2008 Nissan Rogue - Class Winner

Winner of the AJAC "SUV/CUV under $35,000" category, the Nissan Rogue is a delightful newcomer to this expanding market. Since we subconsciously correlate size with price, and since this was in the least expensive of the three SUV/CUV categories, I was surprised at how large it was. And for those of you who are wondering what a CUV is - it's a 'Crossover Utility Vehicle'. I know that 'Crossovers' have their roots in SUV's (Sport Utility Vehicles), but I never have quite figured out what these SUV's were crossing over to. But, enough philosophical chatter - this is about the Nissan Rogue. Now since it's a Nissan and since it has a CVT - another acronym, this one meaning 'Continuously Variable Transmission' - it's tempting to think of the Rogue as a baby Nissan Murano. MORE

2008 Infinity G37 with Sport Package and 4-Wheel Steer

It has been an interesting week. With 330 hp under the hood, it felt more like 330 ways to lose a driver’s licence. And to top it off - this particular G37 out of Infiniti's press fleet was bright red or 'Plasma Red' according to the marketing department at Infiniti. Rumour would have us believe that red cars are a sure way to attract more than one's fair share of attention from the police. Although there is no evidence to support this common belief, I wasn't going to take any chances. However, as it turned out, I never spotted one police car during the whole week I drove the car. Regardless - the Infiniti G37 was a joy to drive at any speed - MORE

2008 Subaru Outback 3.0R Premier

People would come up to me and say something along the lines - "That's a really nice car - what is it?" Others would recognise the 6 star Subaru logo and take a keen interest in this particular model. On being told it was 2008 Outback, one person mentioned recalled it was Paul Hogan's car. But what surprised me the most - everyone just loved the 'Dark Bronze' colour which just happens to be new for 2008... MORE

Vintage Racing

Nostalgia floated gently in the breeze this past weekend as the Vintage Automobile Racing Association of Canada (VARAC) once again hosted the Vintage racing event at Mosport International Raceway. It took us back to a time when men were men and cars were cars. To a time when spectators stood on banks and daring photographers toed the edge of the track. Well, let’s not get too nostalgic. Mosport has changed in the past 40 years since it first ran a Formula One race. There are now concrete walls, gravel traps and and high catch fences to protect the racers from the spectators - or is that the other way around - who knows? - read more or SEE MORE PICTURES
