2014 Cadillac ELR: A High (Voltage) Roller

March 26, 2014March 26, 2014Jeff Stork

It’s wasn’t by some random act that Cadillac invited us to drive the new ELR coupe in Palm Springs, California- the desert playground renowned for high style and mid-century design was chosen deliberately to serve as a backdrop for the new line of Cadillacs, and the ELR in particular. [...]

2014 Toyota Tundra Growls In A Good Way

March 24, 2014March 24, 2014Ruth Manuel-Logan

You don’t have to be a Texan, hard hat wearer, or even a cow poop-scooper named Farmer John, to drive around in a pickup truck! No longer viewed as run-of-the-mill workhorses not worth a second glance, today’s current crop of trucks have been bumped up status-wise and are now luxe head-turners. The 2014 Toyota Tundra will certainly make you look, and when you get behind the wheel and hear its growl, you’ll definitely want to experience the ride. [...]

We Let the Dog Decide: The 2014 Infiniti Q60 Convertible Is The Choice For Both Driver & Canine

March 20, 2014March 20, 2014James Hamel

Roxy, Gaywheels own exclusive canine auto journalist, may be just a dog to some but she knows what she wants and more often than not that is the utmost in luxury. The 2014 Infiniti Q60 folding hardtop convertible provided her with just that and more as this is one of the few luxury convertibles that she is even allowed to ride in as it has a leather lined back seat not all that suitable for anything more than small children but perfect for a 44 pound boxer rescued from Boxer Rescue Los Angeles. [...]

March 17, 2014March 17, 2014Richard Read 3

It’s St. Patrick’s Day — a day of shamrocks, green beer, and, depending on where you live, a heaping helping of homophobia. [...]

LGBT News: Chicago Cabbies Vow To Out Aldermen, Chrysler Crusades Against Bullying

March 12, 2014March 12, 2014Richard Read 1

We’re following two LGBT-related news items today — one of them odd, the other, just awesome. Just for kicks, let’s start with the odd. [...]

2014 Toyota Tundra: Bred By Uncle Sam

March 11, 2014Casey Williams

Toyota has endured sorted success with its full-size pickups. The T100 was nice, but underwhelming. Same was true of the first-generation, not-quite-butch-enough Tundra. By gen-3, Toyota had constructed a new plant in Princeton, IN to assemble its full-girth full-size truck. It later moved to a gleaming new plant in San Antonio, TX, where the 2014 fourth-generation pickup, the first major update since 2007, is exclusively built. [...]

Revisiting The 2014 Lexus IS F-Sport: A Car for The Fast, Fastidious, And Fabulous

March 6, 2014Sam Gomez 1

A few months back, I wrote a glowing (as in gay glow stick) review of the 2014 Lexus IS, a fabulous, beautiful car with some improvements that make it worth more than just a Google shopping visit. In particular, you can now get a leather hybrid material for your seats, a “Bed, Bath and Beyond meets Mr. S. Leather,” if you will. Jamba Juice or Astroglide spill, be gone. [...]

The 2014 Dodge Avenger Is Not Throwing Shade At Its Twin

March 5, 2014Ruth Manuel-Logan 4

The Dodge Avenger has been treated like a stepchild since its re-intro in 2008 — never a rock star and always in the shadows of its brawnier and pricier sibling with the badass rep, the Charger. [...]

2014 VW Passat 1.8 Turbo Offers Thrills, Thanks To A Heart Transplant

February 27, 2014February 25, 2014James Hamel

Last year the Volkswagen Passat had one major flaw that took away from the fact that it is a roomy, well designed, high quality family sedan on every other count. Its entry level engine, a wheezy (no, we don’t mean Mrs. Jefferson) 2.5 liter 5-cylinder, did little but spur any buyer with the means to do so to opt instead for the superior 2.0 liter TDI turbodiesel motor. [...]

We Let The Dog Decide: 2014 Honda Civic EX-L Vs. 2014 Mazda3i Grand Touring

February 25, 2014February 25, 2014James Hamel 13

When the 2012 Honda Civic was first released it was raked over the coals for uncharacteristically subpar driving dynamics,interior quality and the continued use of a five-speed automatic which apparently was outlawed during the time of Moses. Fast forward to last year and Honda gave every journalist human and canine who complained a serious smack down by improving the interior quality to best in class, bettering the ride, lowering road noise and improving the steering and handling feel. Frankly, we thought Honda perfected the Civic in 2013 but this year the company made yet more changes. [...]
