2010 Mazda MX-5: Still a modern-day classic4.5/5

Since its spectacular debut in 1989, this Mazda has been very popular.

2010 Infiniti G37 Coupe: More comfort than sport4.0/5

The G37 Coupe is without any doubt one of the most elegant models of the Infiniti line. It’s true that the hardtop convertible version is almost the same, but I find that the regular coupe model has somewhat purer lines. Moreover, what’s the point of offering a hardtop convertible that’s …June 16, 2010

2010 Rolls-Royce Ghost: A dazzling follow-up that devours the road4.0/5

Sir Winston Churchill would undoubtedly roll over in his grave to learn that Rolls-Royce and Bentley, the noblest of British luxury car brands, now belong to German manufacturers.

The Nissan Z-Car Celebrates Mid-Life: the 40th Anniversary 370Z4.0/5

Last week, I had the good fortune of conducting my business about town in one incredibly bright, incredibly blue, Nissan 370Z convertible.

The 2011 Suzuki Kizashi: The first real mid-size Suzuki4.0/5

Last fall, Suzuki launched its first mid-size sedan, the oddly named Kizashi. Those in the know will tell you that Suzuki already had a funny-named product in the Verona (2004-2006), which was a Chevrolet Epica, which in turn was actually a lowly Daewoo. Basically, the Verona faded into anonymity. As …June 9, 2010

The 2010 Porsche Cayman S: Life is good!5.0/5

A wise man once said: cars don’t cause accidents, people do. Another wise man said: cars are rarely exceptional, it’s the people behind them who are. People, however, can sometimes make exceptional cars, and that’s no accident – at least that’s what the author of this text says; he is …June 8, 2010

The 2010 BMW X5d: More than 10,000 km later...

During a prolonged test drive covering more than 12,000 km, our BMW X5d consumed an average of 10.6 L/100 km – a veritable feat when you consider that this sport-utility vehicle weighs more than two and a half tons! In fact, that’s 30% less fuel than an X5 that runs …June 2, 2010

2010 Nissan 370Z Roadster: An Automotive Anachronism3.0/5

When Nissan wanted to build a sports coupe in the late ‘60s, they spared no expense. Recognizing that a graceful, swooping body would be absolutely necessary in order to gain a foothold in the narcissistic North American and European markets blessed with pretty cars since the roaring ‘30s, Datsun began …May 29, 2010

2010 Honda Accord Crosstour: An interesting mutation4.0/5

In an understandable desire to sell as many vehicles as possible while controlling costs, Honda has decided to offer a Honda Accord hatchback.

Audi TT 2011: Still beautiful, better performance

The Audi TT is not only one of the most elegant sports cars on the market, it’s also the most popular in the world in the category. In fact, Audi says that sales of the TT surpass that of all its competitors – but that doesn’t mean that they’re going …May 26, 2010
