2014 Land Rover LR4 Scoffs At Snow

January 16, 2014January 16, 2014Casey Williams

A winter storm is predicted. Oh, the hysteria. How many inches? Eight? And ice too? Then comes the mass assault on biscuits and gravy, schools close days in advance, and everybody scurries home from work. And, me, when this occurred recently? I laughed, turned on my heel, and casually returned to my office. I had a Land Rover LR4 in the parking lot. [...]

The 2014 Cadillac SRX Brings Its A-Game To Lexus, Mercedes, And BMW

January 14, 2014September 1, 2015James Hamel 2

First, let’s just admit that while we drive a lot of SUVs and crossovers (honestly, we can’t think of one we haven’t tested), rarely if ever do we find ourselves inspired by one of these vehicles to the point that we made up far off destinations just so we could spend more time driving it. But we recently had a 2014 Cadillac SRX delivered with more sharp lines to its style statement that a fall line at Dolce & Gabbana. [...]

2014 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1: Chevy Pumps It Up

January 13, 2014January 13, 2014Jeff Stork

Chevy must have poured a whole lot of Muscle Milk into their pony car, because the ZL1 is like no Camaro you’ve ever seen, and muscle doesn’t even begin to describe this supercharged monster. [...]

The 2014 Chevrolet Sonic Is Petite But Packs A Punch

January 10, 2014January 10, 2014Ruth Manuel-Logan 1

The 2014 Chevy Sonic is an American-made subcompact, but don’t let its size or birthplace fool you. Even though the Sonic is made in the US of A, beneath its sheetmetal hood lies the heart of a wannabe Euro tooler. [...]

2014 Ford Fusion Energi: The Fusion Gets Plugged

January 8, 2014January 8, 2014Casey Williams

Ford’s Euro-designed Fusion sedan is a pretty handsome ride, and it’s loaded with all of the latest technology. However, it’s what you don’t see on first glance that will spark attention. Check out the little round door on the front fender. Strange place for gas, right? It’s not a Porsche or old VW Beetle, so yep, this Fusion has been plugged. [...]

What’s New For Chrysler In 2014? Baby Diesels & 8.4 Inches To Play With

January 7, 2014January 7, 2014Sam Gomez 1

Things weren’t looking too good a few years back, as the entire American automobile industry was falling off a cliff. In the midst of all that, Chrysler hired Bob Nardelli, the infamous CEO of Home Depot who had a propensity to squeeze profit out of a company, even if it meant wrecking it because it was wreckable, to quote Gordon Gekko (Michael Douglas) in the movie Wall Street. Chrysler got wise and gave Bob the boot, bringing on Sergio Marchionne, who previously turned Fiat from laughable to lauded. With Chrysler, Sergio has now brought the company from bankruptcy to beatification, in a very profitable way. [...]

The 2014 Fiat 500 Abarth Convertible Mixes Hot-Hatch Thrills With Open-Air Fun

January 2, 2014December 30, 2013James Hamel 1

There is something inherently magical about the 2014 Fiat 500 Abarth convertible (500C in Fiat speak) and pinpointing the origin of that specialness is not all that hard to do. All a driver has to do is press the button to make the cloth roof slide backwards opening up the cabin to the blue skies and sunshine overhead followed by pressing a red button on the dash marked “Sport.” Then, when he or she turns the key they will be treated to one of the most sonorously delightful and wickedly loud engine note this side of a Ferrari. Without having driven a mile, you will know that this is one badass car. [...]

Is The 2014 Kia Soul Really Worthy Of All The Applause, Applause, Applause?

Ed. note: Kia is not an LGBT-friendly automaker. For a list of those that are, take a look at our long, long list [...]

We’ve Arrived: Like Uncle Sam, Chevy Tells Gays “I Want You”

December 27, 2013December 27, 2013Sam Gomez 1

Last summer, I was shocked beyond shocked when our beloved editor, Richard Read, asked me if I wanted to attend a BLTG (sandwich?) event hosted by Chevrolet in Seattle and Vancouver. I’ve never been a girl who could say ‘no’ to a man, so of course I cleared my busy calendar (brunch, shopping, tea dances, standing in line for Lady Gaga tickets) to attend. [...]
