Test Drives

I could wax on lyrically for hours—no, days—scratch that, the remainder of my life—on how good the Mazda MX-5 is. I want to say that there are no substitutes and after reading a few first drive reviews on the Fiat 124 Spider from my colleagues, I will make the statement: …

The Ford Explorer is often referred to as the original sport utility vehicle that created the segment when it was introduced back in 1991. For those who don’t know, an SUV is generally defined as a utility vehicle or truck having a body-on-frame construction. This differs from a crossover vehicle …

Some brands seem to do no harm, at least on the surface. With little or no effort, whatever companies like Apple or McDonald’s touch seems to turn to gold, but sometimes, they miss the mark. I’m thinking about the Apple Watch and the McLean Deluxe, to name two examples. Porsche …

My first contact with the 2016 Lexus LX 570 was at the 2016 Montreal International Auto Show.
