2012 Toyota Yaris Marks Forward Progress for Automaker

Toyota has found that 70 percent of new [...]
2012 Land Rover Ranger Rover Supercharged Still the One For Me
With the new year upon us (and nearly a month down already) I feel it is time once again to answer that question I hear all-too-often: “David, what is your favorite vehicle?” At the end of the day when it is all said and done (and money is no object), my fave still remains the [...]
2012 Nissan Xterra PRO-4X: Everything You Need. Period.
For some automakers, reinventing the wheel seems to be a common theme for certain model lines in order to remain competitive. For Nissan and its Xterra sport ute, the wheel works just fine.

North American International Auto Show: Now Open to the Public
As the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit gets into the full swing of things I am still recuperating from the whirlwind adventure known as media days.

UPDATED: Don’t Think of Ford Motor Company as Merely an Automaker
Ford no longer wants to be known as “just” an automaker. Ford Motor Company would like the world to think of them more as an innovation or technology company.

2012 Honda Civic Si: It Wasn’t Broke, but They Fixed It Anyway
It wasn’t broke, so why did Honda (try to) fix it? That is a question many have had for Honda after they released the 2012 Civic earlier this year. As with the rest of the model lineup, the sporty Si was made over for 2012, enhancing a low, sleek athletic appearance with a long windshield [...]

GMC Sierra 2500 HD Denali Blends Denim and Diamonds With Leather and Lace
As automakers have pared down corporate structure in recent years due to market demands, economy and even government oversight, consumers have had to say goodbye to nameplates and models they’d become loyal fans and admirers of. So how does a division like GMC survive when brands like Plymouth, Pontiac and Mercury are kicked to the [...]
Nissan JUKE Puts the ‘Fun’ in Funky
The segment is urban sport cross(over) and the manufacturer is Nissan and for the many of you (like me, initially) wondering what the heck this vehicle is I present the JUKE.

Good Day at the Track with 2013 Lexus GS Just Got Better
I was planning on introducing you to the all-new 2013 Lexus GS luxury sport sedan this week as I have just returned from an awesome day at the track with the new models, but Judie kind of stole my thunder last week. [Sorry! -Judie] So instead perhaps I will regale you with word of the [...]
