Week of November 12th

11/12/12

  • 2012 Subaru Legacy: Great center of gravity feel, good turn in, new boxer engine is fantastically smooth. The interior however should decide if it wants to be luxury or sporty.
  • 2010 Nissan Rouge S Krōm: Yes Krōm, I dono...Great drivetrain and steering, but it's clear you can cut the most corners in the CUV "we swear it's not a minivan" segment. But nice use of NON soft-touch plastic.
  • 2013 Mercedes-Benz ML350: Beautiful interior, miserably top heavy coupled with numb over-boosted steering. If you have no idea what a parking brake is, this may be the CUV for you.
  • 2004 Chevy Silverado: Just like a TrailBlazer with a light rear end.

11/14/12

  • 2001 Chevy Silverado 1500: It's a truck.

11/15/12

  • 2000 Pontiac Firebird V6: T-TOPS! Flip Up Head Lights! Retracting Antenna! Fuels your inner mullet! Great blast from the past!
Business in the front, Party in the back!

  • 2002 Saturn L200: Spartan but not chintzy, nicer than a Chevy but not crappy.
  • 2002 Saturn SL2: Low, Low car, feels like they were shooting to copy the Honda Civic, they sorta missed.

11/16/12


  • 2007 Cadillac CTS:  Tight and Responsive. Interior is a bit low rent compared to a German premium, but Nice!
  • 2006 Lexus IS 250: Feels like its in the CTS category, but not the 3 Series. Hard surfaces in uncomfortable places.

Week of October 8th

10/8/12

  • 2008 Toyota Prius: Uncomfortable seating position, Space ship interior, Poor rear visibility. Battery gives great balance though.
  • 1997 Ford F-150 Laredo: Good Comfortable seat, Newer generation however is better overall.
  • 2003 Chevy Trailblazer: Basic SUV Truck.
  • 2006 Saturn VUE V6: Why isn't this just a trim level of the Equinox?

10/9/12

  • 2004 Chevy Colorado Z-74 4x4: Seats are too wide, and that's coming from a Fat Guy!
  • 2004 Pontiac Gran Prix GT: Why did they kill Pontiac? It just feels better and is more enjoyable inside than a Chevy.
  • 2004 Volkswagen: Touareg V8: Smooth ride. Rides smaller than it actually is.

Off work to go to the Races!

Yes that is a racecar made to look like Mr. T's head.

Week of September 24th

9/24/12

  • 2006 Pontiac G6: Interior is more enjoyable and driver oriented than the Chevy. Why did they kill Pontiac?
  • 2008 BMW 328i: Aged very well.

9/25/12

  • 2008 Ford F-350 Turbo Diesel: Big MotherF&*^ng truck! Like the truck version of the Dash-8. Fun to make it burp black smoke!
  • 2011 Volkswagen Jetta Wagon 2.5S: Love me some Wagon. Light steering though.
  • 2005 Mercedes-Benz ML350: More minivan than "SUV". Long unpleasant brake throw. Not Impressive.

9/26/12

  • 2008 Pontiac G6 V6: I could recommend this over a bone stock 328i, but bad MPG!
  • 2007 Toyota Camry: Can you say bland?
  • 2007 Infinity G35X: Excellent fit and finish, comfortable, powerfull, great balance, Just loose the silly clock.

9/27/12

  • 2001 Chevy Impala LS V6: It has a wing on it from the factory. "Sporty" HAH!
  • 2001 BMW 740iL: Still a great engine, but does not take well to owner abuse.
  • 2004 Nissan Xtera: GREAT! Japanese light trucks ROCK!

9/28/12

  • 2003 Chevy S-10: Beautifully utilitarian, but low on power.
  • 2009 Land Rover Range Rover Sport: So big and cushy , But is it an off-road vehicle or what?
  • 2010 Mitsubishi Lancer EvoX SE: F-ing WOW!! It may be boy racer crude, but it has stunning sharp turn in. More race car than street car!
With Double Clutch Gearbox too!

Week of September 4th

9/4/12

  • 2010 Chevy Silverado: Bone Stock, True TRUCK.
  • 2009 Chrysler Town & Country Touring: This is a perfect Road Trip vehicle. DVD's Captain chairs, the works.

9/5/12

  • 2006 Cadillac SRX: Chevy in a cheap dress.
  • 200x Mazda CX-9: Mazda is #1 in price/value. Well made.
  • 2009 Volkswagen Rabbit: Perfect evolution from the Mk. IV Golf I used to own, but lots more power.
  • 2004 Ford Ranger XLT: Nice, but a bit small. Bonus for being a manual transmission!

9/6/12

  • 2008 GMC Acadia: Overwrought, wannabe Cadillac beast.

9/7/12

  • 2005 GMC Sierra 2500HD SLE: Tow MONSTER! Want!
  • 2008 Chevy Equinox: Still think they should have made a wagon instead.
  • 2001 Pontiac Sunfire: Butt Turrible seat, LeMony good chassis though!
  • 2003 Chevy Impala: A pull out light switch in 2003? To call it Vanilla would be too kind.
