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.

This is my second foray into the lush world of German sports cars, but the first time I get to spend the next 4 days living the life of someone with more money than I can imagine. Loaded up with a good number of the options from the Porsche catalogue, my Targa 4S test model is one extraordinary machine.

Welcome back from the holidays. I hope all my readers had a good holiday; I certainly did, but it’s time to get back to work, which means another vehicle to testdrive. I’ve been looking forward to testing this week’s vehicle, the Subaru Legacy 2.5GT spec.B. This will be an extended drive as I will be taking it with me to the Detroit auto show this coming weekend.

You know, I really enjoy this gig I’ve got going here, especially when I step out of something like the Acura RDX (which was a fantastic little CUV) and into something even more fantastic: the Lexus IS350.

Shame on me; I have never really been up on my Volkswagen model designations. Of course, I know what a GTI is, but when told I was going to be driving the GLI Jetta this week, I was in the dark as to what exactly the GLI was. I tried looking it up on the VW website to no avail; it still doesn’t exist according to www.vw.ca. To my surprise, I see Laurance Yap’s First Drive on CanadianDriver and realize it is essentially the GTI of the Jetta line-up! More…

GM Created a huge stir at Cobo Hall as they brought in not only the Concept Camaro that everyone was waiting for, but a slew of classic camaros drawing thousands of journalists to GM’s hall including Barry Meguiar.
Not only did they bring these classic beauties to show, but they drove them down the hall and filled the air with testosterone in the form of burning fuel, ear blistering sound of the awe inspiring V8 muscle car of yesteryear.
