Audi’s sizzling S5 Quattro
I’ve had the good fortune to test drive cars for the manufacturers for almost 15 years now, and often said that I’ve driven a lot of beautiful cars; cars that stir the imagination and get the blood going. The truth is, my acid test of a vehicle that costs let’s say, over $40,000 is, will that vehicle make it on my short list of cars that I’d spend lots of dollars for.
Suzuki’s Dynamic Duo
The 2008 Suzuki SX4 Sedan and SX4 Crossover Touring II AWD
Okay, maybe calling the Suzuki SX4 and SX4 Sport dynamic is a bit of a stretch, but I will tell you that I was very pleasantly surprised at how nice these cars were. I had them back to back and while I can’t say much about the styling, I can say a lot about how nice they really are.
2008 Nissan Frontier 4X2 Club Cab SE
Some people feel that you’re either a car person or a truck person and in the past, to a certain extent, that was true. Back in the day trucks were one dimensional work horses that were meant for hauling stuff around more so that people and cars were meant for pretty much the opposite. Now days people demand a bit more out of their work horse.
Kia has a Nifty Trio its own
It doesn’t seem like too awfully long ago that no one was taking Kia vehicles very seriously. Well that has changed quite a bit over the last few years and I just drove a trio that was pretty impressive.
The Smart Car by Mercedes - The little car than can
When Cathy and I were assigned a road trip by AZ3Sixty, a magazine we write for out of Phoenix, we were just a bit more then surprised when told what we would be driving.

The 2007 Mini Cooper “S” offers Maxi Fun
Okay, first and foremost I have to say I’m way too old to be a Mini owner but I must also say, the Mini S is one, really fun little pocket rocket. Virtually everyone knows that the latest iteration of the Mini Cooper is...
Snake Charmed or Snake bit
You may or may not know that hiding under the hood of the Dodge Viper SRT10 is one very nasty, 510 horsepower, 535 lb-ft of torque V10 engine that offers staggering acceleration and performance. This brazen roadster isn’t everyone’s cup of tea by any stretch, but if you’re looking for pure unadulterated performance, the Viper SRT10 may be the fix you’re looking for.
The all-new LS460 by Lexus
LS stands for, Luxury Supercar
I think one of the most interesting things about being a boomer, especially on the “older” side of boomerville, is seeing the tremendous change in automotive technology.
Serious action comes with VW’s
3.6L 4Motion Passat Wagon
Although I’ve never been a huge VW fan I have acknowledged that the Passat has been a very popular and solid car for the automaker. It has a great heritage and it has been slightly modified to compete more effectively in the US market...
M Stands for Marvelous for Infiniti’s M35 Sedan
It wasn’t too many months ago that I had the opportunity to drive Infiniti’s M45 luxury sport sedan, yes I said sport sedan, and like a lot of my peers, I ran out of superlatives. I hadn’t driven the M35 and quite frankly...
