2016 Lincoln MKS: A Transition to the Continental

As a brand that has been around for several decades Lincoln has been a leader in the market for many years as a premium brand that can easily compete with many of the other automakers. The MKS is the model that has acted as the flagship model for many years and is in its final year of production before we have the Continental on the market. The MKS can easily stand up to the likes of the Chrysler 300, Cadillac XTS and Hyundai Genesis and offers us a great menu of wonderful features we can admire and enjoy. (more…)

Tesla is Continuing to Go Ludicrous

With the recent unveiling of the Model 3 and the fact that this car has already received more reservations with the simple $1,000 fee than expected there is even more good news coming out of the Tesla camp. Even though the Model 3 is supposed to be the sensible choice that comes at a price more of us can afford than any other this is a car that will not just be the mild mannered one of the group, it will in fact also have the Ludicrous Performance mode that is already part of the Model S and Model X.

Taking the Race to the Street

Time and again we see the automakers of some of the highest level supercars in the world take inspiration from the track and create cars that probably shouldn’t be driven on the streets, but are legal to drive on the street. Why shouldn’t these cars be on the streets? Not because they are going to careen out of control, but because they are being held back by the rules of the road and the congestion that is created in traffic. When a car is street legal but built to be a racing machine you can bet it’s not going to lose control with the low speeds and slow curves of the road, but take one of these beauties to the track and you will see what it can do.

Can We Please Wake Up?

If you don’t think the world can see what you’re doing and read what you put on social media think again. For some reason there are several people in this world who actually admit to texting or using social media while driving and the NHTSA is onto them. So far, the NHTSA has taken to sending tweets to these people who admit to driving while distracted in this manner and the message they send is clear; stop texting, tweeting, posting or taking selfies while driving.

Camry vs. Camry; It Doesn’t Even Sound Interesting

When you consider the best-selling midsized sedan on the market today you get exactly what you expect. This is a car that can easily get from home to work and back, run errands for you, be a great car for a weekend date or a night out with the kids at a movie and is an all-around great member of the family. While the Camry may be your favorite car for your daily driving duties you don’t expect it to be powerful or fast in any way, and for the most part that is the case with this car. (more…)

The Porsche Response to Higher Performance Needs

While the Porsche 911 has been the stalwart of the brand for many years the fact is there are many sports cars that are much more powerful and dynamically designed by many of the other names in the world of supercars. Porsche has always held a special place in our hearts, but our minds tell us the power we want to enjoy is really in the Ferrari name or the Lamborghini models. Does this mean Porsche is yesterday’s news and it’s time for us to embrace the fact it no longer has a place in the automotive world? (more…)

Can’t Afford a Cadillac; Just Wait

There always seems to be something new on the horizon that is meant to intrigue us in some way. When we see the exceptional quality and style of Cadillac vehicles many of us would love to be able to drive one new, but can’t afford it as part of our monthly budget. The reality is the Cadillac name is synonymous with a higher end of luxury than most and with a lineup of luxury cars that are typically larger than the entry level models from Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz most of us have to wait for a used Cadillac or purchase a different brand.

For 2017 the Audi S3 Sedan Features More Power and a Prettier Face

When something has more than just good looks to offer you, you tend to feel it has much more value to you than it would if all you saw was looks with no substance. This is the case with relationships, with products, in business, with our homes and even with our vehicles. Just because something looks great doesn’t mean it performs great, but the newly designed Audi S3 Sedan for 2017 is certainly a car that offers you much more than just a pretty face. If you want a luxury sports sedan that gives you more power and better looks, this is the car for you. (more…)
