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
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
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.

Test Drive: 2016 Mercedes-Benz Metris Cargo Van
By Kevin Harrison
It’s a bit strange that, in the six years I’ve been reviewing new vehicles, I have never once reviewed a commercial vehicle such as a cargo van.
Even stranger then that when the time finally came to get some seat time in a cargo van, it was made by...

Test Drive: 2016 Volkswagen Golf R
By Kevin Harrison
"Shift gear, automatic, damned if I do"
That declaration was not made by myself or any other car aficionado you may know. It's actually a lyric in a song called 'Bad Girls' by Sri Lankan rapper M.I.A.
While I would take a manual transmission over an automatic no matter what the...

Test Drive: 2016 Ford C-Max Hybrid SE
By Kevin Harrison
People sometimes ask me if there really is any true competitor to the Toyota Prius; the car that started the hybrid craze and arguably the most popular hybrid to ever be built.
That's a bit of a tough question to answer. There was the Honda Insight, which most lambasted...

Test Drive: 2016 Land Rover Range Rover TD6
By Robert Nichols
I have always known that Range Rovers are expensive; however I was not aware of just how pricey they actually are. I had been waiting patiently for the keys to the 2016 Range Rover TD6 HSE for a few months and had spent that time plotting how I...
