Audi has been causing a lot of stir in the automotive world lately. First, there’s the Canadian Car of the Year, the 420hp Audi R8, which was closely followed by the A5/S5 coupe and finally, the new 2009 Audi A4, which was revealed at the Detroit auto show with larger dimensions and more refinement than ever.

My week with the Honda Accord Coupe V6 could not come at a better time: it has been almost one year to the day since this 2008 model was revealed in Detroit and almost exactly two years since I reviewed the seventh-generation Accord Coupe V6. The eighth-generation Accord is, once again, larger than its predecessor and the coupe more sculpted than the sedan, with the traditional flowing lines that all coupes should wear. More…

Welcome back from the holidays, all. The holiday season has come and gone, and once again, it seems like the year just whisked by. This week I am testing the new 2008 Altima Coupé 2.5s — I’ll apologize upfront for the photos of a dirty car with snow on it, it has been close to -30 Celsius the past few days here and believe it or not, the car was clean 20km before I took the photos.

After a short hiatus of sorts I am back with another car. This time, something a little sporty in nature yet still reasonable on the pocket book: the much debated and perhaps anticipated 2008 Honda Civic Si Sedan. Originally, rumours had this car as only being available in the U.S., but Honda has decided to bring it to Canada. More…

Finally, I get a convertible I can test. Oh, wait, I did have the New Beetle… anyway, a convertible! Hopefully the weather network is wrong and it doesn’t rain all week, as this week’s ride is the Pontiac Solstice GXP, the turbocharged performance car from GM that has been turning heads since it was revealed in Detroit a few years back.

Quelle surprise! My test vehicle for this week literally showed up unexpected to me today. I was originally booked in another vehicle for this week, but it was canceled and replaced with this wonderful morsel of fun. And it could not have come at a better time. In fact just Sunday I was admiring one these bad boys during an autocross event here in Ottawa and spoke to the owner for a bit. More…

It is not often I get to jump out of one vehicle and into another that is nearly identically-priced and classed. Having just stepped out of the go-kart-like Mini Cooper S, I was not sure what to expect from the GTI. Would it be as fun and sporting? Would it live up to its history as one of the best hot hatches? Let’s find out. More…

The Mini Cooper S: the epitome of small car fun, with the gusto to match. The movie the Italian Job made the Mini Cooper famous; its sports car-like handling, go kart-like feel and great looks have made it into a success. I’m sure my life is not nearly as interesting as Charlie Croker’s or Stella Bridger’s but I’ll try to put the Mini through its paces just the same. More…

Today was one the most hectic days I have had in a while. I was a little distracted when I picked up this week’s car — the Volvo C30; I got in and headed straight to my regular day job without even really taking a close look at the car. I had a few errands to run after work which kept me distracted as well. More…

Having driven the Targa 4S only a few weeks ago, I had the rare opportunity to come to my own conclusions on the new Cayman platform in comparison to Porsche’s historic 911 architecture this weekend as I spent almost all of it inside the new Cayman. More…
