Despite accounting for just 4 percent of Honda’s Canadian sales in 2022, the 47-year-old Accord remains one of the brand’s most important products. Of course, it’s nowhere close to matching the popularity of its arch nemesis, the Toyota Camry , but a solid 154,000 units were sold in the U.S.

The Volkswagen Jetta used to be the darling of Canadian drivers, especially in the first generations. People loved its solid construction, safe handling, pleasant powertrain and large trunk, enough to overlook some glaring issues and a not-so-good reputation for dependability. But then things changed. The Americanization of the Jetta continued, …

Errachidia, Morocco - “Rugged” and “adventurous” have become full-blown buzzwords within the auto industry. Mainstream automakers are slapping body cladding, underbody protective plates, and meaty tires on ordinary cars to give owners a slight belief that they can tackle off-road trails on their way to soccer practice.

The Car Guide headed to Picton, Ontario last month to test drive the mildly redesigned and updated 2023 Subaru Ascent , the Japanese brand’s largest crossover. We spent time around town and on the highway, as well as some muddy trails nearby, to get a complete picture of how it …

While manufacturers continue to sell large numbers of conventional, V8-powered models, all-electric alternatives like the Ford F-150 Lightning generate plenty of attention and demand.
