2013 Chrysler 200

Chrysler 200 Touring feels like a rental car, but scores with good MPG I wasn’t expecting much when the silver Chrysler 200 Touring arrived. It’s not a styling leader and isn’t far removed from its Sebring predecessor. It looks like a rental car and feels like one too. This one tried to spiff up a bit... Continue Reading →

2013 Dodge Challenger SRT8 Core

Challenger SRT8 puts 470 ponies under you Muscle is one thing. Looks are another. But I still expect a boatload of amenities at $41 grand. The “TorRed” Dodge Challenger SRT8 Core that I blasted around town in last week targets the fanatical muscle car lover. It packs a 6.4-liter V8 SRT HEMI that punches out... Continue Reading →

2013 Lincoln MKZ AWD

New Lincoln MKZ's crisp style shows flair, staying power More than three years have passed since I last tested a Lincoln, which tells you a lot about how stagnant Lincoln’s lineup has been. Lincolns have been little more that gussied up Fords for some time, but that may be changing as Lincoln gets serious about... Continue Reading →

2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Crew Cab

New Silverado quieter, more refined and plenty strong A pickup is a pickup, there’s no two ways about it. Pickup trucks are tall and boxy and, well, originally intended for work, primarily in farm fields and on construction sites. That’s why they ride higher and even the new – nose to tail – Chevrolet Silverado has an... Continue Reading →

2013 Volkswagen Passat TDI SEL

Passat's diesel economical and we're not blowing smoke!Perception often matters as much as reality, especially in the retail world of which the auto business is a top dog.So the perception of a diesel engine being loud, smoky and not terribly pleasant to drive remains Volkswagen’s biggest obstacle when selling its pleasant mid-size front-drive Passat. This... Continue Reading →

2014 Land Rover Range Rover 5.0 V8 SC

Supercharged Rover strong on power, luxury, off-road ability Dating myself here, but imagine a Crocodile Dundee type character intoning, Luxury Ute? Now this is a Luxury Ute as he points to a large, muscular Range Rover SC. The Aussie accent may seem appropriate too as Land Rover, the firm that makes Range Rovers, was for years...

2013 Hyundai Genesis 5.0 R-Spec

Genesis 5.0 R-Spec a styling winner, but a mixed bag Hyundai certainly knows what it’s doing as far as styling and creating a quality car these days, that’s why it continues to gain market share. But its large Genesis luxury sedan is a mixed bag. Here’s why. First, the tested Genesis 5.0 R-Spec is a... Continue Reading →

2014 KIA Cadenza Premium

Cadenza delivers solid luxury, stellar looks After a week of hearing jokes from colleagues about me driving a piece of office furniture, a more musically minded friend clued me in to the KIA Cadenza sedan’s true meaning. For non-music majors, cadenza is usually an improvised ornamental passage, played or sung by a soloist, often at the... Continue Reading →

Die-Cast: Replicarz 1911 Indy 500 Winner, Marmon Wasp

New Replicarz Marmon Wasp creates buzz! After all the buzz created by early preview photos, the new Replicarz 1911 Indianapolis 500-winning Marmon Wasp, proves worth the wait. I know I’ve been telling you for a while, and showing you photos, that teased at how special this 1:18 scale diecast would be, but now I’ve got... Continue Reading →

2014 Chevrolet Impala 2LT

New Chevy Impala brings GM all the way back Originally I thought Chevrolet’s Cruze signaled that the giant automaker was back, back to its 1960s world of innovative, high-value, handsomely styled vehicles. Cruze may have been the beginning, but Impala really says that Chevy has arrived. Since 1958 Impala has told folks that their neighbors have... Continue Reading →
