All manufacturers are invited to bring some of their best and newest vehicles for automotive journalist to test drive. At the end of the day, they choose winners in different categories, including the Car of [...] read_more»
Texas Truck Rodeo – what’s your pick? w/poll
The Texas Auto Writers Association are about to invade a quite, country ranch in a secret location within Texas for their annual Texas Truck Rodeo. Here they will be testing out all the new trucks and SUV's and naming the Truck of Texas, the SUV of Texas, and more. Unfortunately we won't be making the event this year but thought it read_more»
Quick Drive: 2011 Toyota Sienna Mini-Van
The mini-van is a vital part of American culture, and although we Texans love our SUVs, we also realize that the mini-van is just as roomy, if not more, and more fuel efficient. The Sienna was the only van we took the time to hop in at the Auto Roundup, although we really wanted to drive the new Grand Caravan read_more»
Quick Drive: 2011 Cadillac CTS-V Coupe
We have already done a full review of the CTS-V Wagon and I’ve been chomping at the bit to drive the Coupe. I do like the way the Wagon looks, and not because I think it’s a sleeper - because it’s not - but it just looks good. The Coupe on the other hand just looks that much better. I read_more»
Quick Drive: 2011 Dodge Avenger
We’ve had our fair share of run-ins with the Dodge Avenger, even using one in our videos as a chase car, and although it’s a step forward from the Stratus, it was never really a good car. The biggest problem is that it has the potential to be. Dodge has had that more aggressive style and feel about their cars, read_more»
Quick Drive: 2011 Corvette Z06 Carbon Edition
We’ve driven a few Corvettes in our time including some random C5s, the C6 Grand Sport, and a Lingenfelter C6, but when the opportunity arises to drive another, we still jump at the chance. The Z06 is already one of GM’s fastest and most expensive Corvette models to ever hit the sales floor. With its massive 7 liter V8 dubbed read_more»
Quick Drive: 2011 Dodge Charger R/T
I’ll have to admit, I’m not a big fan of the previous generation Charger. Mostly because I most often encounter the base V6 models, but even the R/T and SRT Chargers just never really did it for me. They are too big and heavy, and yes they have the power, but if I’m looking for a quick sedan, give me read_more»
Quick Drive: 2011 Mercedes-Benz CL 63 AMG
What can I say, besides amazing, when talking about the CL 63 AMG. This car is everything you want out of a car including looks, power, technology, exclusivity, and safety. By far, this is one of the most impressive cars we’ve tested in all these categories and it’s hard to say we’ll find something as good. read_more»
Quick Drive: 2012 Volvo S60
One of the great things about being involved in the Texas Auto Roundup is getting the opportunity to really test some cars we wouldn’t normally test. Case in point, the Volvo S60. We haven’t featured a Volvo on txGarage before, but it’s not because there are no Volvos we like. So when given the chance, we jumped right into this read_more»
Quick Drive: 2011 Chrysler 300C
The Chrysler 300 has needed an update in a bad way. When it first came out, it was a great looking car that stood out from the crowd. Now though, it’s become more common and the more you see it, the more you pick it apart. Chrysler knew they had to get this one right as it’s really their flagship read_more»
