2018 BMW 640i xDrive GT Review Touring At It's Best By Larry Nutson
Nov 4, 2018
Coupe body styling on a 4-door sedan is somewhat popular these days with entries on the market from a number of brands. I happen to prefer those that are very car-like without some of the SUV attributes such as increased ride-height. I am also a big fan of station wagons. We’ve owned a number of them, even after our ... Continue reading

Here’s My Vote for Lane Departure Warnings
Oct 31, 2018
Consumers praise the buzzers, beepers or chips alert them to unintentional drifting. The car itself sounds a warning or in some vehicles helps steer it back toward the center of the lane.

2018 Audi A5 Coupe Review By Larry Nutson
Oct 30, 2018
The A5 has been redone for 2018 -- outside, inside and underneath too. There’s still the familiar side character line and roof profile along with the muscular rear.

"New Car Review: 2018 Toyota C-HR XLE Review" By John Heilig
Oct 29, 2018
Okay, let’s be honest. The C-HR is not a performance sedan by any means. Under the hood is a 2.0-liter four pumping out 144 horsepower. Acceleration is casual, but with a couple of miles under our belts we learned to work with it. Still, it had more power than my old MGA. The engine is connected to a CVT transmission ...
