2011 Buick Regal, great personality and road handling4.5/5

When General Motors underwent restructuring last year, many believed that the Buick division would be sacrificed.

Indeed, people were surprised when Pontiac was laid to rest while Buick was given the …July 21, 2010

The 2011 Honda Ridgeline: Heir to the Subaru Baja's Throne1.5/5

Here in British Columbia, one of the best things a Vancouverite can do is to get themselves out of Vancouver. Be it north or east, two hours time is all it really takes to remove yourself from the condensed urban sprawl, with another two hours being sufficient to remove yourself …July 16, 2010

2011 Toyota Avalon: Refreshed and rejuvenated3.5/5

For years, the Toyota Avalon has been considered a fad car appealing only to those seeking comfort and reliability. Something of an overpriced Camry. Facing modest sales figures – fewer than 500 units a year in Canada – Toyota management decided to massage a little youth into this big sedan, …July 14, 2010

2011 Mercedes R-Class: Welcome to the doldrums3.5/5

It isn’t working. It just isn’t working, this mini-van/wagon that likes to think of itself as something else altogether, but it just can’t escape. And on top of that, it features the most numbing ride of any car in the line. The Mercedes R-Class doesn’t find many takers, at least …July 14, 2010

The 2010 Honda Fit(s Like a Glove)4.0/5

Vancouver is a terrible place to put a city.

Inviting Canadians from the frozen east and new immigrants from points west, …July 9, 2010

2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee: All-terrain back on familiar terrain

The Jeep Grand Cherokee arrived on the market in 1993, and since then it has built an enviable reputation as a tireless adventurer and champion of comfort. At that time, and it wasn’t very long ago, it was also known for its mechanical breakdowns and chronic gas guzzling... The Jeep …July 7, 2010

The 2011 Volvo S60: New blood, at last!4.0/5

It’s not easy to compete in the entry-level luxury sedan segment with vehicles like the BMW 3 Series, the Audi A4, the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, not to mention Lexus’ IS and Infiniti’s G. But that’s precisely what the Volvo S60 has set out to accomplish, and I must say that the …July 1, 2010

The 2011 Volkswagen Jetta: It’s not a Golf anymore!

The new 2011 Jetta was unveiled in New York City’s Times Square in front of an interested crowd and plenty of automobile journalists from all over the world. It was a coming out party of sorts for this model. Until now, the Jetta was derived from the Golf, but after …July 1, 2010

Perfection is a 2010 Range Rover Sport Supercharged5.0/5

When it comes to the automotive marketplace, there exists no brand with the untarnished cachet of that from Solihull, England.

2010 Kia Forte SX sedan: Very interesting!4.0/5

Officially, the Korean brand Kia has been operating in Canada for more than ten years and there have been nothing but changes since!

2011 Mazda 2: A very nice surprise4.5/5

Since this model’s world premiere launch at the 2007 Geneva International Auto Show, journalists and Mazda dealers alike were asking the manufacturer why this lovely subcompact wasn’t offered on the American and Canadian markets.
