2014 GMC Sierra Is Glamorous

Casey Williams
Trucks aren’t meant to be glamorous. Sure, they’ll pull a fabulous vintage Airstream trailer, put a wooden Chris Craft boat into crystal water, or carry home that mid-century credenza, but any truck worth its fully-boxed frame can also haul a bed load of dirt, plow through snow, and charge through muddy fields. I guess we’d call that versatile. Whatever your preference, the re-designed 2014 GMC Sierra satisfies. [...]

The Subaru Forester: Subaru’s Other Trick Wagon

Casey Williams 4
Subaru’s most famous wagon is the Outback. Launched in the ‘90s with catchy ads featuring Crocodile Dundee’s Paul Hogan, the car hit during the rise of the SUV boom. It didn’t hurt that it found popularity with a dedicated bunch of lesbians in the northeast, causing Subaru to reach out to our community like no other automaker.

2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Offers Real Luxury

Casey Williams
Real luxury is never having to worry about where the road will lead.

I paid it no mind, swerved around the barricades, and hit the gas with full confidence the Jeep could handle anything in its way. [...]

2013 Volkswagen Tiguan Explains Itself

Casey Williams
How do I explain the Volkswagen Tiguan? First, that’s a made-up name that supposedly conjures an image of a snarling tiger mixed with a slithering iguana. Is it meant to be a menacing meat-eater or an aquarium pet for the reptile-obsessed? Maybe you put the tiger in the tank and an iguana in the boot? It’s all so confusing. Fortunately, it’s easier to get a fix on the machine itself. [...]

Come Fly With Me: The 2014 Chevrolet Impala LTZ Channels Sinatra

Casey Williams 1
Frank Sinatra never owned a Chevy Impala, but that hasn’t stopped Chevrolet from using his recording of Cole Porter’s “Fly Me to the Moon” in commercials. The clips feature a sexy man, dressed in a trendy suit, playing golf, and taking his wife to a drive-in movie while Sinatra croons “Let me play among the stars, let me see what spring is like on a Jupiter and Mars” in the background. All that makes sense with the new Impala. [...]
