2016 Toyota Tundra 1794 Edition: The Try-hard2.5/5

For years now, manufacturers have attempted to give their pickup trucks a Southern BBQ flavour. From the Ford F-Series King Ranch to the Ram 1500 Laramie Longhorn, we were conditioned to associate cattle farming with luxury, as these models are typically the top-of-the-line versions (or close to it, anyway). Toyota …September 7, 2016

2016 Aston Martin Vanquish Volante: Expensive Thrills4.0/5

Today’s high-end performance luxury cars can’t just be pretty, insanely powerful or scandalously expensive. They must offer a unique purchase and ownership experience, one that will never make their owners question their investment, even if it’s pocket change for them. And in most cases, they have to act as a …September 6, 2016

Buick, a GM division on the upswing

When General Motors filed for bankruptcy back in 2009, it decided to save money by killing off several brands they deemed no longer profitable, or that were competing with other divisions within the company. Pontiac was laid to rest after being established back in 1926. Saturn was dumped some 20 …September 5, 2016

2016 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Hard Rock Edition: (Way) Off the Beaten Path3.0/5

Ask the owner of a Jeep Wrangler why he or she loves it so much, and you’ll likely get the same answer. “It’s a Jeep thing, you couldn’t understand.” Apparently, driving an unpractical, inefficient brick of an SUV is a thing that more and more people are discovering, because sales …September 5, 2016

Midsize Volkswagen SUV: the King With no Name

This article isn’t a usual road test. You won’t find stars and ratings at the end, nor a recommendation or a proscription. It’s because the vehicle I drove down in Chattanooga, Tennessee is still in preproduction form. Actually, Volkswagen did start production, but the SUV I tested was so camouflaged …September 2, 2016

2016 Toyota Camry: expected comfort with added style4.0/5

The Toyota Camry has long been America's best-selling car. In Canada, the story is quite different, as consumers tend to lean towards smaller cars, which has made the Honda Civic a sales champion for 18 years running. However, if you dig deeper into the sales charts, you'll realize that the …September 2, 2016

A Cadillac XT5 Vsport in the Works?

If you like your SUVs high-powered and sporty, you will be happy to learn that in the next years, we might see a more powerful version of the Cadillac XT5 crossover. During the 2017 GMC Acadia media launch, a discussion with a General Motors employee hinted me toward this new …September 1, 2016

2017 GMC Acadia: Unique, For Now4.0/5

You might not know it, but Canada is a big market for the GMC division of General Motors. While buyers in the United States generally prefer Chevrolet’s truck lineup, we are more inclined to choose the GMC brand’s more posh versions. European style, brand image; we can speculate on the …September 1, 2016

Gadgets We Can No Longer Live Without

When the automobile was in its infancy, occupants had to sit on a wooden bench and were at the mercy of the elements. Over time, certain luxuries became indispensable: Cadillac’s electric starter rapidly became the norm, just like central heating, windshields and side doors. New technologies arrived on the scene …September 1, 2016

Infiniti and Formula 1

The Renault-Nissan Alliance allowed the Infiniti brand to invite itself into the great Formula 1 circus for a few years now. Not too long ago, Infiniti stamped its logo in the engine cover of the Red Bull team and Sebastien Vettel was named “Director de Performance” at Nissan’s luxury division. September 1, 2016

2016 BMW M2: Entry-Level M5.0/5

It’s official. I’ve changed my mind about BMW. Up until very recently, I’d written off the company’s ability to build compact performance cars. For as long as I can remember, BMW had always been at the top of its class when it put its mind to creating the best—not some …September 1, 2016
