Die-cast: GP Replicas Ferrari 312 B3

Lauda's 1974 F1 car a spectacular 1:43 model ... Ferrari’s Formula 1 cars of the 1960s and 1970s were beautiful and less complex looking than today’s multi-winged wonders that seem to have stretched to limousine proportions. Niki Lauda’s sassy Ferrari 312 B3 of 1974 is a standout example of this with a simple solid nose... Continue Reading →

2022 Genesis G70 3.3T Sport Advanced

Can a luxury sport sedan be a value leader? Yes, if it's a Genesis G70 ... In the olden days, 1980s and 1990s, there were a few grunty sport sedans that wouldn’t send a buyer to Uncle Guido for a small loan. That was then, this is now, and a loan is a near certainty.... Continue Reading →

2021 Hyundai Sonata N Line

Sonata N Line perks up performance, but remains high value ... Performance comes at a price, always has, always will. Sometimes the price is simply a higher cost, sometimes it’s a gas-hog engine, sometimes it’s a brutal ride. Hyundai is known for value so when it introduced its performance N, or now N Line, models... Continue Reading →

DIe-Cast: 1987 Audi Sport quattro S1 Rally Racer

Autoart’s Pikes Peak racer a mountaintop experience ... Imagine, if you can, driving up a winding 12.42-mile long mountain road, mostly gravel and dirt with no guardrails and sheer drops sometimes thousands of feet straight down to certain death, should you slip over the edge. Then imagine doing it for time and with a 600... Continue Reading →

2021 Lexus LS 500 AWD

A high-lux sedan even a CEO could love, and afford ... Rarely do the options on a test car add up to even more than a modestly priced car or crossover itself, but that’s what happened with this week’s high-lux Lexus LS 500 AWD.             The sumptuous near limo added roughly $30,000 in options (14...

2022 Kia Carnival SX Prestige

Kia's renamed minivan a festival on wheels ... Minivans are about as popular these days as global warming. They, like sedans, have fallen victim to the SUV-ing of America. Chrysler, which basically invented the market for primo family movers, has stuck with its Pacifica, while Toyota has the Sienna and Honda the Odyssey. They are... Continue Reading →

2021 Land Rover Defender 90 First Edition

2-door Rover a retro rock star in looks, off-roading ... OK, I say Land Rover and what do you picture? Boxy, utilitarian off-roader running through tall elephant grass or African Savanna grass, a photographer’s head and camera poking from the open roof. Maybe an elephant, giraffe or even a lion wandering in the background? That’s... Continue Reading →

2022 Model Test Drive Previews

A little of this and that … It’s good to be good, but sometimes better to be lucky. How would you like to drive a $117,000 Maserati? I'm betting you'd like it! As a member of the Midwest Automotive Media Association (MAMA) I’m lucky enough to get a few invitations each year to test cars... Continue Reading →

2021 Mercedes-Benz GLA250 4Matic (AWD)

Mercedes delivers a sporty small crossover with its GLA250 ... Life is getting harder for premium brands. For instance the small crossover market is flooded with snazzy options, the Lexus UX, Volvo XC40 being two I’ve tested, while the pressure is coming from the likes of Mazda’s near perfect CX-30 along with Subaru’s Forester. Into... Continue Reading →

Die-cast: Autoart’s 2016-’17 Lamborghini CEntenario Roadster

Here's how you can afford a $2 million Lambo Roadster ... Not a Lamborghini tractor! Did you know Lamborghini makes tractors? Maybe not, unless your gentleman farmer acreage is considerable and located in Europe. I’ll bet you’re more familiar with Lambo’s supercars, like the sumptuous Centenario Roadster, of which just 20 were made and nine... Continue Reading →
