It’s no doubt to satisfy legal requirements …June 5, 2015

2016 Mitsubishi Outlander: We're Driving It This Week

When the current Outlander was unveiled in 2014, nobody could deny that its ride, all-wheel drive system and engines were on par with the category standard. But what a nose!

2016 Nissan Maxima: Ignore The Hype, Enjoy The Car4.5/5

The 2016 Nissan Maxima is out to right a few wrongs. For starters, it's a crime that the brand's flagship sedan sold less than a thousand examples last year in Canada, a mere tenth of what its mid-size Altima stable-mate managed to move in the same timeframe. Then there's the …June 3, 2015

First Drive: 2015 Volvo V60 Cross Country

I’m a practical guy; always have been. I wear a carry-all ( read: fanny pack ) when I travel, a bucket hat in the sun, and jeans whenever possible. It’s for all of these reasons that, after a long weekend behind the wheel, I came to appreciate the sheer sensibility …June 2, 2015

First Drive: 2015 VW Beetle Classic

When Volkswagen launch the “new” Beetle back in 1997, it was undeniably cute. With its bubble shape and bubbly personality to match, the relaunched Bug captured the hearts of buyers the world over.

2016 Mazda MX-5: Improvements, Improvements And More Improvements!

Buddhists believe that happiness is found in the present moment, and the more time passes, the more I tend to agree. Modern society is always in a hurry, always stressed. We spend our lives chasing this and that—and forgetting to take the time and appreciate the here and now. To …June 1, 2015

The Nissan 370Z Nismo Rubs Shoulders With Exotic Cars At Drive 4 Smiles Poker Run

The first-ever Drive 4 Smiles Poker Run event, a Starlight Children’s Foundation fundraiser, was held on May 24th. We accepted their invitation for two very different reasons.

Bentley Bentayga SUV Spy Photos

The Bentley Bentayga is the British brand's first foray into the world of ultra-luxury SUVs, and although Bentley has yet to release any photos of the new model I managed to sneak a peak behind the curtain this week in Nevada. At the tail-end of the Gumball 3000 Rally which …May 31, 2015

Gumball 3000 Rally Day Six: Los Angeles to Las Vegas

The desert sun beats down on the pale sand that stretches for miles in either direction, bathing Death Valley with the kind of heat that bakes flesh off bone and paint off metal. I nudge the wheel of our yellow 1969 Camaro to the right and its wide rubber bites …May 30, 2015
