2022 Subaru Forester Wilderness

Wilderness trim moves Forester further off road ... I’m not sure it’s ever totally fair to test a vehicle in Wisconsin in January, but then we all DO have to drive here in winter and Subaru designs its cars for our climate with full-time AWD. So I guess I shouldn’t feel too sorry for the... Continue Reading →

Car Spotting: Jeep Gladiator’s Great Great Grandpa

Enjoying retirement in Florida Florida is a great place to see classic cars since the weather is great. No salt on the roads means that a car can have a very long life. Take for example this Willys Jeep I spotted on a recent trip. As best I can tell, it began life as a... Continue Reading →

2021 Ford F-150 SuperCrew Lariat (hybrid)

Ford's hybrid F-150 SuperCrew is all the pickup a person can use ... Driving the new Ford F-150 SuperCrew Lariat was like déjà vu all over again. Doesn’t happen often, but I got to test drive the new hybrid version of Ford’s most popular (in fact North America’s most popular) vehicle for a second time... Continue Reading →

Car Spotting: One of one Mercury

Automotive icon steps in to make it happen The Mercury Park Lane was a full-sized automobile produced by the Mercury division of Ford Motor Company.

While it would easily keep up with traffic,... Continue Reading →

2022 Toyota Prius XLE AWD

Hybrid power, interior comfort and awesome MPG = winner! Hard as it may be to believe, Toyota’s ground-breaking hybrid, the Prius, has been around for 25 years. It’s the top-seller and an excellent choice, still. A few years ago Toyota wisely improved the Prius styling to round it more and give it a hint of... Continue Reading →

2022 Cadillac XT6 Premium Luxury AWD

No big fins, but Caddy recaptures luxury in an SUV ... Luxury, and the perception of luxury, dictate price in the auto world, always have. But today the statistical differences between vehicles within a segment often are miniscule, a half inch here, five horsepower there. Exterior or interior styling, and the vehicle’s brand perception are... Continue Reading →

Its mother was an S-10 Blazer

Supercool Rodster I love unusual cars. Maybe that's why I like AMC cars so much. They tend to attract me. So I was at this car show in Florida recently where there were all kinds of cool Corvettes, Ford GTs, and even a 1970 AMX. But it was this Rodster that caught my eye. It's... Continue Reading →

2022 Toyota 4Runner TRD Sport

Why should Jeep have all the nostalgic off-road fun? ... Jeep has been mining the retro vein of off-roading SUVs for decades, so why shouldn’t Toyota? This Y-chromosome packed market imagines itself crushing boulders and slopping through mud that’s butt deep for fun on weekends. Never mind that the family might like a comfortable ride...

Car Spotting: VW’s compact car, the Type 3

A "wagon" comes to the VW line ... When just about anybody mentions VW, the first image is probably the bug. Not exactly a family-friendly vehicle and that's part of the reason VW introduced the Type 3 at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1961. In the U.S. it was to compete with Chevy's Corvair which...
