2014 Corvette Stingray Will Leave You Breathless

December 4, 2013December 4, 2013Casey Williams

Ask any journalist what they thought of the seventh-generation (C7) 2014 Corvette during its Detroit Auto Show premiere last January: they’ll pause, take a deep breath, and slowly let it out before answering. It’s that smokin’ hot. [...]

2014 Cadillac XTS Is Sexy, Like A Rock Star

November 29, 2013November 29, 2013Casey Williams 1

Cadillacs are always Cadillacs, but they do evolve. Whatever dust-ridden image you had of Cadillac was blown afar with the 556 horsepower CTS-V. The marque’s credentials were bolstered by the latest ATS/CTS sport sedans and 2015 Escalade. And a new Vsport edition of the 2014 XTS hides a surprise. [...]

2014 Volkswagen CC Is A Steal

November 22, 2013November 22, 2013Casey Williams

I’m a big fan of the Mercedes-Benz CLS63, BMW M6 Gran Coupe, and Audi RS7 — all super-sexy, four-door German super-coupes. Packing muscles of the gods, they romp from 0-60 mph in less than 3.5 seconds and touch 190 mph with their 560 horsepower V8 engines. The only downside is, these fabulous show ponies cost around $130,000. Thankfully, there’s a way to get all the style of these Autobahn blitzers with the sticker price of a loaded Honda Accord. [...]

First Drive Comparison: 2013 VW Golf TDI Vs. 2015 VW Golf TDI

November 12, 2013November 12, 2013James Hamel 10

Volkswagen lovers with an eye on a Golf TDI hatchback are no doubt asking themselves if they should hold out until model year 2015 for the update or snap up a sixth-generation version like the 2013 model. (FWIW, there will be a shortened 2014 model year for the Golf made up of leftover stock of the current version.) To address such dilemmas, we thought we’d pit the two against one another. [...]

2014 GMC Sierra Is Glamorous

November 8, 2013November 8, 2013Casey 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. [...]

2014 Ford Fiesta Prods The Proletariat

October 31, 2013October 31, 2013Casey Williams 1

Let’s remember what Ford’s subcompacts were like before the Fiesta. Like, the piece of Festiva. Or, the car that Aspired to be a car. Both were built in South Korea by Kia before Kia was Kia. Prior to that, Ford actually sold its petite European Fiesta in the U.S. [...]

2013 Chevrolet Volt: Hold Everything!

October 23, 2013October 23, 2013Jeff Stork

The year is winding down and suddenly there’s a flurry of last-minute cars filling my driveway. One that’s always a welcome guest is the Chevy Volt — one of my favorite cars and, in my opinion, nothing less than the reinvention of the automobile. Although I covered it pretty thoroughly last year, there’ve been a couple improvements, so I was eager to take it for another spin. [...]

That’s So Gay: The 2014 Lexus IS Is Trendy & Fabulous

October 18, 2013October 18, 2013Sam Gomez 1

If you want to reach the LGBT market, Lady Gaga (or a close facsimile) is a good place to start. [...]

2013 Volkswagen Beetle TDI: The Un-Diesel

October 16, 2013October 16, 2013Jeff Stork 2

I like the Beetle, and find it much better looking and better trimmed than its “New Beetle” predecessor. And by now, it seems like I’d driven just about every variant of the Volkswagen Beetle except I hadn’t yet been behind the wheel of the TDI, so when the offer was made I eagerly accepted. [...]

2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT: Like Nothing Else

October 11, 2013October 11, 2013Casey Williams 3

Take nearly 70 years of Jeep four-wheel-drive experience, mix in a healthy dose of Mercedes engineering, stoke it with a big HEMI V8 [...]
