The South Korean carmaker may know compacts and sedans, but how well does it know Michigan winters? Turns out, winters, bad roads and good barbeques are just a few of the things Americans and South Koreans have in common. The big SUV tracked right through Detroit's icy roads. There was plenty of power at my disposal. The V-8, the same engine as... Full article...

It's my informal survey of the current automotive market. I've sat outside of LAX and observed all the vehicles dropping off loved ones -- not a GM, Ford or Chrysler in the bunch. Same goes in Miami and New York City. Foreign cars rule. So imagine my surprise when I pulled behind a 2009 Cadillac Escalade hybrid while driving around Los Angeles. It was big and black and intimidating from the seat of a midsize sedan. As I drove... Full article...

All I could hear was the voice of the man who dropped off the Civic for my week-long test... Full article...
