2015 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque: Walk Your Own Path4.5/5

A big part of the luxury equation for a certain subset of buyers is driving something that the rest of the pack isn't. The 2015 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque - whether its found in four-door or even-more-rare two-door coupe form - is a case in point, an ultra-stylish alternative …December 31, 2014

2015 Mazda3 GT: Waiting For The Next MazdaSpeed34.0/5

Last year’s complete overhaul of the Mazda3 made it a more sophisticated, somewhat more mature model. It won numerous prestigious awards, not to mention being named “ 2015 Best Compact Car ” by The Car Guide. We like the Mazda3 primarily for its style and dynamic ride, two characteristics that …December 29, 2014

2015 Volvo V60 T5 Drive-E: No Crossover Needed4.0/5

For a dark period in the 2000s Volvo pulled out of the wagon market in North America, convinced that crossovers were the way of the future. Fortunately my favourite Swedish automaker eventually saw the light and realized that the wagon-in-everything-but-name XC70 wasn't going to cut it with the brand's built-in …December 27, 2014

2015 Porsche Boxster GTS: King Of The Topless Porsches4.5/5

Thank you, Porsche. Thank you for taking the floaties off of the Boxster's sublime platform and giving it a push towards the deep end of the sports car swimming pool. After years of hamstringing the Boxster in the power department so as to prevent the company's 911 Carrera Cabriolet halo …December 26, 2014

2015 Volkswagen Jetta TDI: Thanks Be To Diesel4.0/5

The renowned Volkswagen Jetta has been around since 1979, conquering North America where its colleague the Golf failed (since our neighbours to the south prefer sedans over hatchbacks). The Jetta is currently in its sixth generation, which arrived in Canada in 2010. For the 2015 model year, this German compact …December 24, 2014

2015 Audi S3: Hero, Revisited4.5/5

If there was one car that did more to change enthusiasts' impressions about Audi in North America, it was the B5-generation S4. At the beginning of the previous decade this four-door sedan (also available as a wagon) provided entry-level luxury shoppers with a genuinely sporty alternative to the BMW M3, …December 19, 2014

2015 Honda Pilot: It’s Hip To Be Square3.0/5

Take a ride around the lot of a Honda dealership and the first vehicles you see are the Civic, Fit and Accord. This makes perfect sense since those are the brand's most recent models. Next come the CR-V and Odyssey. At the back of the lot, however, you’ll see two …December 18, 2014

2015 Acura TLX: The Best Of Both Worlds?4.0/5

While sales of the Acura RDX and MDX SUVs were encouraging, the numbers for the TSX and TL sedans were down. In an attempt to solve this delicate problem—and to better position itself to compete with the likes of the BMW 3 Series, Mercedes-Benz C-Class, Infiniti G50 and Cadillac ATS— …December 15, 2014

2015 Volkswagen Golf GTI: End-to-End4.0/5

Compromise as a strength? The 2015 Volkswagen Golf GTI makes a compelling case for the celebration of seeking mass appeal over razor-sharp reflexes and neck-snapping power. Completely redesigned for the current model year, and sitting on the same MQB platform that underpins the also-new Golf TSI/TDI hatchbacks as well as …December 12, 2014

2015 Dodge Journey: Don’t Call It A "Minivan"3.5/5

Back in the 80s, Chrysler totally revolutionized family transportation with the Caravan. The brand may not have invented the concept, but it certainly popularized it in America. And then a funny thing happened: the generation raised in the Caravan rejected it when it came time to buy a vehicle for …December 9, 2014

2015 Acura RDX: An SUV That Thinks It's A Sports Car3.5/5

In 2006, the first RDX launched Acura into the luxury compact crossover segment. Comfortable and luxurious with a hint of sportiness, this vehicle was very successful. The RDX also happened to be equipped with one of Honda's only turbocharged engines, a 2.3-litre four-cylinder. It delivered speed and a ride reminiscent …December 8, 2014

2015 Volvo S60 Polestar: Scandinavian Fire4.5/5

The 2015 Volvo S60 Polestar is proof positive that the sleeping Swedish giant has been awakened. After close to a decade of uncertainty concerning its North American strategy - and dealing with a line-up that felt more elderly than electrifying - Volvo is making a legitimate play to cement its …December 5, 2014
