The Cayenne. Not the first Porsche to catch the ire of purists - there have been plenty of them to date. But the first Porsche to really, REALLY throw people for a loop. Even the 928 (a V8-powered, rear-wheel drive beast) didn't raise as many … [Read more...]
The Panamera is no cheap date. The V-6 model starts at $87,500. The Panamera GTS starts at $126,700. But optioned as I drove it, it comes in at a spittle-stopping $148,175. A-hem. The options on my review car were as follows: $3,590 Carmine … [Read more...]
Go ahead and find the tape of Sade's "Smooth Operator" in your collection and fire it up for this review. The newest version of Lexus’ venerable ES model is the best one yet. That’s what Lexus is telling us. Yes, what’s underneath is shared … [Read more...]

My last vehicle review was of this car's twin. Two mechanical children borne of the union of Subaru and Toyota, working in unison toward a singular goal. That goal was to make a bang-up sports car, and rebadge it as they each see fit. Underneath … [Read more...]
The Porsche 911. My life-long dream car. If I suddenly came into more money than I knew what to do with, I have always said the 911 is what I would buy. There are faster cars. There are more expensive cars. But there is no more iconic car. Not for … [Read more...]
Acura's baby is all grown up! Remember how cute the RDX was when it came out? All small and cuddly? Well, bid it a fond farewell, because the new one has become a big boy! The completely redone 2013 RDX has taken a lot of people by surprise. The … [Read more...]
What's the best way to review a perennial best-seller? Do you try to form an opinion or just nod your head along with the masses? For me, this was an easy one. Even though every second person in North America seems to own a Camry, I've only sat in … [Read more...]
