Green stitching? Love it, like it or not so much?

Green stitching? Love it, like it or not so much?
It’s subtle, and I have to admit, I didn’t notice it at first. But once I saw it, it became glaringly obvious. Like a beacon in the darkness. At first I liked it. Then I didn’t like it. Now, I kind of think I might like it again. What in the heck am I talking about... Read more »

Today's Rave: Infiniti JX second-row slider

Today's Rave: Infiniti JX second-row slider
I recently had the chance to check out the all-new Infiniti JX, a new crossover that has taken very specific aim at the Acura MDX. After a very brief time with this hot new number, I think their aim was true. I’ve never found the MDX to be terribly inspired or interesting. It’s luxury. It... Read more »

Sneak Peek: 2013 Audi Allroad

image.attributes.post_excerpt
The Audi Exchange up in Highland Park managed to get their hands on a couple 2013 Audi Allroads for 2 days. And they kindly offered me the chance to swing by and check it out. Which, of course, I did. This all-new model, though it may look like an A4 wagon, won’t have any A4... Read more »

Whatdahyawannaknow: 2012 Hyundai Elantra

So, I created the Storify of the Hyundai Elantra when I was driving it a few months ago, but for reasons unknown to myself, I never posted it to my blog. Now that I’ve rediscovered the storification process (yes I made that up), I figured I’d share it now. Please feel free to post any... Read more »

The Storified response to yesterday's blog post

Since people tend to comment more on Twitter than on my blog … I decided to bring their responses to you via Storify. So, did people like the tri-color seats or not … ?   [View the story "And the nays have it ..." on Storify]... Read more »

Tri-color leather seats a go ... or a no-no?

Tri-color leather seats a go ... or a no-no?
Recently I tested the 2012 Suzuki Grand Vitara. While I loved that this car had heated leather seats (and all-wheel drive for less than $25K) … I was a little less than enthusiastic about the three colors stitched together to make the seats. I know the lighting on the photo is a bit wonky, but... Read more »

Fiat 'House Arrest' commercial is #winning

I love the Fiat 500 because it’s fun to drive … as well as the perfect size for Chicago. This new commercial with Charlie Sheen shows off it’s capability because of it’s compact size. Though I find Sheen annoying, I enjoyed the commercial anyway... Read more »

Today's Rant: OnStar + Nav = #Fail

Today's Rant: OnStar + Nav = #Fail
OK, I want to start by saying I love OnStar. And, I also love having an in-car navigation system complete with 4-color map. But, when it comes to General Motors vehicles, I recommend that you get one or the other. Not both. I recently drove the Buick Regal, and it had both OnStar and a... Read more »

First look: 2013 Hyundai Genesis Coupe

First look: 2013 Hyundai Genesis Coupe
Staring at the orange pylons weaving in a violent pattern ahead of me, I have to admit my heart skipped a beat. I’m not very good at autocross and haven’t practiced in more than 3 years. Plus, the fact that I had an audience that included not only several of my male counterparts but also... Read more »

Photo Gallery: 2013 Hyundai Genesis Coupe

image.attributes.post_excerpt
I only had a brief time behind the wheel of the refreshed Hyundai Genesis Coupe, but it was enough time for me to think: Where have you been all my life? This was the first time I spent any real seat time in this car. (We don’t talk about my failed drifting lesson in the... Read more »
