What Makes a Car Sexy?

The old saying “beauty is in the eye of the beholder” may be true in human relationships, and many of us have our opinions about what is an attractive quality in a car, but overall, most cars offer a distinct appeal. Trucks and large SUV are brash, bold and rugged for the most part, some may find that sexy, but not obviously so. Sedans are useful and some of the most sold vehicles, but for the most part not sexy at all. Sports cars can be very sexy, but with the overdone performance and the aerodynamics involved show off an attractive appearance that might have many of us feeling the ride will be over way too soon.

From the Camry to the Camaro

When you want to talk about car guys, most NASCAR racers are genuine car guys at heart and love to be wrench turning garage jockeys whenever they can. Such is the case for Kyle Busch who spends several weekends each year in his Toyota Camry Sprint Series Cup car trying to ward off the other forty-two competitors and find his way to the front of the pack. The toll on his Cup car makes it impossible to use as a daily driver, not to mention the fact the Camry is not made for the street. (more…)

The 2016 Mercedes-Maybach: Perfect for the Chauffeured Crowd

For those who do have a chauffeur on the payroll the choice between a Rolls-Royce or Bentley can be a tough one, but adding the Mercedes-Maybach the selection gives another option. As a namesake that is much more mainstream, you may not be instantly recognized as a high roller when pulling up in this awesome car but the Maybach S600 offers as many if not more features than the Rolls or Bentley to enjoy from the rear seat where you will be conducting business or relaxing before an important business meeting.

2016 Audi Q7 Reviewed as Boring

There's something very refreshing about reading reviews that tell it like it is. All too often we see car reviewers either giving a questionable level of love for the vehicles they review or they rip on anything and everything they can see wrong with it. Normally, it depends on the journalistic personality of the writer or publication. (more…)

The TT is Coming with a New Model in 2016

As the Audi TT enters its third generation, this fun and exciting car offers us a new model that is built to excite us and give us a version that will continue to raise the standard for other automakers to follow.

How Will a Unified Look Fare for Mitsubishi?

As you have seen, Lexus has put a signature front end on all their vehicles, which give them a unified and unmistakable look. Mitsubishi intends to follow suit with a fresh new lineup starting in 2016 that will feature new grill and fascia elements that will give the entire line a modern and more unified look.

Where is Dodge Headed?

To know the answer to this particular question it might be better if we explore where Dodge has been and then discuss where it is headed. For 100 years Dodge has been a brand of confusion about most things except the ideal they want to push hard to be the leader in whatever they are doing, but that is where the confusion comes in. Dodge has given us strong and powerful muscle cars, has had cars that were designed specifically for women, offered awesome pickup trucks, branded some of the best family haulers around and even remade some Japanese compacts in the name of offering the vehicles that America wants and is trying to have in their driveway. Unfortunately because of this muddled history, Dodge has been more of a chic brand for many years and other than the Ram Trucks (now a sep...
