Finally, A Viable Luxury Option From Volvo. Meet The 2017 S90.

Most people in the States who are in the market for a European luxury sedan have the Teutonic Titans BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Audi on their mind.

The 2017 Jeep Quicksand Is A Grown-Up’s Hot Wheels Dream

If you’re anything like me, you grew up playing with crazy Hot Wheels.

You know the ones you built with an entire tube of Testors glue – I swear that smell … Continue reading The 2017 Jeep Quicksand Is A Grown-Up’s Hot Wheels Dream

Italdesign Winging Its Way To Geneva With New Limited Lamborghini

Most people expect a Lamborghini to be over the top these days. The more wings, angles and edges it has the more fans seem to flock to it. So it was a bit of a surprise when the Huracan came out and it was a relatively staid, reserved design. Reserved in Lamborghini design terms that is.

Then again, maybe it’s that my parents traded a Pinto wagon for that LTD. I can’t quite put my finger on it, but the love is there regardless of its origins. That’s why I was excited to … Continue reading Pricing For 2017 Volvo V90 A Sweet Surprise

Chevy’s Colorado ZR2 Is The Cheapest $40k Truck You Can Buy

The 2017 Chevy Colorado ZR2 might just be the performance bargain of the decade. That may seem a little asinine to say when talking about a midsize truck with a starting price of $40,995, but here me out. The closest competition is the Tacoma TRD Pro, which starts at $42,960 with the automatic transmission. The Colorado is far better equipped as well thanks to class … Continue reading Chevy’s Colorado ZR2 Is The Cheapest $40k Truck You Can Buy
