GAAMA members enjoyed a look at the new 2013 Audi allroad today at Parish Food & Goods in Inman Park. Now based on the A4 Avant wagon, the allroad name returns after a seven year absence, bringing standard all-wheel drive, rugged styling and higher ground clearance than the standard A4 sedan. The allroad also offers Audi connect telematics, which includes […]

Here’s a first look at the latest Ride of the Week, the 2012 Chevrolet Volt. The Volt is not a huge-volume seller, but unless you’re a Chinese Olympic athlete who’s been sequestered away, training for London 2012 over the past four years, you’ve almost certainly heard of it. That’s because the car has received plenty of attention for its high-tech […]

This is the 2012 GMC Terrain, a five-passenger crossover vehicle nearing the end of its model year. The 2013 Terrain is already on the way. It’s available with a larger-displacement V6 and offered in luxury Denali trim. Those updates for 2013 may mean a bargain on the 2012 Terrain, as dealers make room for the new model. The Terrain is […]

Arriving this fall, the 2013 Conquest Evade is an unarmored sister model to the Canadian boutique automaker’s $600,000 Knight XV. I recently posted on that armored luxury limo as I was generally floored by its existence. Conquest just announced the Evade through social media, and posted a teaser video on YouTube. It certainly looks the part, with a close family […]

The latest press release on the new Porsche 918 Spyder really jogged my memory, but not because I’m quite old enough to remember watching Martini liveried 917s and 935s win endurance races in the 1970s. No, it was the late eighties that came to mind, when I was barely a teenager. At that time, I saw for the first time […]

Here’s a first look at the latest Ride of the Week, the 2012 Nissan Murano. This five-passenger crossover is powered exclusively by a 260-horsepower 3.5-liter V6 sending power through a continuously variable transmission (CVT.) Front-wheel drive is standard on the Murano, while all-wheel drive is offered for a $1600 premium on each of four trim levels: S, SV, SL and […]

You can’t be too careful. Especially if you’re a billionaire and/or you live in or travel to dangerous places. That’s why Conquest Vehicles in Toronto builds the Knight XV. The 13,000-lb, 8-foot tall and 20-foot long truck, built on a Ford F-550 Super Duty chassis, seats six in bulletproof luxury.

Here’s a first look at the latest Ride of the Week, the 2012 GMC Terrain. With a completely redesigned 2013 Terrain arriving soon, the 2012 model represents the last of the first generation for the five-passenger crossover. The base model is powered by a 2.4-liter Ecotec four-cylinder with direct fuel injection and variable valve timing to achieve segment-best highway fuel […]

This week, Hemmings Classic Wheels features my article on the race-bred, limited-production 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, a car that was purpose built to beat the fastest Fords on the track, but was also for sale to regular customers in Dodge showrooms. Although the Daytona topped 200 mph and won at the first-ever NASCAR race at Talladega, retail sales were a […]

My first video review for Living Vroom looks at the 2012 Hyundai Equus. Those shopping for a top-tier luxury sedan should definitely add the Equus to their short list, especially if seating for a fifth person is not a requirement. The four-seat Equus Ultimate is positively indulgent, and it’s a great value, too.
