The last Honda Fit was a great little car, but it was usually the last long-termer I wanted to be stuck with for the night. In short, I didn't fit in the Fit. The driver seat didn't adjust enough, the placement was weird and the steering wheel didn't adjust...

Don't stop believin' that Chrysler can turn things around. Well, you can believe all you want but I have grave doubts after my second weekend in Dodge's new midsize family crossover, the 2009 Journey. This time I took the Journey on a journey to Las Vegas, precisely 549.2 miles there and back...

As I said yesterday, the 2009 Volkswagen CC is not a coupe, as one of its C's declares. But they could call it chocolate pudding, it really wouldn't matter. What it is is another working class executive car: exquisitely made, sleekly styled, highly refined to drive and in 2.0T form, very fuel efficient...

Something strange happened this long Labor Day weekend: I got our long-term Audi R8. The stars aligned, other folks had to drive short-term test cars for road tests, some presumably had people to shuttle about, plus I bumped off our associate automative editor and gave Mike Magrath a Faberge Egg. Anyways, I got the R8...

Hello from Canada, home of myself and the Ford Flex. I'm up here in Toronto on vacation and picked up a 2009 Ford Flex SEL AWD fresh from the Ford factory in nearby Oakville, Ontario. I grew up about 10 minutes from there and frequently drove past the sea of mostly Windstars...

The Hyundai Genesis is without a question one of the most high profile new cars, if not the highest, of the year. Before even getting a chance to drive it and reading the reviews I was positive that this car will bring the Hyundai brand to a different level but I still had doubts in my mind. When the positive reviews starting to come in I was convinced that this car is good, very good as matter of fact, but I was still not a “believer”...

The Saab 9-3 Turbo X Sport Combi is like an old girlfriend who was great in the sack, but you could never see a future with. She also frequently demanded expensive gifts. After driving the limited edition Turbo X for the better part of a week now, I'm similarly smitten...

In the Edmunds.com Family Crossover Comparison Blog, I selected the Buick Enclave as my recommended pick -- or the vehicle I thought best suited the most consumers. After spending a weekend driving the 2009 Ford Flex to and from Big Bear Lake, Calif., I think I have a new recommendation. It boils down to three criteria: interior space, gizmos and styling...

Here is the first official picture of the 2009 Acura TL. I'm heading to New York and Connecticut Monday to drive the fourth generation of Acura's midsize luxury sedan. I can't say I'm overly taken with the new styling given the sexy old car, and the disappointed '09 TSX leaves me very skeptical about this all new 2009 Acura TL...

It seems that I keep doing goofy crap every time I set foot in our long-term Dodgey Grand Caravan. Let's see, I discovered it was a hotlap disappointment at Willow Springs, I sat backwards in the backseat for no particular reason and this past weekend, I added some patriotic flair to the craptacular cabin. So, two weeks ago when I hit Chrysler's Proving Grounds with every Chrysler vehicle at my disposal, I knew I had to do something fun with the Caravan...
