I am a zombie fan like many of you and I foresee many level headed citizens going for a Ram Power Wagon when the zombie apocalypse comes. Why? Simply put: out of the box – it’s the most capable truck out there. Don’t get me wrong, the Ford F150 Raptor, Toyota Tacoma and Nissan Titan are [...]
The Brute Double Cab is, quite possibly, the most badass pickup truck built. I know, you’re about to yell something about the Ford F150 Raptor and Ram Power Wagon – right? Well, not only does the Brute Double Cab come standard with the acceptable power of a Pentastar V6, it has provisions for a 5.7 V8 [...]
Before you yell, “get a minivan!” I have to explain the basis of this list. Not only must the chosen vehicle be comfortable for backseat-Gymkhana, it must solicit emotions that make juices flow.

Imagine having a satin paint finish that still sparkles when the light hits it a certain way. Imagine no longer, Cadillac’s CTS models will have that option if you order the Silver Frost Edition. This will be a limited run color/package that includes color options for the wheels, brake calipers and interior upgrades.
The Dodge Journey has rumbled in, out and through obscurity since its 2008 introduction. What was a simple translation of the good old station-wagon has become a fairly tight package. It’s a good family car that’s utilitarian, affordable and may get a bit of an upgrade in the near future. Chrysler Group LLC and SRT [...]

Minivans, SUVs and crossovers are the most common family vehicles as they have tons of seating and cargo space. The question is: what if you [...]
The Flaming Lips and Hyundai together? The Flaming Lips and Hyundai together in a family-friendly, down-to-earth, 2013 Santa Fe commercial? Yep, it’s official – the snow falls on the River Styx.
