In the early 90’s, Kia began selling vehicles such as the Sephia and Sportage under its own nameplate.  Initial sales were not off the charts, but the company made headway with the two newly popular cars.  Struggling with reliability issues, Kia’s overall refinement and breakthrough design features couldn’t compete with Toyota, Nissan, and Honda.

Enter 2010.  With gradual yet persistent improvements to quality, Kia has managed year after year to improve its image while offering dependable vehicles. Many …

The first-generation Chevrolet Camaro appeared on September 26, 1966, for the 1967 model year.  Its rugged good looks, fat tires, and big engine instantly appealed to car enthusiasts.   Over the subsequent years, Camaro fans have been happy and disappointed with design and engine changes.

Enter 2010.  It could be time for the true Camaro fans to rejoice once again.  Our Rally-Yellow model arrived polished and ready to drive.  Before I could get behind the seat, I was interrupted …

With the push of a button, the car awakens – the gauges come alive and the steering wheel automatically adjusts to the driver’s setting.  There’s only one thing missing – the sound of an engine.  The car is completely silent.  It’s so silent in fact, that my colleagues and I mistakenly found ourselves pushing the start button more than once.   Of course, the car is operable, it’s just unusually quiet thanks to hybrid technology; one …

The new ads tout the car’s completely new design and advanced technological features – even claiming that this is the best Mercedes ever built.

With its rigid lines and stout features, the E-Class is a visual stunner. Gone are the roundish headlights, replaced with sportier front angles and …

When I was 17 years old my future brother-in-law arrived at our house in a new, red Jeep Wrangler.

We spent the better part of our summer driving around with the doors and top off exploring the Southern California beaches and deserts- it was one my most memorable summers. When Jeep dropped off the Rubicon test vehicle I was eager to get back behind the wheel and relive some of those memories.

For the base price of $31,465, Jeep has …

Over the years, Volvo has introduced several safe, unremarkable vehicles.  While structurally secure, they do little to excite the senses, and lack appeal to the driving enthusiast. Enter the new XC60 T-6.   With smooth flowing lines and a soft body shape, you may turn your head twice to make sure it’s actually a Volvo.  Breaking into the the mid-sized SUV market, the engineers at Volvo wanted to make sure that they had something different …

“Wow.”

That’s what I heard when I stepped out of the 2009 Mercedes SL 550 Roadster.   I had stopped at a convenient store to pick up a few items, and was drawing a few jealous stares.   As I stepped out of the hard-top convertible (Capri-Blue with Stone Napa Leather Interior) I noticed quite a few people admiring the car.  It was easy to understand the covetous bystanders; this is a beautiful vehicle.  From the moment you lay your eyes on it, …
