Scott Hargrove drives the Mazda CX-3 in the wet

Utility vehicles aren’t typically known for being overly fun to drive, but if you read my story a few weeks ago about my visit to Race Lab for some Winter driving practice, you will recall that the Mazda CX-3 is a sporty little unit. It would seem that I’m not alone in thinking this, as […]

Nissan Canada attacks Winter with a crazy Rogue on tracks

There are some strange things blowing in the winds of the auto show circuit these days. CES was considered by some to be more important to the auto industry than the Detroit show.

Off the beaten path in a Subaru Forester

I probably enjoy getting off the beaten path more than most people, but the problem is that I often have too many things on the go at any given time, so if I am driving to an event that is a few hours away, I tend to take the shortest route these days. It’s not […]

Careful where you park, falling snow might squash your ride!

Introduced in 2002 for the 2003 model year, the original Murano shook up the then-new category with its curved lines and unique look.

Volvo reveals S60 Cross Country ahead of Detroit. Is it Ri-donk-ulous?

Volvo reveals S60 Cross Country ahead of Detroit. Is it Ri-donk-ulous?

For six years back in the mid-Nineties, I worked for a Volvo retailer. During that time, I became a dyed in the wool fan of the boxy-but-good era Swedish machines and the more curvaceous models that came prior.

Driven: 2014 Land Rover LR4 – A Class Act

To kick-off this review, let’s talk a bit about Land Rover’s history. During World War II, the plucky chaps at the British Rover company rose to the challenge in an unexpected way, transforming old war time components into a surprise success.
