Back in November, I published a preview of the 2011 Scion tC from a media event Scion held, concluding that the all-new tC is an evolution for the better, offering more power, more economy, more room, a more modern feel, and an overall better drive. I was impressed as a whole, but media events – [...]
Remember the HS 250h Hybrid that Lexus put on sale in 2009? Well, it didn’t really work out for them. Turns out people weren’t really into buying a souped-up hybrid Corolla with a Lexus badge. In fact Lexus themselves aren’t too crazy about it. They blame it on the incredible success and market share of [...]
UPDATE: 2011 Scion tC Review In the early 2000s, Toyota’s demographic was quite a bit older than industry average, and the Lexus brand only made their typical customer even more mature. In an attempt to capture a younger crowd, the Scion brand was launched in 2003. The xB came first, nothing but a funky box [...]
Growing up, there had always been a station wagon parked in the Borgia family garage. We went through a couple of Mercury Sables (bench front seat of course) as well as a handful of the wonderfully boxy Volvo 850 turbo wagons. And I remember every one of them fondly.

My father is the biggest car nut you will ever meet and over the years he has amassed what some would consider a dream garage: 1969 Camaro, 1996 300ZX and now the car he’s been dreaming about since the day the magazines put out the original sketches: the all new Dodge Challenger SRT8. Now that [...]
The Volkswagen GTI has been an automotive favorite since it was first revealed to the public in 1975. When it first hit the street, the tiny two-door hatchback wasn’t overly powerful at 108 horsepower. However, that didn’t hurt the playful nature of the GTI at all, as it was a very nimble, bare-bones pocket-rocket that [...]
