2016 Toyota Corolla: Risk-free3.5/5

While the automotive press sings the praises of cars that offer driving pleasure and a sporty character, the vast majority of today’s consumers don’t seem to care too much about that when shopping for a car. Toyota understood that a long time ago and has been selling vehicles that are …November 21, 2016

2016 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350: Instant Collector Car4.5/5

Ford has managed to produce an absolute monster of a Mustang (yet again) for 2016 by way of the GT350. With each new iteration being better than the previous one, it probably came as little surprise that this version would hold that title, but the sheer madness of this car …November 14, 2016

2016 Infiniti QX60: The Pathfinder’s Luxury Sibling3.5/5

The Infiniti QX60 (née JX35) is the brand’s top-selling vehicle in Canada and has just undergone a mid-cycle refresh to keep things interesting. If you’re wondering why they’re refreshing it after rebranding it for the 2014 model year, it’s because the vehicle didn’t benefit from any changes other than its …November 9, 2016

2016 Dodge Challenger SRT 392: Fountain of Youth4.0/5

Modern-day musclecars from the big three domestic automakers might not be volume sellers, but they do garnish quite a bit of attention. People either admire them for their raw power and sexy retro looks, or loathe them for their environmentally unfriendly personality, especially when they’re stuffed with big honkin’ V8 …November 7, 2016

2016 Volvo XC90 R-Design: Volvo is Back4.5/5

Last year we saw Volvo bring to market a brand new design for the XC90 after twelve long years of the first generation being on the shelf. This new generation has received critical acclaim from journalists and has launched Volvo back to the forefront of the luxury SUV game. MontrealRacing.com …November 1, 2016

2017 Audi Q7: An Ego Trip4.0/5

The new Q7 is becoming a more common sight but even now, after having spent a whole week with Audi’s large luxury SUV, I still get the impression that the show’s over. The first generation Q7 was bold, large, in your face and unmistakingly Audi, yet the new one is …October 27, 2016

2016 Ram ProMaster City: Big Parcel in a Small Box3.5/5

Once again, FCA’s Ram Truck division thumbed through Fiat’s commercial vehicle pamphlet, looking to widen their product portfolio. After choosing the full-size Fiat Ducato cargo van and renaming it the ProMaster, they picked the Fiat Doblo as a basis for the smaller ProMaster City. Not a bad move, as the …October 25, 2016

2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT: a Wolf in Jeep’s Clothing4.5/5

If one were to play a word association game and the name Jeep came up, one would most likely reply something like “off-road” or “mud” or a similar term. That’s because the Jeep brand has always been known for its off-road capabilities, particularly with its famous Trail Rated badge which …October 21, 2016

2016 Volkswagen Tiguan: Like a Fine Wine3.5/5

The first Tiguan appeared on the Canadian market in 2008. It arrived a little late to the compact SUV party that was already in full swing, but Volkswagen took its time to develop a competent product. Eight years later, that same Tiguan is still on the market, and although it’s …October 20, 2016

2016 Mercedes-Benz S 550e: Green Executive4.0/5

The electrification of the large luxury sedan segment is gaining momentum, as Mercedes-Benz has introduced the S 550e plug-in hybrid this year, joining a growing family of S-Class models that includes hot-rod AMG variants and the ultra-luxury Mercedes-Maybach S 600. It will go head to head with the BMW 740Le, …October 19, 2016

2017 Porsche 911 Carrera: The Speed of Evolution4.5/5

Evolution takes time. Centuries, millennia are required in order for changes to occur, if they are needed. Evolution brings improvements and adaptation. It can also equate to extinction thus survival of the fittest is ensured. The environment and the climate are huge factors in bringing forth changes and in places …October 18, 2016

2016 Ram ProMaster 1500: Moving Buddy4.0/5

Ram’s ProMaster model goes head-to-head with competitors such as the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, Ford Transit and Nissan NV. These vehicles are primarily used by contractors, utility companies or pretty much anyone needing extra storage space, but not enough to warrant a cube truck. In a striking coincidence, I had to move …October 17, 2016
