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!

2010 Infinti G37 Sedan Journey Anniversary Edition Thursday, 29 July 2010, 7:07 am

2010 Infinti G37 Sedan Journey Anniversary Edition

Lovin the red leather.

So, what makes this G37 an Anniversary Edition? Well, it has a Premium package, a navigation package, a sport package, and four-wheel active steering. It also has a new exterior color that most of us would call gray but Nissan calls Graphite Shadow. Its interior is leather, colored Monaco Red. (We’ve had lots of cars with red leather interiors lately, and I have to say that they don’t really float my boat, but this one is well-executed.)

Let’s Get Dirty

Three $40k, street-legal ways to play race driver in the dirt.

Scientists can’t classify it as an element, but soil is one of the few substances on this planet we simply cannot live without. Foliage and food sources spring from it, our modern world is built atop of it, and arguably, it provides the basis for one of the most entertaining forms of motorsport ever created: rallying.

Five High-Riding, Sports Car Beating Tuner SUVs Wednesday, 28 July 2010, 8:07 am

Five High-Riding, Sports Car Beating Tuner SUVs

Aftermarket tuners have taken the vehicles to the next level.

High-performance SUVs seem to be the answer to a question no one asked. An ultrafast vehicle with a center of gravity higher than some sports cars’ rooflines and weighs as much as several sports cars combined? Sounds like a recipe for a rollover. Nonetheless, automakers have found the concept rather popular — and profitable — and we can’t deny that these vehicles can be impressive performers.

Driven: 2010 Nissan Altima Coupe 3.5 SR Wednesday, 28 July 2010, 7:07 am

Driven: 2010 Nissan Altima Coupe 3.5 SR

For G37 fans on a strict budget.

It’s easy enough to be wooed by the svelte form of the Infiniti G37 coupe, but its $36,915 entry price isn’t exactly an easy hurdle for all consumers to clear. Perhaps G37 fans on a strict budget may be intrigued by the 2010 Nissan Altima 3.5 SR Coupe. It’s hard to argue that the two-door Altima isn’t an attractive car, but does the midsize, front-wheel-drive coupe have enough substance to support its good looks?

Below are the purchase and lease prices for the Volt and its upcoming fuel-sipping challenger, the Nissan Leaf—though they are very different cars indeed. We’ve thrown in the standby yardstick, the Toyota Prius, for good measure. We’ll steer clear [...]Related posts:
