Honest car reviews both big and small
Luxurious crossover, quiet comfortable family mover A lot of time has passed since I last tested Nissan’s fine Murano crossover, yet it remains a solid, quiet, comfortable family mover. While many folks buy this in front-drive form, Nissan says, I had the next to top level SL model with AWD. That means it goes for... Continue Reading →
CMC’s Ferrari detail excels, including first working trunk latch There are few, if any, models in the die-cast world as finely made as those produced by CMC. And while pricey, they are well worth the cost for serious, selective collectors. Consider that the new 1:18 Ferrari 250 California is hand-assembled from 1,634 individual parts including wire-spoked... Continue Reading →
The aim was right, well sort of Ford invested $400,000,000 in its development and those were mid-5o's numbers. Can you imagine what that would have taken in today's dollars? Yikes. It would be enough to bankrupt a car maker. The Edsel is most famous for being a marketing disaster and the name "Edsel" became synonymous with commercial... Continue Reading →
A handsome winner that slots below TSX Acura created one of the finest entry-level sport sedans with its TSX a few years back, but now introduces another winner to slot in just under the TSX. For 2013 Acura rolls out the ever so slightly smaller ILX to fill the entry slot as TSX has crept... Continue Reading →
Titanium edition pricy as a near premium small ute Let’s start with the shocking part, the price. The tested Ford Escape listed at $34,735. Granted this IS the top-of-the-line 2013 Escape Titanium 4WD, but that price is near premium small-ute territory, one where you expect a luxury nameplate. By adding the Titanium moniker it means...

In the early 50's most of the car manufacturers were going the "bigger is better" route.  Nash Motor Company executives were examining the market to offer American buyers an economical transportation alternative. In came the Nash Metropolitan. Wait a minute, isn't the all coming around again with cars like the Fiat 500 and Smart Car? Same concept,... Continue Reading →
Since it was nice this past weekend, I hopped on my motorcycle and took a ride to the Wilson Center in Brookfield, WI for an art show. No wait, not just an "art show". Sure they had paintings, which I barely glanced at, but they also had some pretty cool cars which are really rolling... Continue Reading →
Refined family sedan with superb CVT deserves its due As in the political world where the frontrunners get all the hype and some worthy candidates get brushed to the sidelines or back pages, Nissan’s Altima doesn’t always get its due. That may be about to change. The 2013 Altima has been revamped to be slightly wider and... Continue Reading →
Shelby Mustang gorgeous in red, well priced There may be something sweeter and more nostalgic than a 1967 Shelby Mustang GT500, but I can’t think just what. Autoart outdoes itself with this gorgeous red 1:18 diecast with broad white LeMans stripes nose to tail and at a relatively low MSRP of 164.90. Let’s face it,... Continue Reading →
Two-seater delivers attitude, power, performance - at a high cost  Perfect timing! I had just driven the raciest version of Fiat’s tiny 500, the Abarth, when an even racier MINI Cooper Coupe, the John Cooper Works, or JCW, edition slotted into the test garage. The Coupe is MINI’s new model, with no back seat and... Continue Reading →
