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 →

Mercury Breezeway: When a Merc wasn’t a Ford

Another unique automotive innovation of the '60s I hate to see a car company go out of business, or car line dropped, especially being such a big AMC guy. Most likely the cars they produced utilized several innovations to separate them from their competition. The rear engine Chevy Corvair, Unibody Construction by American Motors, and...

2013 Ford C-Max Energi

Sayonara Prius, C-Max Energi more useful, drives better Families looking for superior gas mileage, a small crossover/wagon with generous cargo room and a roomy back seat with massive headroom will feel comfortable in Ford’s new C-Max. This is a tall wagon this is 100% hybrid, as in that’s all you can buy, although there are... 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...

1957-59 Plymouth Belevedere: Restored to better than new

A car built in the big fin era I love big fins as mentioned in my previous post on another Chrysler product, the Imperial. For me it's as much a piece of art as it is an automobile. Think about it, what car stands out for you now? Sure some do like the Corvette for... Continue Reading →

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 →

Chrysler Imperial: When fins were in

Automotive ArtI love some of the cars of the late 50's and early 60's. Some were huge and of course there were the fins. Fins were in at the time because designers were taking their cues from the jet age. The luxury cars all had them like the Chrysler Imperial. Early on these cars were... Continue Reading →

Jay Leno’s Garage:’66 Volga

Boy does this guy have cool, and unusual cars, like a Volga. Check it out.

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 →

Die-cast: New Indy Eagles, ’84 March by Replicarz

Two Johncock racers, Swede Savage Eagle are latest releases While some of us old-timers remember front-engine roadsters at Indy, many more of us remember the variety of 1960s, ’70s and ’80s rear-engine racers, the Eagle, March, Foyt and Lotus chassis that won the Indianapolis 500 from 1965 forward. Drivers like A.J. Foyt, Gordon Johncock, Mario... Continue Reading →
