Cadillac provided the chance for me to drive the redesigned luxury crossover around Milford and then test a few of the vehicle's abilities on the closed course of GM's proving grounds a few weeks ago. On the road, the SRX was exceptionally well-mannered. The vehicle's performance was smooth and insanely quiet, and the cabin was full of all of the luxury features you'd expect in a...

People know it's there; they talk about it, but no one wants to make the drive. It's a mysterious land that magically produces funky furniture IKEA, cell phones Ericsson and freakishly beautiful people Ingrid Bergman.

Now, the Swedes have invaded the small premium crossover segment with Volvo's 2010 XC60 with as much vigor as... Full article...

The banks need to be less stingy with credit. That would do as much to help the struggling automobile industry as the latest government bailout. Tight credit is strangling the industry, putting suppliers, dealers and consumers at risk. It's not so much that consumers are on strike... Full article...

My advice: Look straight ahead. Going that fast means you can see the forest, but not any of the trees, as they past in a flurry of sound and color. Now, I wasn't driving on just any Michigan road. I was testing the 2010 Lincoln MKT's new powertrain at Ford's Michigan Proving Grounds in Romeo. Part of the facility includes a super smooth, 5-mile oval track with... Full article...

Among the eight members named Friday to the Presidential Task Force on the Auto Industry and the 10 senior policy aides who will assist them in their work, two own American models.

What's the deal here? The exterior is a veritable food fight of odd angles and curious proportions, fender swells and dissonant accent lines, and all of it buttoned by a hilariously oversized, nay, desperate grille. The GLK suggests nothing less than a Dadaist collage of the company's styling portfolio pasted onto a... Full article... Article added: 2009-02-23 15:09:03 Article Views Rating: 171 |
