It drives well, the cabin is very impressive, and the seats are comfortable, at least if you're not sitting way at the back. Find out more in my review over at Driving.ca.

May 3, 2021 at 10:59 PM A rotary-powered pickup, four-wheel steering, and of course I couldn't leave out the Blackwood - these were truck ideas that were created in good faith but never accepted by customers.

May 1, 2021 at 11:04 PM The Forester and Outback are tied as my favorite Subaru models, and this time around, I'm in the sport-utility one. It's a good performer and it's simple, and that's what I like about it. Find out more in my review at the National Post (Driving.ca).

April 25, 2021 at 11:01 AM Hyundai has announced its upcoming Santa Cruz, which many people are decrying because it's based on an SUV. But of course it's not the first car-truck mash-up, and those have quite a history. Find out more about those days-gone-by models in my story at the National Post (Driving.ca).

April 23, 2021 at 10:59 AM That's a picture of what's behind the taillight of my 1995 Dodge Ram, which I bought new, and have driven on salty winter roads since 1994. My friend has had to do considerable rust repair to his 1999 Chevrolet Suburban, and so we compared the two. See why prevention is better than cure in our story at the National Post (Driving.ca).

April 21, 2021 at 10:59 AM Canada has a long and fascinating auto history of its own, with a number of cars that weren't made anywhere else - and the Canadian Automotive Museum in Oshawa, Ontario has a large collection of them.

April 20, 2021 at 10:59 AM If you take pickup trucks out of the equation, the best-selling vehicle in Canada isn't the Honda Civic, but the Toyota RAV4.

April 13, 2021 at 10:58 AM You can get a Challenger that boasts nearly 800 horsepower, but I had the V6, and with all-wheel drive to boot - and there's an awful lot that's right with this car.

March 26, 2021 at 10:59 AM There are a lot of features you take for granted on your car, such as keyless entry, and some mysteries - why do some windows go down automatically but not up, or why am I paying for air at the gas station?
