Test Drive: 2017 Chrysler Pacifica Limited

No comments
By Kevin Harrison When I first told a few people that the subject of this upcoming review has going to be a minivan, laughter immediately followed. Some relished in the fact that, for once, I wasn’t in some fancy German sedan, or hot hatch (to those who did, jealousy doesn’t suit you)....

Test Drive: 2016 Chevrolet Spark

No comments
By Kevin Harrison If you are an avid reader, you may have noticed that the press vehicles I receive aren’t typical of what people actually buy. They’re usually top trim models fitted with every option available. I usually list the base price and the price as tested for every review just...

Test Drive: 2017 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid

No comments
By Kevin Harrison It seems Lincoln really wants Atlantic Canadians to take a serious look at the MKZ Hybrid. In the six or so years that I’ve been receiving press cars, Lincoln has only sent three models for review. And guess what, all three of them were MKZ Hybrids. This is odd since...

Quick Drive: 2017 Kia Sportage SX Turbo

No comments
By Kevin Harrison “Ayeee!” If you remember this animated yelp from an old Kia commercial, then I suppose Kia’s marketing gurus of the time deserve a pat on the back. If you don’t, let me enlighten you. When Kia redesigned the Sportage in 2008, they clearly wanted to market it as a fun,...

By Kevin Harrison I need to apologize to you, dear reader, in advance.

When I choose photoshoot locations,...

Quick Drive: 2017 Mercedes-Benz C300 Coupe 4Matic

No comments
By Kevin Harrison There’s something about a two-door Mercedes-Benz that is immensely appealing to most people. Sure, there are plenty of coupes out there, and some that compete directly against Benz’s two-door offerings that don’t seem to get the same attention. But there’s something about them. Case in point, I was returning...

Test Drive: 2016 Lexus RC 350 AWD F-Sport

No comments
By Kevin Harrison I’m not one who typically enjoys a whole lot of attention. That may partially explain my taste in car designs; more restrained perhaps even conservative styling. It’s hard to explain, but designs from BMW, Audi and the like are still eye-catching without being too shouty about it. I...

Test Drive: 2016 Infiniti QX60

No comments
By Robert Nichols Infiniti came to Canada back in1989 as a purveyor of slightly fancier Nissans. Nothing wrong with that sort of repackaging but the brand lacked any really unique personality. All that changed in 2002 when the G35 came to showrooms. That car was the harbinger of good things to...

Test Drive: 2016 Chevrolet Malibu LT

No comments
By Kevin Harrison The teenage driver in your life probably considers this their most hated car. And GM is hoping you’ll buy one because of it. Teenage drivers wouldn’t necessarily be contrary to this particular car because the Malibu nameplate hasn’t been cool since the 60’s. Nor would they be put off...
