Ford Arms Police Forces with New Interceptor Utility
For those living their lives serving the badge, the durable V-8 engine and the body-on-frame construction of the Ford Crown Victoria was a reliable workhouse in their duty for upholding the law. Understandably so popular, Ford kept the Crown Victoria in production largely on the orders from law enforcement agencies. As the long-respected Ford Crown Victoria is retired from [...]

2011 Nissan JUKE Sport Cross
Nissan has been actively creating some strange interpretation in defining the modern crossover vehicle. However, with every crossover, Nissan demonstrates strangeness is not exactly a bad thing.   Started with the Nissan Murano arched look in 2003, the Japanese-based auto company followed this up in 2008 developing the equally as striking but smaller Rogue as an under $25,000 [...]

Picnic at Pebbles with Special Rolls-Royce Drophead Coupe
The August 15th edition of the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance once again provided a vivid look into the prestige of past motoring.

Another Day, Another Toyota Recalled
Toyota just issued another recall today, this time it’s for the 2005-2008 model year Corolla and its hatchback sibling, the Matrix. The problem? A faulty engine control module that was poorly manufactured. Turns out that cracks can form at certain solder points, causing the car’s check engine light to come on, shift harshly, or worse [...]

2012 Mercedes-Benz CLS Sports Edgier Look
When German auto company Mercedes-Benz released the CLS-Class in the 2006 model year, it was still a rather new phenomenon to think of a coupe as having four-doors.

Ford’s E-Series Van Quietly Celebrates 50th B-Day
It’s hard to believe back before 1960 that North Americans were still unfamiliar with the concept of a consumer-sold, enclosed truck-based vehicle which could carry large cargo loads or passengers. With exception to the limitedly available VW Bus (keeping in mind Volkswagen of America was only 5 year old and still building a national dealership [...]

2011 Dodge Durango Unveiled (Sort of)
Through the 1990s, Chrysler had a flair for new product introductions. One of those more memorable roll-out occurred in the 1991 Detroit Auto Show when they sent their Jeep Grand Cherokee (significantly their first new SUV designed under Chrysler’s guidance) through a wall of glass. Equally as important during this era of flash were the [...]

Kia’s POP Electric Minicar Concept to Debut at Paris Motor Show

The POP Concept is a 3 meter long minicar, sits three, and it’s powered by an electric motor. No surprise here, given the [...]

Win a Free Purolator Oil Filter
Not all of us put a lot of thought into the type of oil filters we put on our cars, and just leave it up to the mechanic who changes our oil. But guess what they use – the cheapest possible filter they can find. Many oil filters are made with cardboard end caps and [...]

Ford F-150 Revamped Engine Lineup Concedes to V-6 Power
When the current generation F-Series pickup was introduced for the 2009 Model year, Ford chose to withdraw their six-cylinder engine in favour of an all V-8 lineup. Realizing the buyers of full-sized pickup have traditionally preferred more heavily optioned 8-cylinder trucks, Ford rationalized the decision claiming the smallest displacement 4.6 liter engine sported fuel economy [...]
