Quick Drive: 2012 Acura TL
We haven’t had much interest in Acura over the past few years, although I owned an Integra back in the day, but we’ve tested a few cars that compare to this so we thought we’d jump right in. Also we drove the new TSX real quick at the Main Street in Motion event and were pretty impressed with it. read_more»
Quick Drive: 2011 Volkswagen Jetta
For 2011 Volkswagen has reinvented the Jetta, for better or worse. For 2011 the Jetta is bigger, wider, longer but also cheaper. How did VW do this? Well the suspension components are cheaper and an older design than the previous generation. The quality of materials inside the car is also cheaper than that of the previous generation. It’s hard to read_more»
Quick Drive: 2011 Kia Forte 5
The Forte and Forte Koup were launched in America in 2010 as a direct competitor to the Honda Civic. We have wanted to drive one of these cars for a while now and think that the looks, especially in the Koup, are fantastic. Obviously the 5-door is to suite a special segment by hey the old Civic hatchbacks were pretty read_more»
Quick Drive: 2011 Nissan 370Z Nismo
I always did like the 350Z and when the 370Z came out and it was much more than just an engine upgrade it made me even more excited. I have been looking for an opportunity to drive one of these for a while now and finally got the chance to, not just drive a 370Z but the Nismo. read_more»
Quick Drive: 2011 Dodge Challenger SRT8 392 Hemi
So it’s got a Hemi, but it’s got a lot of weight to move around too, so it’s still not that fast right? Well no. I haven’t driven the Challenger before today, not a V6 model and not a V8. This new Challenger is stuffed with a bigger Hemi V8, the 392-cubic inch, pushing 470 horsepower and 470 ft-lbs of read_more»
Quick Drive: 2011 Subaru WRX STi
The Subaru WRX STi has been around for a while now and it helped start the rally craze in America. Much like the Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart we tested a few weeks ago, the STi is dedicated rally car for the road. The all-wheel-drive system found in this Subaru could match almost anything else out there and the 300+ horsepower pushed 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»
