A few months ago, I drove a base model Toyota Camry Hybrid for a week. It was silver. And it was a Camry. In other words, it was completely fine with a few notable positives here and there, but overall, it lacked joy. It was quicker than you'd...

Review: 2017 Hyundai Ioniq Limited
By Kevin Harrison
It's a bout time an automaker gave Toyota a legitimate challenge to the formidable Prius.
Sure, Honda had a bit of a go with the Insight, but with a disappointing ride, and similarly disappointing fuel mileage and quality, its short five year lifespan surprised few of us in the...

Review: 2017 Buick Encore Premium
By Kevin Harrison
You may have recently come across some television advertising from Buick where a diverse young group of people, living their fashionably chic lifestyles suddenly become taken with a vehicle out in the wild that is dumbfoundedly unrecognizable to them.
To no one's surprise, the vehicle in question is eventually...

Review: 2017 Toyota Corolla iM
By Kevin Harrison
I know an unusual amount of people who hate hatchbacks. They will never buy one and will always opt for the sedan version of any car.

Review: 2017 GMC Canyon Duramax Diesel
By Kevin Harrison
I'm ecstatic about the resurgence of the mid-size tuck segment.
For a while, half-tonnes were the name of the game. There's certainly nothing wrong with half-tonnes if you need one, but if you don't, and you want something a bit more suited to every day use, you were a...

Review: 2017 Hyundai Elantra Sport
By Kevin Harrison
I remember the first time I saw the word 'Sport' on a minivan. It was a Ford Windstar that was in bright red, with sporty looking alloy wheels and a spoiler tacked onto the back. That was officially the day the word lost any meaning that equated it...

Test Drive: 2017 Toyota Camry Hybrid
By Kevin Harrison
Here's a fact that may shock some: I like the Prius.

Test Drive: 2017 Acura MDX Elite
By Kevin Harrison
With the RLX posting dismally low sales numbers consistently, it may be a bit fairer to call the MDX the flagship of the Acura lineup (NSX not withstanding).
It has, after all, been a part of Acura's line up for over a decade and a half and, let's be...

Test Drive: 2017 Honda CR-V Touring
By Kevin Harrison
The BMW M5 has been consistently a brilliant car ever since it was introduced back in 1985. I love that.
I love it when an auto maker consistently gets it right, now matter how many times it reinvents a vehicle. I love it because it doesn't often happen.
Unfortunately, that's...

Quick Drive: 2017 Volkswagen Passat V6
By Kevin Harrison
I need to apologize to Volkswagen Canada, who was kind enough to lend me their new Passat for a week, and to you, dear reader, as my review of Volkswagen's largest sedan didn't exactly go as planned.
I always knew this piece would be a 'quick drive' review as...
