When you look for an SUV most of the time the thought is to find one that is an easy drive with the above the road height you want to be able to head off road. The Ford Flex is not the SUV you buy for heading off road, it’s also not the one you want when you feel like you need a small maneuverable vehicle. While the Flex is maneuverable enough it’s a larger box shape that is awesome on the roads anywhere. You can take this SUV through the snow and rain or you can enjoy the driving of this vehicle on the open road.
The Adoption Process has Begun
When we hear a story of an adoption from another country or from an orphanage we tend to feel a bit warmer in our hearts, with the hope and goodness that this story can offer. In this case, the orphans are the Scion models and the warm feeling is in the fact that Toyota has chosen to continue to develop and sell most of the vehicles that were part of the Scion lineup, rather than clearing out inventory and ending all Scion models in their tracks. The only orphan not to be given a home under the Toyota brand will be the tC, but the rest will come along to the parent brand.
What’s the Best Vehicle for an Active Lifestyle?
If we define an active lifestyle as one where you enjoy the outdoors but don’t need your vehicle to travel over boulders for you the right vehicle is the Chevrolet Colorado. This is especially true if you are a person who makes their home in the city and finds ways to get away on weekends to some great outdoor destinations. Whether you enjoy skiing, mountain biking, surfing, camping or anything else that involves getting to the wilderness and enjoying the natural surroundings, the Colorado is the right truck for you to enjoy these weekend getaways.
Enthusiastic Normal Cars
In a world where every car has a new class and it feels manufacturers are trying hard to have vehicles that can easily fit into a variety of categories I’m not sure what a normal car is anymore. If we define a normal car as one that looks like it should be made for driving on the commute to and from work then we still have a large variety, but for the most part we all know what a normal car is. What we don’t know is that some of these cars are made to be exciting to drive and are capable of turning even the stodgiest of us into an enthusiast with a huge smile on our faces.
2016 Chevrolet SS: The End of an Era
We have known for some time now that the SS would not be made after the 2016 model year as Chevrolet has pulled the plug on the Australian company Holden. That’s really too bad because this is one car that more of us should have bought and enjoyed driving but because it didn’t fit a specific mold it hasn’t been a vehicle that garnered a great deal of popularity over the years. With awesome power and the bones of the Holden Commodore this awesome car will bid us farewell at the end of this year as the performance sedan that is built to be awesome for the entire family.
2016 Land Rover Discovery Sport: The Compact Luxury SUV for You
As a world renowned company that has continuously produced vehicles that can go anywhere on or off the road to tackle some of the most challenging environments Land Rover did not ignore the fact that the compact SUV market was booming, especially on the luxury side. The Discovery Sport competes with the BMW X3, Audi Q5 and Volvo XC60, but none of them shows the off road prowess of the Discovery Sport which was built to be on the trails and in the wilderness taking on Mother Nature and showing her who’s the boss.

When it Seems like an Odd Marriage
The world is full of oddities that we can witness. When you look at a couple and they don’t seem like a pair that you would expect to be together but it seems to work for them, you get the opportunity to witness an odd marriage. There have been many of these cases over the years in the automotive world for us to see and enjoy as some vehicles that have either been a great way to make a vehicle or have let us down in some form. Let’s check out a few and you can decide for yourself.
Enter the Successor
When you have created the fastest exotic supercar to every prowl the streets of this planet you have earned the right to address some questions with an air of haughtiness. This was the case for Bugatti who informed us when the Veyron production was at an end that the successor would have to be able to produce much more than the Veyron ever did. This boggled the imagination at the time, but now the Chiron (aptly named after a famed Bugatti driver) is here and is certainly a fitting successor to the lauded Veyron.
The City Dwelling Car You Should Consider
Lifestyle choices can determine the need for a specific vehicle. In many cities ride sharing programs have begun and many who live, work and even relax in their city environment make use of public transportation as their mode of travel. While this is a great way to get around, unless your schedule fits the bus or subway exactly you spend a lot of time waiting around, when you could be driving and heading home after work to relax much sooner. For most owning a car when they live in the city they work in doesn’t make a lot of sense, unless it’s a car that is made for city driving.
The Spark Continues to Ignite Us
When you look at the Chevrolet Spark it doesn’t look like much, but a couple years ago Dale Earnhardt Jr. showed us how much fun the previous version of the Spark can be. Even though the Spark was already a great product Chevrolet decided 2016 would mark a new year and new Spark for us to love.
