Braking News: Chrysler 200 @ Chicago Auto Show

Not a warmed up Sebring anymore Chrysler finally has the D sedan they always wanted. For 2015 they were able to start fresh and the new 200 is light years better than last year's 200. Mark and I had a chance to talk with one of the engineers who helped designed it at the 2014... Continue Reading →

2014 Ford Fiesta SE

Small cars can be fun to drive if spunky and good handling Driving small cars isn’t a turnoff to me. I enjoy their economy, their simplicity their easy handling and their low cost. But frugal needn’t mean blah, and Ford’s Fiesta has learned that lesson. It offers a spunky look and feel, good handling and an... Continue Reading →

2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid SE

Hybrid is good on gas mileage and easy on the eyes Ford’s new Fusion might do well to co-opt the old Miller Lite motto and tweak it a bit - Looks Great, Less Filling!

2013 Infiniti FX37 AWD

FX37, a love-hate relationshipInfiniti’s racy FX37 sport-ute is a classic case for a love-hate relationship.If you enjoy performance, and don’t really expect such from a sport-ute, you’ve got to love how the FX37 responds. It feels like a tall Porsche, with oodles of power from its new 3.7-liter V6. In fact, Infiniti rates it a... Continue Reading →

2014 Mazda6 Grand Touring

New Mazda6 boasts power, looks and efficiency             Confession, my first new car was a Mazda, a puny little GLC with barely enough power to get me up a fair sized hill. I’ve had a soft spot for Mazda ever since. Now comes the 2014 (that’s right, 2014) Mazda6, a car that doesn’t have to apologize... Continue Reading →
