2013 Hyundai Veloster Turbo First Drive
Building a vehicle for everything, whatever, and all-in-between can be a rather tricky and large undertaking but even still, Hyundai went ahead with the attempt back in 2011. What resulted was the 2012 Veloster that was in fact, “engineered for whatever”. The exclusive looking compact hit the market with far too many innovative features not to land [...]
2012 Cadillac CTS-V Review
Occasionally, a car comes along that alters your perception of what a car should be. A game changing vehicle. Sometimes these cars are merely made without the intent of altering the world, like the original M5, but other times, a car is created purely to destroy perceptions. The CTS-V Sedan is one such car. With Cadillac luxury [...]
2012 Jaguar XF Review
Before 2008, the midsize offering from the British performance and luxury giant Jaguar shared an obnoxiously large amount of DNA with a Lincoln. On top of its slightly less than shocking dynamics, the S-Type was in all honesty, ugly. While the Ford derived global chassis had room for improvement, the older Jaguar sedan simply failed to deliver where [...]
2012 Volvo C70 Convertible Review
Close your eyes and say the word “Volvo”; what comes to mind? More than likely, a boxy sedan that is obnoxiously safe and secure will pop up as a visual but while the Swedish automaker has a zealous fondness towards occupant protection, it isn’t the only thing they’re good at. Oddly enough, in the past few [...]
2012 Audi TT-S Coupe Review
While we here at Autotalk adore all things automotive, that doesn’t mean that each and every example is immune from distaste. Even though the pairing of an internal combustion engine and four wheels will be hard pressed to not deliver a smile, there are instances where true repugnance is created. In 1998, a little car was put [...]
2012 Cadillac Escalade Review
In the late 1990s, General Motors made a risky move by not only stuffing their full size SUV with copious amounts of luxury but by creating the worlds first, Cadillac truck. Given the name Escalade, the vehicle’s future was at first, uncertain as no one really knew if buyers would opt for the Cadillac rather [...]
2013 Ford Mustang Review
Ten years ago, if a Ford Mustang with no GT badge pulled up at a red light and revved its engine at anything remotely quick, its driver would more than likely get laughed at and soon after, see nothing but tail lights. The reason stems from stang’s actually ponies as for ages, a single exhaust and no “GT” [...]
2012 Nissan Quest Review
Even though the American public may currently be obnoxiously in love with the SUV, there is still no denying the incredible and intelligent hauling capabilities of the minivan. Born in the 1980s, the segment was created for the purposes of being a member of the family and since then, things have only gotten better. Nissan may have [...]
2012 Infiniti FX35 Review
Sometime in the 1990s, the automotive industry gave birth to a segment that has housed some of the most unnecessary vehicles ever created. These creations use high output engines, stiff suspension tuning and heavy-duty brakes but along with these sport car like traits are the features of large, heavy and tall utilities. Putting the characteristics of a muscle car [...]
2012 Nissan Murano Review
When Nissan first released the Murano in late 2002, it was entering a new era. The Murano was the first crossover SUV from the Japanese maker to grace american soil, and it brought with it a new level of ability and refinement to a quickly growing segment. Ten years later and the Murano has just gone through its first [...]
