Week In Review: August 3rd-7th premium

Underrated Ride Of The Week: 1990-1997 Toyota Land Cruiser premium
  Can a legendary vehicle qualify as underrated? When it’s preceded by two more legends I certainly think so. Such is the case with the J80 Series Toyota Land Cruiser. During its production run from 1990 to 1997, the J80 was offered in a number of different configurations around the world and boosted Land Cruiser sales to 2 […]

Wallpaper Wednesday: 1966 Pontiac GTO premium
Revel in the wonderful simplicity of the 1966 Pontiac GTO cockpit. The big horizontal two spoke steering wheel, the four on the floor shifter, the woodgrain dash, this is elegant American muscle at its finest! The GTO spawned many imitators during its initial run, but no other car was able to blend style and performance […]

Future Used Car Review: 2015 Subaru Impreza 2.0i Limited premium
I’m from Vermont and that means two things: I’m a cheddar snob and I have a predisposition toward driving Subarus. I’ve owned six of them, some turbocharged and built for speed, some naturally aspirated, and some barely capable of climbing a steep grade. My 4th Subaru, a 1995 Legacy wagon, has north of 350k on […]

Malaise Monday 8/3: Chrysler New Yorker Brougham premium
Regardless of body style, the New Yorker has an oddly beautiful look for such a behemoth of an automobile. It's striking from any angle, the pointy chrome bumpers and thick chrome trim around the taillights see to that. I'd go so far as to say that a well kept example of New Yorker Brougham would be at home in a Baroque or Victorian art museum. Too far? Ok, too far.

Underrated Ride Of The Week: 2004-2006 BMW X5 premium
The driving dynamics are good for a car, and the X5 is a whole heck of a lot more versatile than a car. What you loose in tossability is more than made up for with the ready-for-anything attitude and off-road capability of the X5. Plus, it has a split rear hatch which means you can tailgate with it.

How to Let A Vehicle Be Your Road Trip Planner premium
The next time you want to get away, whether it's for just the night or for a month, think about what your vehicle is built for. Is it a stout German sedan built for eating up miles on the Autobahn? A wagon that can comfortably sleep two? Maybe it's an SUV that has for some reason never seen dirt. These vehicles all have qualities that make them uniquely capable of dictating where you might go.

Does Mitsubishi Matter Without The Evo? premium
Perhaps they'll be so bold as to fold their shrinking network of dealerships and be the first major manufacturer to sell cars directly to consumers online. How cool would that be?
