2012 Toyota Prius C Two

Smaller hybrid easy on gas, hard to get out of its own way The new Toyota Prius C is what most folks think of when they imagine a hybrid car. They think of an extremely small car that gets great gas mileage, but has a hard time getting out of its own way. But unlike many... Continue Reading →

2013 Scion FR-S

Spiffy sportster rekindles Toyota's sport coupe tradition Finally, a new sports coupe from Toyota, albeit offered through its entry-level youngster brand, Scion. I’ve missed the Toyota Celica for years now, and I’m not alone, so with the 2013 Scion FR-S, Toyota again has a low-cost sports coupe that looks great and will provide much entertainment...

2012 Hyundai Equus Signature

Full-size luxury has a new name - Equus - and plenty of ponies Hyundai’s full-size Equus is a fine luxury car with one major drawback, the Hyundai name.

2012 Nissan Murano SV AWD

Luxurious crossover, quiet comfortable family mover A lot of time has passed since I last tested Nissan’s fine Murano crossover, yet it remains a solid, quiet, comfortable family mover.

Paul drives a Ferrari

It's one of those cars most guys lust over, a Ferrari. Nothing else seems to mater when one drives by. The power is beyond words. The handling is perfect.

Lexus GS 350 AWD

Let the coddling begin! Luxury cars make you feel special; they coddle you. After a week in a gorgeous “mercury metallic (dark sparkling metallic blue)” 2013 Lexus GS350 I consider myself sufficiently coddled. The redesigned full-size GS comes as both a rear-drive and all-wheel-drive model, this being the latter. All come with a strong 3.5-liter... Continue Reading →
