Saab Automobile AB company has had a turbulent recent history and to call the last two years confusing and uncertain would be a grave understatement. Saab was jettisoned from its corporate parent during GM’s 2009 bankruptcy reorganization and appeared fatally wounded. Would Saab rise from the ashes of this melt down? The next couple of [...]
Sometimes a car and a review are so interesting that we just have to share them with you. Our friend, Grant Davis, wrote that review and the car is the Lexus IS-F. What makes the IS-F such an interesting car is that it comes from the drawing board of one of the most conservative auto [...]
Toyota is still # 1 and sold the most around the globe in 2010. But the top 10 list was shaken up in last year with Hyundai/Kia outselling Ford and taking the fourth spot on the Top Ten List. So if you are wondering what car maker sold the most cars in 2010. Here’s the [...]
Dig this: I was driving a fully setup, beefy, all-new Toyota 4Runner (completely redesigned for 2010) on a back road near Larkspur, Colorado when it happened… I was attacked! Let’s start from the beginning. I wanted to see what this Toyota 4Runner I was testing could do. I had driven one off road before, but [...]
With the 2011 Detroit Auto Show in full swing we thought it might be fun to recall the hottest cars and the hottest women of the 2010 Detroit Auto Show. Check out the video below from last year. While the weather may be cold in the Motor city, the new cars and of course the [...]
In 2010 Honda only sold 16,142 Ridgelines…which is almost the same amount of the small pick-ups that it sold in 2009. That’s not a lot of units for a large car maker like Honda. Rumors have been swirling around recently about the imminent death of the Ridgeline, but this week Honda’s Executive Vice President John [...]
Editor’s Note: In the last few days of 2010 we’re pleased to feature some of the most interesting stories of the year. Today we continue with this Raptor video that generated tons of comments (both good and bad). It is the baddest truck in the land. The Ford F-150 SVT Raptor is about as close [...]
Editor’s Note: In the last few days of 2010 we’re pleased to feature some of the most interesting stories of the year. Today we continue with another not so mashed-up match-up between two car that begin with the word ‘out’ . The Mitsubishi Outlander and the Subaru Outback both take a very different approach to [...]
In England the BBC will air the Top Gear Christmas Special today where the boys drive to the Holy land in the Middle East. But last week the show returned with a special visit and a road trip to the East Coast of the United States with an all-star-cast of supercars that features the Mercedes-Benz [...]
Many people have lost sight of what an SUV is truly built for – towing and cargo. I don’t mean pulling a 1,500-lbs rental trailer for occasional errands; I’m talking about serious towing. Any SUV that can tow over 9,000-lbs is serious. Our tester has a friggin’ beefy 5.7-liter V8 that makes 381 hp and [...]
Obviously, it’s impossible to drive the Infiniti FX35 for infinity. But I certainly would be tempted to try. The interior materials are high quality, the seats insanely comfortable. The exterior looks very unique and distinctive, unlikely to wear out it’s welcome any time soon.
What would an auto show be without beautiful cars and the beautiful women who love them? OK, there are plenty of good looking guys who love cars as well, but the manufactures very rarely seem to feature them on the rotating new car stands. Who would have thought? Of course the 2010 LA Auto Show [...]
