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!

Coming Soon to a Speed Trap Near You
Ford’s aging Crown Victoria is barely relevant to most consumers, but cabbies and police officers across the country will bemoan its demise once production ceases next fall. The Transit Connect van may satisfy the livery fleets, but to appease law enforcement officers, Ford crafted its new 2012 Police Interceptor.inline_mediumwraptextright27176507/features/news/1003_2012_ford_taurus_police_interceptor2012-ford-police-interceptor-in-action.jpgTrue

Driven: 2010 Acura TL SH-AWD 6MT Friday, 12 March 2010, 8:03 pm
A legend of sorts.
What is it with Acura giving up on great names? This car should, by all rights, be called the Legend Type-S. Except that Acura has abandoned both of those monikers. Acura TL SH-AWD 6MT? That sounds like something an inebriated math teacher would mutter before drifting into unconsciousness.inline_mediumwraptextright32320167/reviews/driven/1004_2010_acura_tl_sh_awd_6mt1004_01_z+2010_acura_tL_sH-AWD_6MT+front_three_quarter_view.jpgTrue
2010 Infiniti FX50 AWD Friday, 12 March 2010, 7:03 pm
The FX50 is definitely one of the best sounding SUVs around.
As I approached the Infiniti FX50 in the parking garage, I was relieved to see Bridgestone Blizzak snow tires mounted to the massive twenty-one-inch wheels. With six to ten inches of snow expected that night, I wanted a vehicle capable of dealing with the white stuff and the long trip home.inline_mediumwraptextright27086108/reviews/editors_notebook/1003_2010_infiniti_fx50_awd1003_05_z+2010_infiniti_fX50_aWD+passenger_side_view.jpgTrue

2010 February Auto Sales Friday, 12 March 2010, 4:03 pm
One year ago was the nadir.
One year ago was the nadir. February 2009 was the low point last winter, when auto sales all but ground to a halt. So the fact that February 2010 sales are up versus last year is good, but it’s not saying much. What’s more encouraging is that the percent gain over one year ago was pretty healthy: 13%. That’s much better than January’s 6% increase over similarly sickly 2009 totals, and close to December’s 15% gain over year-ago figures. But while December sales are always goosed by the year-end deal-a-thon, February’s boost seems more organic. Particularly since it was achieved despite an ongoing publicity nightmare for Toyota and, for much of the country, several days of bad winter weather. The only real qualifier for February is that it did reflect increased fleet sales (up from a very low level last winter) – and the fact that the February’s annualized sales rate of 10 million vehicles is still far off the 17 million of just a few years ago.inline_mediumwraptextright24626542/features/news/1003_2010_february_auto_sales0908_04_z+2010_ford_fusion_sport_aWD+front_three_quarter_view.jpgTrue

Tesla Roadster 2.0 Sport: Charging Expectations Thursday, 11 March 2010, 10:03 pm
If small cars are particularly adept at changing direction, you might assume that small car companies can react to customer demands quickly, too. In the case of Tesla Motors, that assumption is correct.
If small cars are particularly adept at changing direction, you might assume that small car companies can react to customer demands quickly, too. In the case of Tesla Motors, that assumption is correct. A host of updates to the Tesla Roadster addresses almost every concern we had after spending a week with the electric sports car – this Silicon Valley company is clearly listening to what people have to say.inline_mediumwraptextright32384862/green/reviews/1004_tesla_roadster_2_0_sport1004_03_z+tesla_roadster_2_0_sport+side_view.jpgTrue

2010 Audi A3 TDI FWD S-Tronic Premium Thursday, 11 March 2010, 5:03 pm
The Audi A3 is a unique vehicle at a reasonable price, offering a nice alternative to a hybrid or even a gas-powered premium compact.
It’s rare to have an Audi without Quattro pass through our garage. As all-wheel drive has become synonymous with the brand, it seems a front-wheel example of any Audi is an oddity. I happened to take this front-wheel-drive A3 TDI home on the night of Michigan’s biggest winter storm. With a set of Michelin winter tires on, though, I hardly noticed that I had only two wheels to power through the slippery spots. Aside from the torquey engine occasionally spinning the front wheels, the A3 was composed and stable through thick city slush and at highway speeds.inline_mediumwraptextright27080960/green/reviews/1003_2010_audi_a3_tdi_fwd_s_tronic_premium1003_01_z+2010_audi_a4_tDI_fWD_s-Tronic_premium+front_three_quarter_view.jpgTrue
