Lincoln Needs To Up Its Cool Factor

When I tested the new Lincoln MKX, I was thrilled to see that it’s now different enough from the Ford Edge that we might all collectively forget that the MKX actually started out as an Edge! And yet, despite all its new features, the MKX didn’t blow me away. It’s …September 28, 2015

EXCLUSIVE! We have tried out the Infiniti Q30!

The Car Guide was invited to try out the new Infiniti Q30 before anyone else! (OK, we really just got the first chance to sit in it at the Frankfurt Motor Show, but that’s better than nothing.) First of all, from an esthetic standpoint, the Q30 is actually quite attractive. September 23, 2015

Lexus And Mark Levinson

I like listening to music really loud, but that doesn’t make me an audiophile. I listen to the same things almost all the time: '60s, '70s and '80s rock, and sometimes a bit of pop. (The older I get, the more I find myself listening to talk radio too.) But …September 17, 2015

Platinum Or Titanium: Choose Your Metal

Is there a showdown brewing at the top of Ford's trim structure? Until now, those who have been seeking the most features and nicest creature comforts from a Ford SUV, crossover, or sedan have been directed to the Titanium trim level, which is available on models like the subcompact Fiesta, …September 16, 2015

The Glory Days Of Muscle Cars Are Here Right Now

Back in 1987, when I was an instructor at the Jim Russel Driving School at the Mont-Tremblant Track, our pace car was a Mustang GT equipped with a 5.0-litre V8 that pumped out 225 horsepower. At the time, that was a lot of power and I loved blasting down the …September 9, 2015

2016 Toyota Tacoma: A True Off-Roader

With the launch of the 2016 Tacoma, Toyota Canada had the firm intention of convincing us of the newly styled compact pickup’s all-terrain capabilities. Not only did they update the exterior, reinforce the chassis, redesign the interior and improve the soundproofing in the cabin, they also enhanced the vehicle’s off-road …August 25, 2015

The Subaru Forester: Built For Affluent Boomers?

When you look at the Subaru Forester, you see a compact crossover that’s resolutely utilitarian. And that’s exactly what we liked about it when we recently test drove it. But when you look at the vehicle’s sales figures, you notice a very interesting trend. Even though the Forester is aimed …August 20, 2015

Cadillac Performance Data Recorder

Cadillac has raised the performance level of its V-series cars for 2016, first by introducing the smaller, more nimble ATS-V, and then by redesigning the 2016 Cadillac CTS-V , which is the fastest, most powerful car ever built by the American luxury car maker. To emphasize this newfound performance, both …August 5, 2015

MINI John Cooper Works: A Big Name Representing Decades Of Motorsports

Ask anyone “Who is John Cooper?” and they’re sure to answer, “He’s the guy who makes the MINI John Cooper Works!” Wrong answer. Or mostly wrong John Cooper was born on July 17, 1923. His father, Charles, owned a race car maintenance and repair shop. When John was 15, he …August 5, 2015

2017 Audi R8: Turbo Engine To Replace The 4.2L V8

Recently launched and tested at Portugal’s Autodromo Internacional do Algarve, the new second-generation R8 comes exclusively with a 5.2-litre V10, since Audi retired the 4.2-litre V8 available in the previous model. However, it’s almost certain that the R8 will also be available with a turbo engine. At least, that’s if …July 31, 2015
