December 31, 2012Richard Read

It’s December 31: time to chill the champagne, dust off our cummerbunds, and prepare a list of New Year’s resolutions that we’ll start living by tomorrow. You know, just as soon as we get some nasty habits out of our systems tonight. [...]

2013 Ford Taurus Gets A Boost In Street Cred

December 28, 2012December 28, 2012Casey Williams

It’s difficult to over-state how dramatically different the aerodynamically-tuned Taurus was upon its 1986 debut. I remember seeing the television commercials and sitting up with a gasp. It defined futuristic and still cuts a swath a quarter-century later. National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation would not have split as many sides without it — either hauling that Christmas Sequoia or flying through a snow bank. [...]

Happy Hurried Holidays: 3 Last-Minute Goodies For Gearheads

December 24, 2012December 25, 2012Richard Read

Procrastination is a wonderful thing. It helps us ignore deadlines and convinces us that our lives are super-important and way busier than they really are. It’s like a stress-reliever and an ego-boost all in one — and it’s a heck of a lot cheaper than therapy. [...]

2013 Chevrolet Cruze Eco Woos Drivers With Brains And Brawn

December 19, 2012December 19, 2012Richard Read

I’m going to come right out and say it: the 2013 Chevrolet Cruze Eco was the most fun car I’ve driven in a very long time. [...]

2013 Buick Encore Is The Authentic Crossover

December 14, 2012December 14, 2012Casey Williams

Despite what you might see at the local fashion mall or pissy bistro, there’s no law requiring anybody to spend a queen’s ransom for a luxury crossover. Between downsizing Boomers and their disaffected kids who just don’t give a damn, there’s a big trend towards unpretentious luxury. For them, there’s never been a crossover like the Buick Encore. [...]

2013 Chevrolet Equinox Offers Plenty Of Cushion & Pushin’

December 12, 2012December 12, 2012Richard Read 2

The Chevy Equinox doesn’t always get a fair shake. In the world of compact crossovers, rides like the Honda CR-V, the Ford Escape, and the Toyota RAV4 frequently upstage the Equinox — and for no good reason at all. [...]

December 5, 2012Sam Miller-Christiansen 1

Regardless of any gender stereotyping, this new Beetle Convertible is a solid, high-quality vehicle with a lot to offer someone looking for a relatively affordable, sporty-ish, small car. [...]

For obvious reasons, we talk a lot about “gay cars”. But what, exactly, is a gay car? Here are a couple of examples we’ve noticed recently: [...]

2013 Infiniti G37 Convertible Conducts Itself Well

November 30, 2012Casey Williams

The G37’s styling says that you have class, but aren’t opposed to flipping back the power hard top, summoning Studio 54 on satellite radio, and having a go at the throttle. Just be careful to keep things out of the trunk: you could crunch a laptop — or a piccolo — in a heartbeat. [...]

2013 GMC Sierra Denali Delivers Shrubbery (And More) With Style

November 28, 2012Richard Read 2

Size queens, take note: the Sierra is big. The crew cab is huge, with plenty of room for full-size passengers — or in my case, three friends that I’ve corralled into helping me at the nursery. It also comes with a big bed, which many larger trucks are missing nowadays. The Sierra can easily handle a dozen more more full-size plants — no need to buy twigs and wait (im)patiently for them to grow! [...]
