The Diabolocally Dramatic Nissan 370Z4.5/5

Upon my driver’s licence, as with most others, there is a tiny graphical representation of my glowing countenance. Of course, as with most others, this representation is horribly rendered and bears little to no resemblance to my actual face. But, nonetheless, I could almost make out tiny beads of sweat …August 19, 2009

A More Natural Evolution Isn't: The 2009 Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart4.0/5

A few years ago, I had a very interesting conversation with a Mitsubishi executive that shall remain unnamed. Eager to discuss Mitsubishi’s upcoming plans for the then-secretive Evolution X, the mystery executive divulged two very intriguing things; first, that the Evo X would be coming to Canada, and second, that …August 17, 2009

The 2010 Kia Sportage: Jack of all trades

The Kia Sportage has had to deal with a lot of different weather conditions since it appeared on the scene at the end of last November. As though someone had flipped a switch, there was snowfall after snowfall from the moment the vehicle arrived. Week after week, there was always …August 12, 2009

2010 Lincoln MKZ: An all-new look!

You probably already know that the Lincoln MKZ is derived from the Ford Fusion, but did you know that this year’s MKZ has had a major facelift? Well, it has, and I must say it’s for the better. These changes are purely aesthetic, of course, as Lincoln already upgraded the …August 8, 2009

AMG Driving Academy: Amazing

In an effort to solidify their image as responsible manufacturers, many high performance automobile car makers are now offering driving courses to new owners of their creations or to anyone who quite simply wants to have some fun in a safe way. In fact, image aside, this type of course …August 7, 2009

What's in a name? The 2009 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder4.0/5

Eclipse. Typically a word that describes a galactic event in which either the sun or the moon is completely obscured by a celestial body, it’s a fitting name for a Japanese import that’s struggled with obscurity since 1989. Introduced amid a flotilla of impressive imports like Mazda’s RX7, Toyota’s Supra, …August 2, 2009

2010 Mazda3: Zoom Zooming to Controversy3.5/5

When you manufacture one of the top three small cars in North America, it takes some serious cajones to revamp the design as completely as Mazda has. Any revision at all bears serious consequences, but to take a universally accepted design and remanufacture it entirely is downright gutsy. But that’s …July 31, 2009

2009 Mazda MX-5 Miata: Twenty years young and still looking good

February 1989: It cruises in to the Chicago Auto Show like some kind of UFO. No one was expecting it. No rumours about it had been leaked, and no auto paparazzi had released photos of it. It was a small, simple roadster, vaguely reminiscent of the first Lotus Elan from …July 31, 2009

Inner Child or Mid-Life Crisis? The New 2009 Mazda MX-54.0/5

They say that technology is advancing at an exponential rate. For every new technological discovery the human race makes pushes the boundaries even further, allowing scientists and other men and women in white coats to push the boundary even further. As such, many of the entertaining myths and mysteries of …July 25, 2009

The 2009 Audi Q5: Better than an A4?

Since its recent launch, Audi’s little SUV has done nothing but make people happy. First, there are those who can’t buy the Q7 because it’s too expensive and those who want to upgrade to something more versatile than their A4. And of course, there are all the others who don’t …July 24, 2009

Rule, Brittania! The 2009 Land Rover LR3

I love Land Rovers. In fact, I am writing this review on a laptop which has a particularly dashing picture of my own 1973 Land Rover Series III 88” station wagon as the wallpaper. I own no less than three Land Rover articles of clothing, and use a pen from …July 24, 2009

2010 Ford Fusion: A better car and a more complete line

While most manufacturers try to pass off their intermediate sedans as full-size vehicles, Ford makes a point of keeping a separate model for each category. They’ve got the Taurus, which is very big, and the Fusion, which is a little less bulky than many of its rivals. And this year, …July 16, 2009
