Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG: A classic reincarnated with a devilish engine!4.5/5

The launch of a Mercedes with butterfly doors is an extremely rare event. The first was the 300 SL, nicknamed "Gullwing," unveiled at the 1954 New York Auto Show. Half a century would pass before its descendant appeared, the new SLS AMG. Denis Duquet, Editor in Chief of Car Guide, …December 30, 2010

Ford Fiesta vs. Mazda2: The little cousins go head-to-head

Comparative Tests

It is a well-known fact that the Ford Fiesta and Mazda2 share many components. However, their engines and transmissions are a little different from one another. The expression "little cousins" is more accurate on the Old Continent, where these two economy vehicle icons are equipped with more similar drivetrains than …December 30, 2010

2011 Chevy Camaro RS: Can You Have Your Cake and Eat It Too?4.5/5

I can remember it like it was yesterday; it’s flat green paint looking distinctly haggard in the gleaming sun, the creased front fender leeching the rainbow hues of iron oxide down its flanks. Inside, the interior appeared to be unchanged since its creation in 1970, the familiar four speed shifter …December 25, 2010

2011 Mitsubishi RVR: Wrong Target Market?

Lunenburg, Nova Scotia. Mea culpa: At first glance of the new Mitsubishi RVR, I thought I was looking at a Toyota Matrix. But no, it was the compact Recreational Vehicle Runner, which Mitsubishi is pitching against the Hyundai Tucson, Kia Sportage and Nissan Juke. The surprising fact here is that …December 23, 2010

2011 Hyundai Elantra: a quick look4.5/5

Hyundai has just presented the new Elantra to the Canadian press. Distinctly more modern than the vintage it is replacing, this new sedan is right in line with the latest trends. In other words, it’s bigger, more powerful and better equipped – and offered at the same price! Under the …December 23, 2010

The 2011 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD: Great for the Zombie Apocalypse... and Work?4.0/5

Lately, some of you might have caught sight of the single greatest thing to happen to television since the A-Team came off the air: AMC’s The Walking Dead. Based upon the equally awesome comic book series penned by genius Robert Kirkman, the television show takes the zombie apocalypse trope into …December 18, 2010

2011 Dodge Grand Caravan: Many more to come

For a lot of people, myself included, a car’s style and driving pleasure are much more important that its practical aspects. This is proved by the fact that, despite having two young kids, I owned a MINI Cooper for four years. That’s right, I managed to chauffeur my kids around …December 16, 2010

Audi and Green Technology: From hybrid to electric!

For years, Toyota carried the environmentally friendly torch alone with its Prius. In fact, this hybrid became the symbol of clean driving, to the point that it was trendy to be seen in one. But that was yesterday. The situation is about to change in a significant way, as Toyota …December 15, 2010

Buick's Fountain of Youth: The 2011 Buick Regal4.0/5

Buick is not a brand that’s raised heartbeats for a very, very long time. And that’s probably a good thing, since the vast majority of Buick owners are just a few beats per minute from suffering a myocardial infarction. But that, according to General Motors, is about change. And this …December 11, 2010

2011 Chevrolet Volt: An Amercian dream becomes reality4.5/5

Enough with the whispers and off-the-record remarks from engineers. We finally had the chance to drive a production-model 2011 Chevrolet Volt... well, almost. Let’s say that the version we tried is very close to what will soon be sold to American consumers. And, you guessed it, Canadians will have to …December 9, 2010

2011 Dodge Durango: What a comeback!

Introduced in 1998, the Dodge Durango quickly won hearts in a time when the classic SUV market was in its prime. People loved its style, performances, and the fact that it could seat seven passengers. Like many other vehicles in its category, the Durango was hit hard by changing times, …December 9, 2010

2011 Cadillac CTS Coupe: Dramatic or Drama Queen?3.5/5

Good looking cars are few and far between these days. With development costs nearing astronomical levels and an economy that hasn’t quite leveled off completely, each new car represents a massive gamble on the part of the manufacturer. Vehicles like Nissan’s Cube, a controversially styled but lovable box on wheels …December 4, 2010
