Car Spot: the Buick Reatta

GM's other two-seater Did you know that with the exception of Oldsmobile, all of GM's passenger-car divisions offered two-seaters during the late 1980s and early 1990s? There was Chevrolet Corvette, Pontiac Fiero, Cadillac Allante, and this week's car spot, the Buick Reatta. I think it's a cool-looking car but America didn't. Introduced in 1988, the Buick Reatta...

2023 Volvo XC90 Recharge AWD Ultimate: Bright Theme

Plug-in hybrid XC90 long on luxury, power, efficiency ... Apparently it’s time for me to adjust my thinking on where luxury SUV prices begin and end, especially end. Volvo, long the bastion of safe, solid wagons has made the transition to SUVs easily as it already knew how to make big family-haulers and so a... Continue Reading →

Car Spot: A Bathtub Nash

America's first adventure car before there were SUVs This spot brought back flashbacks for me when I spotted it on a lot/salvage yard because we had one as a kid, a 1950 Bathtub Nash. The pride of Kenosha. In the late 40s and early 50s, the bathtub styling trend was hot and Nash was seen... Continue Reading →

2023 Lexus RX 350 Limited

Restyled RX 350 still fills luxury SUV prescription, but ... Luxury and utility are ubiquitous with the Lexus RX 350, otherwise known as the unofficial soccer mom car of suburbia. This SUV that started out more as a tall wagon when introduced in the U.S. market in 1998 has been the best-selling luxury vehicle here... Continue Reading →

Car Spot: Subaru Sambar

OK, another truck but a really cool one. One of the cool things Mark and I love about going up to Road America is that chances are we are going to discover a really cool vehicle like this week's spot, a Subaru Sambar. This looks to be an early 90s example. The Sumbar began production... Continue Reading →

2023 Genesis G90 3.5T E-Supercharger AWD

Trust me, Santa wants this new luxo-liner for his sleigh ... Stumped about what to get me (or anyone) as a gift for the holidays? Look no further than the new bauble-laden Genesis luxury sedan, the G90. Santa may want to trade in his sleigh! G90 is simply a show stopper, maybe a traffic stopper... Continue Reading →

Car Spot: Bentley S1

Looks like a Rolls Royce but it's not So I pull up to grab some beer at a local convenience store and right next to me is this cool-looking Rolls, or I thought it was until I spotted the Bentley B on it. An image search shows it being a Bentley S1, this week's car... Continue Reading →

2022 Toyota Corolla Cross XLE AWD

Crossover version another solid, reliable Corolla ... Many automotive brands have their own version of the golden goose, the go-to model moniker that virtually assures success due to long-term image and reputation. Ford has Mustang and F-150, while Toyota has Camry and Corolla. For nearly 50 years now in the U.S. market, Corolla has been... Continue Reading →

Car Spot: Studebaker Lark and Pickup

One of the last of the independents that just ran out of cash ... Being a big fan of the cars from American Motors, I can appreciate what Studebaker brought to market and how they tried to challenge the Big Three. Like AMC, at times they were brilliant, but other times, not so much. In... Continue Reading →

2022 Ford Expedition Limited 4×4

Expedition proves big is in for size, and price ... Remember when buying a large SUV didn’t cost as much as your first or second house? Then again, your house didn’t have smart cruise control, a panoramic sunroof, a 360-degree camera, or even a fancy Bang & Olufsen stereo with 22 speakers. Heck, most of... Continue Reading →
