Hitting the Road

Ford Fiesta

I have to tell you upfront, this is one of the absolutely coolest looking cars on the planet right now, and there are three great things to know about it. It is very economical, it is very inexpensive and it is made by Ford.

Chevy Malibu Eco

I've got a message for all of you out there who said, "I'd consider buying a General Motors car if they were as good as a Camry or Accord." My message is, the ball's in your court.

Ford F150 Harley-Davidson

Special edition vehicles are all the rage these days. Actually, I think it was Ford that started this whole thing, actually, with the signature edition Continentals back in the 1970’s. Remember the Cartier model, or the Gucci?

Infiniti EX35

The Infiniti EX 35 is an interesting mix. It isn't quite a car, and it isn't quite a ute. Would it be fair to call it a cute? Maybe not, but is certainly a striking crossover, looking like absolutely

Nissan Xterra PRO-4X

Back in the year 2000, Nissan hit on a real turn of the century idea. They saw a need for something a bit more rugged than the expensive, deep plush carpeted sport utes on the market.

Ford Mustang

It is one of those cars that makes history.

Nissan Frontier Pro-4X

This past week was rainy, nasty and absolutely miserable. Fortunately for me, that's just how the Nissan Frontier pickup likes it. And even a coating of road film from this rainy week, can't hide the brutal

Nissan Titan Pro-4X

This is the Nissan Titan PRO-4X pickup, and for the folks at Nissan, it was almost the Last of the Mohicans.

Ram 2500 Outdoorsman

It was 1994, and I was testing cars on the radio and for magazines back in Houston when our delivery service brought a vehicle to the station that was about to set the truck world on fire.

MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER SPORT

This little truck is, believe it or not, the best selling vehicle in Mitsubishi's North American lineup.

Suzuki Grand Vitara

The name Suzuki has meant different things to different people. In the 1960’s, they took the US by storm with tough, affordable, very fast motorcycles.

CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500 4WD LTZ CREW CAB

For years the Chevy and GMC heavy duty trucks were the 90-pound weaklings getting sand kicked in their face regularly on the sales charts. That was largely due to the puny in-house diesel engine they used.

Buick Regal Turbo 6-Speed

When GM imploded a couple of years ago, a lot of us wondered if they could recover.

Cadillac Escalade

Brand new in 2002, the Cadillac Escalade sold like hotcakes. The first generation, like the first Lexus LX, wore the thinnest disguise imaginable. It essentially was a Tahoe/Yukon with better leather and Caddy badges.

Honda Civic Si Sedan

OK, OK, they did it again. Yet another darned-near perfect car from Honda graced my driveway this past week, and it brought home yet again why they are such formidable competitors.
