It wasn’t until 14,000 years ago that the dense glacial icecap that once covered Sweden began to retreat. It is believed that 12,000 years later the first hunters entered the area following the migration paths of their...

Test Drive: 2017 Mazda CX-9 Signature
By Kevin Harrison
The other day I saw a first generation Mazda3 sedan in white by the side of the road with a for sale sign on it for private sale. I am not anywhere near in the market for a new car, but I always enjoy seeing what cars are...

Test Drive: 2017 Audi A4 Technik Quattro
By Kevin Harrison
I was recently asked to explain my adoration for European styling, specifically, German styling. The individual who asked is an aficionado of Japanese cars, including their designs. He finds them to be modern, sleek, and conspicuous. By contrast, he finds German styling far too conservative, dull, and unassuming.

Test Drive: 2017 Chrysler Pacifica Limited
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
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
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...

Test Drive: 2016 Honda Civic Coupe Touring 1.5 Turbo
By Kevin Harrison
There really is magic in the Civic nameplate.
The amount of times I’ve heard people say they bought a Civic because “everyone else seems to have one and likes it” is a bit astonishing, especially considering it plays in the same playing field as the likes of the Toyota...

Quick Drive: 2017 Kia Sportage SX Turbo
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,...

Test Drive: 2016 Mazda MX-5 GS
By Kevin Harrison
I need to apologize to you, dear reader, in advance.
You see, when I found out I would be enjoying a week in Mazda’s latest iteration of their iconic roadster; I already started to think about a photoshoot location for it before getting the keys.
When I choose photoshoot locations,...

Quick Drive: 2017 Mercedes-Benz C300 Coupe 4Matic
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...
