The Porsche 911 Turbo: A subtle, ferocious and beautiful beast4.5/5

Although not always the most spectacular, the Porsche 911 definitely was the most memorable sports car of the first century of the automobile. The first came off the line in the autumn of 1963 and the series hasn’t stopped evolving for almost half a century. Moreover, the Turbo has always …January 20, 2011

2011 Scion xD: Further Proof 2008 Didn't Come to Canada Until 20113.0/5

It’s not a brand that’s drawn a lot of fanfare in the early days of its Canadian offensive, but one has the feeling that Toyota’s hands may be a little bit full these days. Scion, the youthful, entry-level brand that serves to bracket its parent company in a position opposite …January 13, 2011

The 2012 Nissan Juke: Jack of all Trades... Or Master of None?5.0/5

It looks like a frog… at least, as like a frog as a car possibly can. Then again, is it even a car? These are the questions that popped into my head upon first sighting Nissan’s new Juke… and I’m here to tell you that after fourteen driving-intensive days spent …January 8, 2011

The 2011 Honda Civic Sedan: An Old Favourite, or Just Old?3.5/5

Few cars are more ubiquitous than this: the Honda Civic. Still a relatively fresh face around Canadian roads, the latest Civic’s Pug-faced countenance is far less dramatic than it was when it debuted just a few years ago, and is obviously well-accepted by many Canadians as the car is, just …January 1, 2011

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

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

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

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 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

The 2010 Mazda2: Frugal Fun4.5/5

Although I’ve managed to scrape out a relatively meager living by hopping into and out of brand new vehicles, it might surprise some to learn that not a single one has convinced me to part with my own hard earned cash. Oh, some have come close, but there’s always been …November 27, 2010

2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee: A new generation with the same attractive features!3.5/5

Chrysler has been lying low for the past year, trying to make it through the financial crisis, and despite being scooped up by the Italian company Fiat. And yet, even with all the turbulence, Chrysler managed to market quite a number of vehicles.But in terms of new products, there hasn’t …November 25, 2010
