Honest car reviews both big and small
A small pickup before they were cool ... I wasn't sure if it was on my dime or Jeep's when I received an email almost five years ago this past week inviting me to a media event in California introducing the new Jeep Gladiator (JT). I was just giddy to find out they were paying... Continue Reading →
A car that fit right in with the movement ... Chances are if you're reading this, like me you remember the late 1960s. It was a time when much of my generation was protesting and trying to find its own way. Not me of course, I was more interested in cars. Car marketers knew that... Continue Reading →
20th Anniversary Special Before the Indianapolis Motor Speedway made the Corvette its official Indy Pace Car in 2004 there were a variety of brands that provided vehicles for the race. Pacing the 73rd Indianapolis 500 on May 28, 1989, was the 1989 Pontiac Trans Am, the subject of this week's spot. I found this example... Continue Reading →
Sure, we all know Jeep is the king of SUVs and off-roading, but back in the 1960s and '70s there was this toughy, the International Scout II.
From the same company that built the first Jeep My first thought when "small cars" are mentioned is the 70s with the Japanese imports and domestics like the Pinto, Vega, and Gremlin. But way back in the 30s this country was introduced to a small car, the American Bantam similar to the one in this... Continue Reading →
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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →
