Fiat 500C - something new for the American market
“The new Fiat 500 changes the rules of personal transportation and delivers a new sense of individual expression and opportunity.” — Laura SoaveFiat 500– OVERVIEW Los Angeles - Beautiful Italian styling combined with timeless functionality, efficient design and innovative technology – these are the attributes that made the original Fiat 500 (Cinquecento) a timeless icon. More than 50 years later,
Fiat 500 - New Italian arrival for 2012
The Italians are coming back to America – the 2012 Fiat 500 is hereIt can’t be much “newer” than this one – the Fiat 500 which will be a 2012 model and not available until next year. It was unveiled at the Los Angeles Auto Show last week and I was lucky enough to have a front row seat during the press conference. During the two day media frenzy, this press conference and unveiling probably
Dodge Challenger - Dodge meets challengers SRT8-away
Dodge’s road with the Challenger was never going to be an easy one. Even in the good old days, the car was over-shadowed by its arch rivals, the Ford Mustang and Chevy Camaro. As the latest generation was prepared for market, Ford launched a brand-new retroish Mustang and Camaro rolled out a future-tech concept with all the right style. In comparison, the Challenger looked cool, but stood in the
Dodge Grand Caravan Crew
Recently, I had a new Dodge Grand Caravan for a week-long test drive. Yes, I know it is a minivan, but with so many manufacturers re-introducing them, it certainly appears they are making a come-back. The Dodge Grand Caravan has always been very family-friendly. Many have considered the Dodge Caravan as a main-stay of the vehicle line-up. It has been steady and reliable for many years. However,
Chrysler 300 - Refined in 2011
How do you change the car that changed everything for Chrysler? When the 300 debuted in 2004 as a 2005 model, it couldn’t have been more different than the cab-forward designs that had been staples of Chrysler for over a decade. From the company that pushed windshields out to the front wheels and arched rooflines to extremes came a muscle sedan that looked like a modern Bentley, riding on a

Chrysler 200 - something new for 2011
It is a fun little car to test drive – an all-new Chrysler 200, but is it a good buy? That is the question. Well, maybe. The Chrysler 200 is not quite all that “new.” It is definitely a redesigned and re-named Sebring. Sebring was just not getting any attention except from car rental companies. It was acceptable to drive, but not much more than that. So the Chrysler engineers have done some major
Chevy Volt - receives its official EPA sticker – 93 mpg equivalent
The scene was the Texas Hill Country north of Austin and the driving took place around the Lake Travis area. It was the first extended media driving experience in the south central area of the US for the new Chevy electric VOLT. Shortly before the media “ride & drive”, Volt received its official EPA sticker proclaiming 93 mpg.The Chevy Volt is a four passenger electric vehicle with an extended
Chevrolet Cruze - Cruizin' for a Chevy
Chevrolet struggled to offer a competitive small car since Americans realized there was such a thing. The Corvair was a fine little ride that Ralph Nader saw otherwise. The Vega was a complete piece and so was the Citation. Cavaliers eventually became quite good and the Cobalt was also a decent car, but neither made much of a dent in Honda Civic or Toyota Corolla sales. By next year, there will
Cadillac CTS-V Coupe - eats asphalt for giggles
Cadillac once represented the unquestioned standard of the world among automakers. High fins, big V8 power, and a level of panache desired by kings made Cadillac the hottest thing in rubber loafers. Those cars caused people to stand back, wide-mouthed, as the behemoths of glitz and power glided by. For a few decades, Cadillac was railed by Mercedes, BMW, and Lexus. One drive in the 2011 CTS-V
Cadillac ULC - Urban luxury concept
Cadillac is well on its way to becoming the Standard of the World once again. The Escalade is the gold standard among luxury SUVs, the CTS-V is nearly as fast as a Corvette ZR-1, and the SRX has carved a place in the mid-size crossover segment. A new compact, the ATS, is just over the horizon as are the XTS full-size sedan and finally a flagship luxury sedan on par with the Mercedes S-Class.
Buick Regal CXL - GM's cross pond collaboration
The new Buick Regal is a good-looking vehicle. You comment, “I thought the Regal went away from the Buick lineup about 5 or 6 years ago.” You are correct, but General Motors has brought the nameplate back. Actually, this car is not new because it is sold in Europe as an Opel and in Great Britain as a Vauxhall Insignia. It is simply being brought to North America as a sporty family sedan. Why didn
Buick Regal - a growth hormone for an iconic brand on the rebound
It’s an improbable story. Stuck in the mud, Buick looked like a sure candidate to be eliminated by a struggling General Motors a couple years back. Sales in 2009 had slumped to just over 100,000 units and the average age of Buick buyers had risen to nearly 70. Those numbers should have spelled the end of the line for the venerable brand; but instead, Pontiac got the ax and Saturn was put on the
