2018 Nissan Armada: Big is the Word of the Day4.0/5

2018 MINI Cooper S E Countryman ALL4: Electrified, not Electrifying3.0/5

As most automotive manufacturers are aiming for the same goal of producing emissions-free and self-driving vehicles, the MINI brand must figure out a way to keep pushing its distinct and fun-to-drive character. A fully electric MINI will be officially unveiled in the coming year, but for now, we get a …February 2, 2018

2017 Genesis G90: The Silent Type4.0/5

Usually, establishing a luxury brand takes time and involves a lot of hard work and money. Ask Acura, Lexus and Infiniti, the three Japanese brands that come to life in the 80s and haven’t yet matched the aura and prestige of Mercedes-Benz and BMW. To sell luxury vehicles, a showroom …January 29, 2018

2018 Nissan Pathfinder: Slight Tweaks for this Year4.0/5

Way back when the Nissan Pathfinder hit the market in 1986, it was decidedly a different beast. Sporting a body-on-frame design meant it was a true sport utility vehicle which was constructed more like a truck versus a car. Over the years, it has evolved into a unibody construction, so …January 26, 2018

2017 Volvo V90: Do We Really Want an SUV?4.0/5

If we think buying anything other than a sport utility vehicle is un-cool, we should think again. The Volvo V90 wagon looks so good, so sexy, that neighbours will admire us for being fashionably different. And admire our car, too. At least, that’s our opinion. But we’re automotive journalists, who …January 24, 2018

2018 Subaru Crosstrek: For High-Protein Diets4.0/5

When I scheduled the 2018 Subaru Crosstrek for testing, Subaru Canada offered the choice between two vehicles, the one with the manual transmission, or the one with the continuously variable automatic transmission. Obviously, the market being what it is means nobody’s driving manuals these days. But the Crosstrek is aimed …January 23, 2018

2018 Ford F-150: Minor Tweaks to the Industry Leader4.5/5

Ford’s crown jewel undergoes a slight refresh for 2018 and continues its success as the best-selling vehicle in Canada. It sure looks like that gamble to move toward a new aluminum-based construction for this generation has paid off. With significant weight savings in the bank, Ford was able to offer …January 15, 2018

2017 Nissan Micra: Smiley Face3.5/5

Small-car sales have been in a downward spiral for quite a few years now. In Canada, consumers are trading in their compact cars for small SUVs, while subcompact car drivers and moving up to compacts. The minicar segment is also hurting, which includes the Nissan Micra, the Chevrolet Spark , …January 12, 2018

2018 Cadillac XT5: Soul Searcher3.0/5

The 2018 Cadillac XT5 remains essentially unchanged for 2018 after having been introduced as a replacement for the dated SRX last year. The XT5 sports Cadillac’s new design language, featuring the fang-like front headlights and daytime running lights which bring the compact crossover into relevance and able to compete against …January 10, 2018

2017 Land Rover Discovery: the Heavyweight3.5/5

After being shaped like a box for almost 30 years, the Discovery boasts an all-new look. Well, not altogether new, since it shares design cues with other products of the English manufacturer, such as the smaller Land Rover Discovery Sport as well as the Range Rover Sport. It’s much more …January 8, 2018

2018 Toyota Camry XSE V6: Viagra Overdose4.0/5

In the past, reviewing the Toyota Camry was rather easy. Journalists would say it was a solid and unkillable automobile; an unquestionably well-rounded, sensible sedan. Then they’d spread the word “boring” all over their article and call it a day. Truth is, for the longest time, Toyota’s midsize sedan was …January 5, 2018

2017 Lincoln Continental: That’s More Like It4.0/5

Few car brands have struggled to find an identity like Lincoln has in the past ten years. With models such as the Town Car, the Mark VII and Mark VIII as well as the Continental, Lincoln’s clientele through the ’90s was present and accounted for, but was aging, and the …December 28, 2017
