Mon, 09 Nov 2009 20:49:22 -0500

When GM cutbacks resulted in brands like Pontiac and Saturn meeting an untimely end, a few well-loved sportsters bit the dust and broke the hearts of rear-wheel drive speedsters everywhere. The Solstice was one such car. But wait! The Solstice could come back from the grave, courtesy of a

2009 Nissan 370Z Review

Mon, 23 Mar 2009 22:00:18 -0500

The 370Z is one of those exceptions to the rule when it comes to new year models; most seem to tweak things and add a thing or two over the entire course of the model and maybe update the look slightly. Well, in the case of the Nissan 370Z,

The Ford Fusion's 2010 model, which will be on sale very shortly, has been touted as one of the highest in class for its hybrid bringing in over 40 MPG, is now starting to show other versatility in different areas which may give the already-sellable premise even more gusto.

A look inside the 2009 Chevrolet Cobalt

Tue, 24 Feb 2009 12:59:56 -0500

The Cobalt name makes some people giddy, while others it makes their stomachs turn. It may not be the "best" or the "flashiest" smaller car out there, but it still is formidable in the ever-changing auto world. It still is not up to snuff against the heavies--Civic, Corolla, Focus--but

2010 Kia Forte debuts at Chicago Auto Show

Sun, 22 Feb 2009 18:00:20 -0500

While there is some guff being given that the new Kia Forte resembles the Civic too much, the replacement for the Spectra made its debut at the 2009 Chicago Auto Show and got some decent reviews. The car will go on sale more than likely in Summer 2009 but

2010 Ford Mustang to be offered for under 21K!

Sat, 21 Feb 2009 19:52:30 -0500

Mustang lovers, you have to be stoked for this! The new Mustang to be offered as a base under 21K? Not bad at all, in my opinion. It certainly will make the sports car icon much more competitive against the Challenger and Camaro, who are priced just a smidge

2009 Dodge Grand Caravan

Tue, 17 Feb 2009 20:56:09 -0500

The Grand Caravan has been around the auto world for quite some time, and it is still appealing to the mid-range families that can take advantage of a decently sporty looking van (I know, oxymoron) as well as the amenities that normally accompany the van scene. Here's some specs:

2009 Toyota Venza Review

Mon, 16 Feb 2009 20:50:58 -0500

Some people have balked at the fact that Toyota came out with the Venza to be able to compete with the Ford Edge in the sense that Toyota already has the Highlander and would in a sense be cannibalizing itself. However, the Venza is a much more slick product,

A look at the 2011 Honda CRZ Hybrid

Mon, 09 Feb 2009 16:47:29 -0500

Well, I guess it's kind of redundant to describe the CRZ as a hybrid since Honda has decided to make the CRX only as a hybrid to rival Toyota's hybrid-only line of cars, but this was actually kind of a quandary for Honda as they really thought making a

Preview: 2010 Mercedes Benz GLK350

Mon, 09 Feb 2009 16:30:13 -0500

As Mercedes opts to try and combat the ever-increasing category of crossover SUVs, the GLK350 gives those who are still wanting a piece of the upper crust trending with the new popular genre of cars/trucks/SUVs (relatively speaking, of course) a new model to peruse. Some things that have been
