You probably don't need me to tell you that wagons are a dying breed. Chances are, you don't know all that many people who own one, unless you happen to run with a crowd rife with fans of one of the few remaining automakers that still deigns to offer Canadian …January 8, 2016

2016 BMW 340i xDrive: Closing The Gap4.0/5

Effortless performance seems to be the new mantra of luxury sedan builders regardless of what nation they hail from. There are as many ways to get from A to B in under five seconds as there are badges on the hood, but the miracle of modern technology has largely democratized …January 1, 2016

My Top 5 for 2015 – When the MX-5 Pulls Ahead of the NSX

Choosing my top five favourite road tests for 2015 is no easy task, but since I’ve been asked to come up with a shortlist, here are my picks. The McLaren 650S and the Porsche 911 Carrera and Carrera S could have made the cut, much like the Mazda CX-3, but …December 31, 2015

2016 GMC Yukon Denali: The Escalade For The Rest Of Us4.5/5

In the world of luxury yachts, the perennial race between billionaires is to see who can build the bigger boat.

2015 Honda Fit: Swiss Army Knife4.0/5

In the subcompact car segment, some models offer a more engaging driving experience at the expense of interior space, while others put the emphasis on versatility. Between the two, like the automotive equivalent of a Swiss army knife, is the Honda Fit. Obviously, this type of knife doesn’t have the …December 21, 2015

2016 Jeep Renegade Trailhawk: Platform For Success4.0/5

It's amazing how two sculptors can look at the same block of clay and see something completely different. The same can be said of automotive designers presented with a single platform to be shared across multiple brands: although the building blocks are the same, the end result gets filtered through …December 18, 2015

Exclusive: Tesla Model S P90D: A High-Speed 5- or 7-Seat Electric Rocket Ship5.0/5

Whatever the news – good or bad – Tesla is always topical, always in the spotlight in media large and small.

Tesla Model S P85D and 70D: AWD, Performance And Better Price5.0/5

After cutting its teeth with its Roadster, a pure sports car built on the exceptional chassis of the Lotus Elise, Tesla Motors got down to serious business by launching its big Model S sedan in 2012. As beautiful as it is aerodynamic, with a drag coefficient of 0.24 and a …December 15, 2015

2016 Hyundai Veloster Rally Edition: Looking The Part3.5/5

In the world of affordable hatchbacks, the Hyundai Veloster is the beret-wearing, chain-smoking beatnik who's brave enough to live life at 90-degree angles to what's currently trendy. "Look at me with my three doors," it seems to say, flaunting its asymmetry as a form of slam poetry written in steel …December 11, 2015

2016 Fiat 500X: Can I See Some ID?3.0/5

With a few notable exceptions (Terminator 2, anyone?), sequels rarely have the same impact as the original on which they are based. The same can be said in the automotive world, where platform-sharing can lead to several vehicles built on the same bones, with varying degrees of success. Fiat has …December 4, 2015

2015 Ferrari California T: The One To Dream About4.5/5

Italian automaker Ferrari made a bold move by introducing the California, a car with a more docile character and aimed at buyers seeking something racy, but that’s better suited for everyday driving than the brand’s other products. The California not only became the most affordable Ferrari, but also the only …December 3, 2015

2016 Chevrolet Equinox: The People's Mover4.0/5

Don’t mess with success. Even in the fast-moving compact SUV segment, where new competitors arise from marketing meetings on a seemingly monthly basis to be introduced as yet another family-friendly blob on stilts, it's a risky move to make too many changes to a model that has been a stronger …November 27, 2015
