Honest car reviews both big and small
America's answer to the Japanese car invasion ... Let me set the scene for you if you weren't around for the late 1960s to early '70s. Up until this point, gas was cheap in the US, about 31 cents a gallon, and we drove cars with big engines that got crappy gas mileage. But then... Continue Reading →
Its design started on the back of an envelope during an airplane flight I love this story because it's about an American automotive manufacturer that swung for the fence to save the company, much like AMC which I've written about many times on car spots here. This 1987 Avanti I spotted one day at the... Continue Reading →
The longest two-door coupe Ford ever marketed ... The Lincoln brand has always been all about luxury and this week's spot is no exception. In the late 1970s and '80s a new segment popped up, personal luxury cars and they were huge profit makers for the manufacturers and even more with specialty releases like this... Continue Reading →
A car that could swim ... I love spots like this because the Amphicar is certainly not a car, er boat, you see every day. Matter of fact, it's not really a car, well not a really good one, and not really a good boat either. What it is, is fun! I spotted this one... Continue Reading →
Expensive fuel and insurance rates led to its development I remember the fall of 1973. The Arabs decided to punish the US for backing Israel and reduced our oil supply. Nearly quadrupling the price of oil from $2.90 a barrel before the embargo to $11.65 a barrel in January 1974 gas prices went through the... Continue Reading →
Weird but way cool The 90s was a great time for Chrysler as they cranked out hit after hit. There was the PT Cruiser. Don't laugh because it sold over a million copies in ten years and might have been made longer if Chrysler hadn't kind of forgotten about it. They had a total beast... Continue Reading →
It went from sitting pretty to utter doom in just three years Do you remember DeSoto cars? I vaguely remember seeing comedian Groucho Marx pushing them. They are one of the many car brands that was a victim of competition and getting squeezed out of existence in the 60s. Introduced by Walter P. Chrysler in... Continue Reading →
Not your grandpa's Buick Growing up I remember my uncle having a Buick and that's pretty much the image the brand had with an aging demographic preferring a cushy ride more than performance. With not a lot of foot traffic in the dealerships they needed something much like American Motors that I've written about in... Continue Reading →
Cuter than a soft, fuzzy puppy. I'm usually a guy who likes the cars that have the big rip-roaring V8 engines but this week's spot, the Nissan Figaro, is just as cool but in a different way. Our daughter Meg spotted this Figaro at a show near Madison, WI. Note Vette right next to it.... Continue Reading →
Lambo's big ol' SUV packs a punch ,,, Fast SUVs were a thing for a while and this week's spot, a Lamborghini Urus, is a great example. While Lambo had a run at an SUV with the beastly LM002, this one the Uris, was much more refined and built for speed. Spotted this Uris at... Continue Reading →
