, but it has been wowing Italians, and other European drivers with the lively nature of its sports cars for 105 years. Enzo Ferrari worked for Alfa and raced them. In fact, early Ferrari teams drove Alfas as part of Scuderia... Continue Reading →

2016 Honda Pilot Touring AWD

Restyled Honda Pilot roomier, improved overall The Honda Pilot has been a reliable big box of a sport-utility vehicle for years, nothing fancy, but usual Honda quality and solid build. For 2016 the Pilot is restyled and rounded to give it a smoother more refined look, one that might be confused with Buick’s Enclave. In... Continue Reading →
