GLS Model

If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!The company is getting a lot of attention lately for the way it has demonstrated it can build vehicles that compete well in virtually any segment, from econoboxes to full-on luxury sedans (not to mention the as-yet-unrecognized ‘weird three-doored car’ [...]

Counterpoint

No doubt the E55 has power to spare, so I’d like to return a few of the 469 ponies in exchange for things theĀ  E55 lacks. For more progressive brakes, AMG can have back 20 horses and the four hair trigger clamps the car has now. Sharper and less weighty steering? I’ll swap 10 ponies, [...]

The Mercedes 5-Speed Automatic

Supercharger with an air-to-water intercooler blowing 13.1 psi of boost. A smaller-diameter, larger-length exhaust system fitted to the E55 explains the loss of 24 horsepower compared with the SL55 AMG powered by ostensibly the identical engine. Superchargers at low boost can be a power parasite, so AMG added an electromagnetic clutch to the blower’s belt-drive [...]

More on Audi S4

As noted, the S4 doesn’t advertise its high-testosterone character. The only exterior clues are the chrome side mirrors and the six-spoke, 18-inch Audi Avus – style wheels. Inside, the dash sports carbon fiber trim and gray-faced S gauges, and there are deeply bolstered Recaro front bucket seats. Like all recent Audi interiors, it’s a seductive [...]

Preview: Audi S4

V-8 power makes a compelling car all but irresistible. But does it make it quicker? The basic concept here is far from new: big V-8 stuffed into a smallish car to lend more urgency to forward progress. Detroit applied the formula a lot during the heyday of the big-inch in the ’60s and early ’70s. [...]

2011 Chevrolet Cruze LT Turbo

Everywhere you look in the Cruze there is another place to store items. On top of the dash is a small cubby with a latching lid, a little pocket below the climate controls, a pocket on the side of the centre console, a cubby below the armrest, and an assortment of moulded door pockets as [...]

Chevy Cruze

Chevrolet needed a hit. Once the world’s largest automaker, General Motors had been struggling and seemed to be on a downward spiral with no end in sight. Because GM couldn’t rely on American buyers alone to bring about a change in its fortunes, it went global. Thus, the Cruze came into existence. Built as a [...]

Tips in Buying a Pick-Up

Buying a pickup often isn’t a matter of going to the nearest dealership and picking one in your favorite color. There’s a lot more to consider, whether it’s engine type, cab size, bed length, drivetrain, option packages, and more. There’s one vehicle that bucks this trend, though – the Honda Ridgeline. Every model in its [...]

No Suffering for The 2011 Toyota Sienna

Visibility all around is never a problem, though, thanks to large glass areas and the usual cabin mirror at the front of the ceiling-mounted sun glass case, there is no need to suffer even the minutest claustrophobia in the Sienna. Power for our Sienna SE (which features unique grille, smoked lamp bezels front and rear, [...]
