2014 Fiat 500L Lounge

Fiat goes long with 500L (get it?) to connect with more buyers Credit Fiat for quickly deducing that its cute, but diminutive, 500 runabout simply won’t do for many U.S. families.

2014 Mitsubishi Mirage ES

Pokey Mitsubishi Mirage offers bare bones performance Last year when I drove the 109-horsepower Nissan Versa Note I thought I’d driven the slowest accelerating car made in the past 10 years, but that was before I’d driven the new Mitsubishi Mirage.

2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible

  Muscular Stingray convertible opens up more ways to have fun I had to laugh at the timing.

But by the weekend, the... Continue Reading →

2014 Toyota Venza XLE V6 AWD

Venza XLE delivers power, good looks and AWD Five years have passed since I last drove Toyota’s Venza, a crossover based on its popular Camry sedan.
