As far back as I can remember, I’ve always loved cars! When I was a kid, the sight of a Rolls Royce would get me panting like a dog in the hopes that one day, I would have one in my garage. I remember the first time I road in a Rolls, heaven on wheels. As I got older, my tastes definitely changed. American muscle cars captured my imagination, the Corvette, Trans Am, and Camaro even an occasional Mustang would suit me just fine. I was fortunate enough to drive a Corvette as a young man. A beautiful 1982 Collector’s Edition which I still own although not quite in the drivable condition I’d hoped for. Lexus, Saab, Lincoln, Cadillac, BMW, Audi, Volvo, Mercedes-Benz, Honda, I’ve owned them all and enjoyed the unique driving experience that each had to offer.
So why this site? My hope is that there are many like me who share the same passion for the cars they drive, or wish they could drive. Contained within this site are pages representing every manufacturer and every model they presently offer. Which is your favorite? Which one do you aspire to covet? Which one do you have personal experience with and recommend we buy? avoid? or leave abandoned on the side of the interstate? I’m interested in your opinions and I’m sure many others are too.
I hope you enjoy!

First Look: 2011 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Carbon Edition Wednesday, 10 March 2010, 5:03 am
To let you know the Corvette is alive and kicking.
A new seventh-generation (C7) Corvette is at least three years away. That means the current C6 Vette will have to soldier on for nine, possibly ten, full model years. To keep the old girl fresh, Chevy will continue coining limited-edition packages and model variations to juggle the storehouse of engines, transaxles, frames, bodystyles, and chassis components developed for the sixth generation.inline_mediumwraptextright28344964/features/news/1003_2011_chevrolet_corvette_z06_carbon_edition1003_01_z+2011_chevrolet_corvette_z06_carbon_edition+front_three_quarter_view.jpgTrue
Alfa Romeo’s Centennial Anniversary – What’s it all about, Alfa? Tuesday, 9 March 2010, 7:03 pm
Alfa Romeo plans to unveil the 4C, a compact, lightweight sports car concept this summer. Here’s the scoop.
This August, Alfa Romeo will celebrate its centennial at Pebble Beach, where it is a featured marque at the Concours d’Elegance. Rumor has it that the Italians will cap off the festivities by unveiling the 4C, a compact, lightweight sports car concept. Says one insider from parent company Fiat’s headquarters: “The 8C has been a very successful halo car. What we need next is a more affordable follow-up model that spreads the message over a wider customer base.”inline_mediumwraptextright28091446/features/news/1004_alfa_romeos_centennial_anniversary1004_02_z+alfa_romeo_4c+front_three_quarter_view.jpgTrue

2010 Ford Transit Connect XLT Wagon Tuesday, 9 March 2010, 7:03 pm
Here, finally, is an interesting package that combines great interior space with a relatively compact footprint.
I was part expecting and part hoping that the Transit Connect with rear windows and five seats would become a cult family vehicle for a small subset of the American population. Having driven the cargo version, I should have known better. The wagon variant is slightly more livable than the hauler with marginally reduced wind noise and far better visibility. But the rough ride, mediocre mechanicals, and Spartan interior mean it will only appeal to a handful of buyers outside of fleets.inline_mediumwraptextright27083642/reviews/editors_notebook/1003_2010_ford_transit_connect_xlt_wagon1003_04_z+2010_ford_transit_connect_xLT_wagon+profile.jpgTrue

2009 Volkswagen Jetta TDI – Four Seasons Wrap-Up Monday, 8 March 2010, 7:03 pm
VW’s diesel is dignified but a little dull.
When our 2009 Volkswagen Jetta TDI arrived at the office back in September 2008, the timing couldn’t have been better. Fresh off a two-year sabbatical during which it received a cleaner, more powerful, and more efficient engine, the diesel Jetta was ripe for time in the spotlight with a market that demanded practical, economical automobiles. Four-dollar-a-gallon gasoline, increasing fuel-economy standards, and a gasping economy were practically an advertising campaign for a car that returned 41 mpg on the highway and had a base price of less than $23,000.inline_mediumwraptextright26769299/green/reviews/1003_2009_volkswagen_jetta_tdi_wrapup1003_01_z+2009_volkswagen_jetta_tDI+front_three_quarter_view.jpgTrue

First Drive: 2011 Volkswagen Touareg Hybrid Monday, 8 March 2010, 3:03 pm
Volkswagen’s first hybrid.
Why a hybrid?
The Volkswagen Touareg has always been a bit of an odd man out in the world of SUVs. It arrived to the party a bit late, and since it plays in a segment of the market that’s not exactly luxury, but certainly not entry-level, it doesn’t exactly have any direct competitors. That said, we’ve always enjoyed the Touareg. Now we’ve driven our first example of the new, second-generation Touareg, this time with VW’s first hybrid powertrain.inline_mediumwraptextright2011 Volkswagen Touareg Hybrid27063530/green/reviews/1003_2011_volkswagen_touareg_hybrid_reivew1003_01_z+2011_volkswagen_touareg_hybrid+front_three_quarters_view.jpgTrue

First Drive: 2011 Ford F-Series Super Duty Monday, 8 March 2010, 5:03 am
The power of a sledgehammer, but with some high-tech evolution.
The engineers at Ford know there’s a lot at stake with the unveiling of their new 2011 Ford Super Duty. Last year Dodge came to market with a hugely revised Ram HD pickup with great success. Later this year, General Motors brings a new Chevy Silverado HD and GMC Sierra HD to the party. And in just a few months, buyers will have three new trucks to choose from, each in a violent battle for market share in one of the most highly profitable segments in the automotive universe. To call this launch critical is a huge understatement.inline_mediumwraptextright2011 Ford Super Duty28314379/reviews/driven/1003_2011_ford_f_series_super_duty1003_01_z+2011_ford_f250_super_duty_crew_cab+front_three_quarters_view.jpgTrue
