2010 Chevrolet Equinox Review – Shiny on the outside, GM on the inside.

November 18, 2009

Station wagons carry lots of stuff and drive like regular cars, but they have been labeled the most uncool cars in the world. People seem to avoid them like the plague.

First Impressions: 2010 Toyota 4Runner

November 16, 2009

Staying true to its origins, the new 4Runner is built on a traditional body-on-frame chassis and can get serious when straying off the beaten path. With body panels blockier than a pit bull's head, the new 4Runner looks stocky, very muscular, and more athletically capable than Bo Jackson (before his hip-replacement surgery). A completely redesigned interior and unique cargo area make the newest 4Runner smarter, more comfortable, and more versatile than ever Read More »

2010 Ford Focus Review – The compact car that can!

November 13, 2009

I was pretty luke-warm on driving the Ford Focus. But I decided to clear all my preconceptions out and just review it for what it is: an American-made compact car. Honestly, it really surprised me. Our model was the top-end car, and was packed with thoughtful features. Most impressive of all (to me): the Microsoft SYNC, and the mileage! Read More »

2010 Lincoln MKT Review – Lincoln finds the sweet spot for luxury crossovers

November 10, 2009

The 2010 Lincoln MKT is Ford's up-scale version of the Ford Flex "crossover". Crossover is taking a traditional car platform and extending it to give the space of an SUV. Many SUV's, like the Chevy Tahoe, are built on truck chassis ("body on frame") versus a car chassis ("unibody" construction where the body is structural) Read More »

2010 Lexus RX 450h Hybrid Review – A Little Technology for the Geek in All of Us

November 6, 2009

Toyota played it safe with the Lexus styling. You have to look really close to catch the differences between the new and previous generation RX hybrid. The RX 450h is less rounded and bubbly than its predecessor. It’s also a bit wider and seems to sit lower on the road, but that’s just because of its headlight placement and hood sculpting. From the front, the RX 450h looks bolder and stronger, but still elegant Read More »
