2010 Chevrolet Camaro
“…Beneath the car’s killer looks is a fully modern rear-drive chassis developed Down Under. It’s the same one used on the Aussie-built Holden Commodore, with modifications to make it longer and stiffer.

Today I drove the all-new Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 10 MR premium edition near home. Mitsu Canada had invited a handful of auto journs and photogs to check out this wicked cool driving enthusiast pleaser.

Bridgestone VW GTI
My latest assignment took me to Firebird International Raceway in Phoenix, AZ for an up close and personal introduction to some new high-performance Bridgestone Potenza tires. I tested the new G019 Grid tire on the VW GTI and the new RE760 on the BMW 1 Series. There was also an [...]

2008 Subaru Tribeca
“…Since the dawn of automotive time, vehicles have been named after all sorts of people, places and wild animals. There’s the Enzo (named after Ferrari’s late founder), for example, Malibu (a star’s hollow where you might actually see an Enzo) and Mustang (perhaps the world’s most popular animal-inspired machine). So, [...]
