Mazda Schools the B-Segment With 2011 Mazda2
The Mazda2 is long overdue. This car should have been brought to the United States in 2007 when Mazda was selling the previous generation of this model in Australia and Asia. I know, I know, 2007 was the fin de siecle for big gas guzzlers – when dinosaurs still roamed the Earth in automotive form. [...]
Zenkai Time Attack, 2010 Suzuki SX4
Introducing the Zenkai Time Attack team and hired hotfoot Thomas Smith. Plus, a review of the 2010 Suzuki SX4 Sportback: Time, it seems, has not cast favor on this little car.
2010 Subaru Legacy GT/3.6R
Jeff Zurschmeide already reviewed the entry level version of this car for Driving Sports, and he didn’t like it very much. This is funny to me, because we’re often in agreement on cars, and when in doubt, Jeff is usually the more positive reviewer. I will admit to having a soft spot for the Legacy, [...]
Total Transformation: 2010 Kia Forte
When automakers get ready to bring out a new car, they’ll frequently get all the competing models from other brands together and bring in some more-or-less randomly selected members of the public to compare them. They don’t tell the people who’s paying for the exercise, and they don’t show the brand names on the cars [...]

Conclusion: In spite of our [...]
2009 Honda Pilot 4WD Touring
The 2009 Honda Pilot, redesigned for 2009 to add more utility and more luxury than before. We see it as moving up from competing against the Pathfinder and, instead, setting its sights on cars such as the Escalade and, indirectly, the Land Rover. But Honda hasn’t delivered a copycat pimp-daddy cruiser or a jungle wagon, [...]
2009 Suzuki SX4 Sport Sedan
Excerpt from the January 28, 2009, episode of Driving Sports TV Live. The crew takes a look at the new 2009 Suzuki SX4 Sport Sedan. Does this feature-packed little car have what it takes to best the Honda Fit?
Compared to that Honda, the new Suzuki SX4 Sport Sedan simply adds more size and features for [...]
2009 Acura TL w/Tech
You may have noticed the country is in a bit of recession. If you still have a job, you’re wondering for how long. If you already lost your job, well, sucks to be you. Either way, you’re probably not shopping for a luxury sedan. Because of that, I will assume only bankers will keep reading [...]
2009 Honda Fit Sport
The 1970 Clean Air Act was, in its time, the most stringent emission standard in the world. Under the new law, the carbon monoxide, hydrocarbon and nitrogen oxide levels in emissions of 1975- and 1976-model vehicles had to be at least 90% lower than for 1970 and 1971 models. That’s a massive leap forward in [...]
