Honest car reviews both big and small
Spark's 1:43 scale Porsche 904 replicates a sports car icon ... Porsche was already challenging Ferrari in the mid-1960s, as was Ford with its GT40, for sports car supremacy in the major European races. Think Le Mans and the Targa Florio. And while all three had, and some continue to have, success in the sports... Continue Reading →
A touchdown pass that came too late in the game ... This is one of those “I was there when it happened” stories. For any of you who follow me regularly, you know I'm a huge American Motors geek and that's because my dad worked there from 1963 to 1989. Those early years were booming... Continue Reading →
Luxury Convertible's gutsy V8, drop-top are smooth operators ... Last time I drove the stunning Lexus LC 500 convertible I quoted Voltaire saying we must feel and be affected by beauty, not just see it. I don’t quote Voltaire often! But I’ve become spoiled by such luxury when it arrives in my driveway. Yet who... Continue Reading →
At least in Germany ... The hottest car on the planet in 1966 was the Ford Mustang. By the end of the year, it set an all-time sales record with just over 600,000 rolling off the assembly line. Mustangs were everywhere, except in Germany where somebody else, a truck manufacturer, had a trademark for the... Continue Reading →
Stylish new plug-in hybrid SUV oozes luxury ... Credit Mazda with creating its first plug-in hybrid, the stylish three-row CX-90 SUV, which takes the place of its CX-9 for 2024. Mazda is moving mostly to double digits after its CX label for all its crossovers and SUVs, so CX-30, CX-50, CX-70, CX-90, oh, and there’s... Continue Reading →
The pride of Kalamazoo was created by a Russian immigrant ... Nothing screams New York City more than the bright yellow Checker Cab. The spacious taxi served New Yorkers in the Big Apple from the 1960's into the latter part of the 20th century before being replaced mostly by the Ford Crown Victoria and Chevy... Continue Reading →
Electrified luxury SUV makes great even greater ... Hold on for just a minute, I thought I’d driven the finest luxury compact SUV about 18 months ago when I gushed over the twin-turbo 375-horse V6 Genesis GV70. But now they’ve gone and electrified it, boosting the power. I know, I know, some of you feel... Continue Reading →
If you can find a better convertible, buy it ... The mid-80s was a desperate time for Chrysler and Lee Iacocca knew he had to move fast to save the company. The K Car did it. Yup, that crappy K Car Dodge Aries, Plymouth Reliant, Chrysler LeBaron, and Dodge 400 sold more than 2 million... Continue Reading →
Sleek new Prius Prime provides a plug-in with style ... Consider this, driving more than 200 miles in a week and only paying ten bucks, and change, for the privilege. No, I wasn’t coasting down hills and there was no tornadic wind at my back. I was slipping through the air in a sleek new... Continue Reading →
The International House of Ford ... Growing up in the 1970s and having a dad who worked in the auto industry, American Motors, I can tell you it was not a fun time. If this sounds familiar, let me know as it was pretty much all about politics. Because the United States supported Israel in... Continue Reading →
