New Ford Escape Has Style and Features to Hold No. 1

May 15th, 2012 by John Gilbert

2013 Ford Escape Review: The “king” is being replaced by a better-looking, better-handling and more powerful and versatile king, and regardless of what extenuating circumstances combined to make the Ford Escape the top-selling king of the SUV industry for 2011, Ford’s timing couldn’t be better for replacing it with an entirely new Escape for 2013. Technology and a tough economy are dominating the industry, and the Escape was positioned perfectly …

2013 Infiniti JX35

May 14th, 2012 by Frank Aukofer

In academia, the motto is “publish or perish.” In the modern automotive world, with its increasing diversity of products and sophistication among consumers, it is “innovate or languish.” At Infiniti, the luxury division of Japan’s Nissan, they get it. With the 2013 JX35, the company has produced a two-fer: a new vehicle with saleable elements of originality that also bridges a gap in its product lineup. At first blush, the …

April 30th, 2012 by Mark Savage

2012 Mazda CX-5 Review: The Mazda CX-5 is an attractive vehicle that offers better than average gas mileage, a pleasant ride, above average handling and a stylish interior. The CX-5 feels solid and well built, with a quiet and luxurious interior. That’s helped by perforated tan leather seating and soft-touch black textured trim on the dash and doors. A black gloss trim strip accents the dash while the remaining interior …

Honda CR-V Style Aimed at Reclaiming Top Spot

April 23rd, 2012 by John Gilbert

2012 Honda CR-V Review: Honda got quite comfortable when its CR-V became the largest-selling sport-utility vehicle in the industry in 2007 and held that position until 2011. Only production losses caused by the tragic earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan dropped the CR-V behind the Ford Escape as the top-selling SUV, but just over a year later, Honda is back up to speed and projecting the new fourth generation CR-V …

Restyled Honda CR-V Remains Solid Choice

April 9th, 2012 by Mark Savage

2012 Honda CR-V Review: The restyled 2012 Honda CR-V is a solid compact sport-utility vehicle. The 2012 CR-V adds a bit more horsepower (5 to be exact) and adds 1.5 cubic feet of cargo space while its length and height shrink a bit. Pricing has continued to inch higher. The base LX model with two-wheel drive now starts at $22,295 and there’s a hefty $810 delivery fee to get it …

Mazda CX-5 Sets Crossover Bar to Skyactiv Heights

March 29th, 2012 by John Gilbert

2013 Mazda CX-5 Review: Mazda has established a reputation for building vehicles that range from unusual to mainstream, with all of them sharing a heritage of being enjoyable to drive. With its new CX-5, Mazda may have outdone even its own standards — and the analogy of hitting a home run is noteworthy when nearly all competitors are settling for doubles and triples. The CX-5 meets the demands of consumers …

Mazda Crossover Has It All, Nearly

March 20th, 2012 by Mark Savage

2012 Mazda CX-9 Review: Mazda’s stylish CX-9 may be the best looking crossover on the market, plus it’s roomy, quiet and drives well, not something all crossovers can boast. The Grand Touring AWD version starts at $34,785 and the test vehicle hit $40,850, including the $795 delivery fee and some pricey options. For that amount, you get about everything except a power tilt/telescope steering wheel and a sunroof. Both should …
