2013 Ford Mustang V6 Is No Sissy
Once upon a time, ordering a Ford Mustang with a V6 signified that you were a secretary, a college student, or “worse”, a “man-loving sissy”.

2013 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Is Hot Enough To Fight Off The Winter Blues
I like autumn, but the 40-degree weather that signals the coming of winter and froze my sweet ass off at a recent football game, not so much. So, I said “eff-it” and hopped a plane to L.A., where winter is a concept locals only hear about on cable news. I figured a Mercedes C63 AMG would warm the chill, so I threw it down the Pacific Coast Highway to see if it would grip the curves or become a V8-powered cigarette boat.

2013 Jaguar XF Supercharged Goes Back To School
On the way to my favorite coffee shop in the XF Supercharged, I give a wave to a gentleman in a Jaguar E-Type. He nods back, acknowledging the passing of time and technology. Both cars are clearly Jaguars. I’m just happy to have the latest one for my 20th high school reunion.

2013 Mercedes-Benz GLK350 Crosses Over Its Heritage
Mercedes-Benz is famous for its SL sports cars and S-Class sedans. The Gullwings are iconic, but so is the brick house G-Class SUV. Originally developed for the German military, it evolved into a posh mountain goat that can climb over almost anything with its three locking differentials. For similar style, but a more urban attitude, check the GLK350 crossover.

2013 Dodge Charger Flexes Its Gay Muscle
One of my favorite shows this summer was “In the Big House” on LOGO. In one scene, former mobster “Big Lou” tries to give his gay son, Luis, advice on building muscle mass. Luis points to his ripped abs and asks his dad what he’s talking about. His dad counters, “Yeah, but it’s gay muscle”. Point being, there’s powerful-beat-up-the schmuck-you’re-intimidating muscle and then there’s hey-I’m-sexy-and-pretty muscle. Both are hot, but the latter will get you in a lot less trouble. (Well, usually.)

2013 BMW M6: Superheroes (And Super Villains) Wanted
Superheroes, your car has arrived. Whether you’re escaping from evil foes or dating your favorite cat (wo)man, the BMW M6 convertible makes it happen. Some of its features are more the evil-villain type, but it’s all part of the show.

2013 Scion iQ: World’s Smallest “Four-Seater”?
Scion calls its tiny iQ “the world’s smallest four-seater”, which is like calling a tent with a zipper porch “the world’s smallest mansion”. It’s a stretch for a car that is so shrunken. The back seat is more like a padded shelf, barely large enough for an elf and his iPad. But unlike the iQ’s closest competitor, the Smart fortwo, there’s at least a backseat — and a lot more.

2013 Ford Escape: Smart And Stylish
With the 2013 model, the Ford Escape has been reborn. Gone is the “two boxes on wheels” profile of the original Escape and replaced by a sleek multi-faceted design influenced by suave silhouettes, like those of the Focus and Fiesta, with a hint of Explorer in the wrap-around taillamps. Ford claims the new model is 10% more aerodynamic. I’d say, at least.

2013 Chevrolet Spark: A Better Micro?
Americans used to look at micro cars and fantasize about flicking them off the roadways with full-size SUVs or V8-powered muscle cars. Then, gas trucked past $4 a gallon, and we began to think, “Gee, I really don’t need 5,000 pounds of steel and gas-sucking family bus to get to work.” The Smart fortwo, Fiat 500, and Scion iQ soon appeared on U.S. shores. Now, Chevrolet thinks there might be room for an even better micro.

2013 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution: Empty Bling Or The Real Thing?
Flashy rides and flashy guys: nine times out of ten, both are frontin’ for what they don’t have. But if your blinged-out boyfriend has cash to spare, then it’s not bragging, it’s just fact. The same is true with the 2013 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution.
