For an automotive writer, familiarity with models of decades past should provide […]

Video: Benevolent Buick Verano Helps ATL Beat the Heat

This week’s ride is the 2012 Buick Verano. Verano means “summer” in Spanish, and this car came at the appropriate time of year. Today the temperature in Atlanta reached a record 106 degrees Fahrenheit. We packed a cooler full of ice cold bottles of water and hit the streets to share some relief.

Old Cars in Old Photos: I Play Detective

Attend the monthly Caffeine & Octane event here in Atlanta and you may meet a local car nut with a French accent. That’s Gabriel. The first time I met him, I’d taken the new Mini Roadster to the show. In my memory, Gabriel sprinted toward me as I parked and got out of the car. It was really probably more […]

While the Windy City’s show is not the biggest in terms of debuts, it still brings plenty of exciting concepts and production introductions.
