Hertz "prestige" collection in Phoenix Az had a brand new XLR for rent yesterday. Being the Cadillac buff that I have now become I had to rent it ( $165 per day ! ). So as the XLR is waiting in the parking lot let me give a cliff notes version of my experience; One of the best driving sports...

Yes, I went a little overboard with the title but I wanted to catch your attention. I just sat in the Lexus LX470 - their "big" SUV. They have their big one, the LX470, a middle one, the GX470 which is about the same height - just a little thinner, and the RX330, their small SUV. The LX470...

Volkswagen AG on Thursday became the first foreign automaker whose exports to Japan have topped the 1 million vehicle threshold, the Japanese arm of the German automaker said. Japan began importing Volkswagens in 1953, with the first imported model being a Beetle. Of the 1 million vehicles...

A second-hand Volkswagen Golf once owned by Pope Benedict sold for 188,938 euros ($244,800) to a U.S. buyer in frenzied online bidding, a spokeswoman for eBay in Germany said Thursday.

Interesting article in Edmunds Inside Line today. Basically says lots of people are passing up one of the greatest cars built today for the badge alone. I think we all pretty much professed this from the beginning. And if perhaps there is a vehicle that is doing worse than the XLR, the Phaeton...

I was sitting at Quiznos today(mmm toasty) and i could see a Toyota Camry just outside the window next to me parked by my Seville. And it dawned on me the Ford focus looks like a smaller version of the Toyota Camry in every aspect almost(usually its ford who steals) But the current Camry came...

SUVs bear down on car sales By Earle Eldridge, USA TODAY Midsize cars continue to be the top-selling segment in the U.S. automotive market. But maybe not for long. The family sedans are losing market share every year, while midsize sport-utility vehicles are gaining. In fact, midsize SUVs are...

I was wondering if anyone knew how to disable the delay mechanism on my automatic climate control. I believe it's a 2 part setup, a thermostat on the heater valve and a restrictor tube (orfice tube). I never did understand why further delay was needed after the coolant was hot enough to trip the...

Being that my girlfriend owns a '99 Volkswagen Passat - I get to see all the little things that make the car good and bad. Until the Phaeton hits the streets, the Passat is Volkswagen's luxury car. While it IS a very, very nice car - it's small (#1), not very soft-riding (#2 - though I don't...

I guess I'm a bit different in that I much prefer shifting gears. I drive off road quite a bit and my thinking is that I am less likely to get stuck with manual. I also prefer manual transmission in more high performance vehicles. I grew up with mostly automatics and there is just something...

Oh my God it was horrible! I had to drive it from northern New Jersey to Long Island.. I thought the Jetta handled bad. Now, I have a new respect for it.. The "bug" just jiggles all over the place. It's a handling nightmare! AND - it's all plastic and metal inside.. There's nothing cushy about...
