Test Drive: 2016 Ford F-150 XLT SuperCrew 2.7 EcoBoost 4X4

28-04-2016Kevin Harrison No comments

By Robert Nichols For the past 38 years Ford has led the way in light truck sales. That fact is not hard to fathom as every day we see F-150’s everywhere. For the 2016 model year Ford is once again leading the way with the introduction of its new trailer backup...

Test Drive: 2016 Toyota Highlander Hybrid Limited

13-04-2016Kevin Harrison No comments

By Kevin Harrison When people think Toyota they tend to think reliability, but of late it seems people are associating another word with the popular Japanese make: hybrids. Toyota of course started off the hybrid craze with the original Prius back in 1997. Since then, its popularity has spawned two more versions...

Test Drive: 2016 Volvo XC90 T6 Inscription

06-04-2016Kevin Harrison No comments

By Kevin Harrison There once was a time when Volvo declared to the world that they would never ever build an SUV. Back then, the safety focused Swedish brand saw SUV's as a potential chink in the armour of their safety pillar. SUV's tended to roll over and if they did the...

Test Drive: 2016 Infiniti QX50

In 2007 a much younger Barack Obama had the designation of a Senator. As we know, that wouldn't last for long as the Hawaiian native had his eye on a much bigger prize. In oder to get there, he campaigned on hope and change. And with that, in 2008, the United...

Test Drive: 2016 Ford Edge 3.5 Titanium AWD

22-03-2016Kevin Harrison No comments

By Kevin Harrison Wait, hasn’t there already been two reviews on the new Ford Edge from cardriven.ca? Why yes there has, avid reader! You may remember my review of the Edge a few months ago with a 2.0 litre 4-cylinder Ecoboost engine under the bonnet. You may also remember that...

Test Drive: 2016 Fiat 500X Trekking AWD

14-03-2016Kevin Harrison No comments

By Kevin Harrison Oddly enough, the experience I have with Fiats is limited to only two models, and we don't even get them North America: the Punto and the Panda. I drove those two while on vacation in Italy four years ago now. I've only had very brief seat time...

Test Drive: 2016 Cadillac CTS 3.6 Premium AWD

07-03-2016Kevin Harrison No comments

By Kevin Harrison I'm not going to start this review off with the tired cliche of stating "this isn't your father's Cadillac", mostly because it's as predictable as a Volvo review with the phrase "gone are the days of boxy styling" somewhere within it. The fact is, Cadillac has gone through a...

Test Drive: 2016 GMC Terrain Denali

26-02-2016Kevin Harrison No comments

By Kevin Harrison GM learned the hard way that simply branding a Chevy as a Pontiac isn’t the best way to maintain a business case. As a result, the Pontiac brand got axed along with the already dying Saab and Hummer brands (RIP Saab - love, a true fan). But interestingly enough...

Test Drive: 2016 Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 4MATIC

18-02-2016Kevin Harrison No comments

By Kevin Harrison Have you finally gotten the hang of German vehicle nomenclature? Well, forget everything you memorized regarding Mercedes-Benz in particular because they've gone ahead and changed their model names on you - at least as far as their SUV's are concerned. The ML-Class is no longer the ML-Class. It's the...

Test Drive: 2016 Toyota Tundra Crewmax Platinum 4X4 1794 Edition

13-02-2016Kevin Harrison No comments

By Kevin Harrison In 1794, the first ranch was established in Texas. Why do you care? You don't. But Toyota does, so much so that they have named their most opulent trim of the Tundra after that year. You see, now in 2016 Toyota has a manufacturing plant in the exact same...
