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

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. While an enjoyable car in its own right, I couldn’t help but consider how far removed the new drop-top was from its 40-year old roots. Heavy, complex, and …June 14, 2010

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. This technique is decades old and, when applied properly, can be very lucrative. In the case of this Accord with an inflated back end, the transformation was …May 26, 2010

2010 Nissan cube Krom: Cute Turns Krom4.5/5

I, like so many others, have always been told not to judge a book by its cover. But when it comes to Nissan’s cube, it’s hard not to. I mean, let’s be honest... this thing is downright weird. It’s skinny, upright, and endowed with windows brought to you by Jelly …May 23, 2010

Dodge Ram 1500 2010: Laying down the law4.0/5

In the mid 1990s, Dodge introduced a Ram with spectacular lines that highlighted an enormous front grille. Almost two decades later, the Ram is no less superb...and even more impressive! Last year, Dodge completely remodelled the Ram and took advantage of its recent fall into the financial abyss to rechristen …May 19, 2010

No Apologies Needed: The Unforgiving 2010 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution4.5/5

When it comes to going fast, there’s always a few ways to do it. Obviously, European exotica is usually capable of stupendous velocity, but they often temper that ability with equally stupendous luxury and a price tag to match. Americans offer speed in abundance with an amazing ability to build …May 16, 2010

Junk in the Trunk: The 2010 Mitsubishi Lancer Sportback3.0/5

When it comes to car manufacturers, there is one thing that seems to indicate the beginning of the end: the production of a ridiculous amount of vehicles. Take, for example, Toyota. Brought to the United States with a tiny vehicle lineup spanning just one or two models, the Japanese giant …May 9, 2010

2010 Cadillac SRX: One Sexy Caddy!3.5/5

It had certainly been a long time since I’d driven a Cadillac. With everyone focusing on the recent difficulties at GM specifically and the state of the automobile industry in general, most of us failed to notice the giant steps taken by the American luxury brands, including Cadillac. While its …May 5, 2010
