2009 Mazda 6 GT-V6 Review

greenwad submitted on 10/13/2008 Official Bell & Ross Timestamp: 11:29:36 AM

For the past few years now, Mazda has been giving us boldly styled prototypes, but these liquid lines have been slow to make it into production. For 2009, Mazda is finally launching a model graced with a cleaner version of this liquid styling and a r...

2009 Ford Flex SEL AWD Review

greenwad submitted on 10/7/2008 Official Bell & Ross Timestamp: 12:59:03 PM

To a certain extent, the new Ford Flex embodies today’s Western society, personifying excess in one of its most pleasing forms. How has Ford managed this? Simply by offering a fundamentally useful and practical car wrapped in a cutting edge package. ...

2009 Subaru Legacy 3.0R Premier Package Review

greenwad submitted on 10/7/2008 Official Bell & Ross Timestamp: 12:54:55 PM

The current-generation Legacy and Outback models were launched for the 2005 model year. But unlike some cars that go through a product cycle without any changes, Subaru is constantly improving its mid-size sedan and wagon offerings. For 2009, the ...

Lexus IS F Review

greenwad submitted on 9/30/2008 Official Bell & Ross Timestamp: 6:19:05 AM

It’s funny that one of the loudest cars on the road this year comes from a manufacturer that makes some of the quietest. Of course, when first entering a German-dominated market full of performance sedans, it is important to make some noise- both vis...

Volkswagen Jetta TDI Review

greenwad submitted on 9/17/2008 Official Bell & Ross Timestamp: 1:37:29 PM

The cheating’s over. After selling a 2006 Jetta TDI well into 2008 because of federal emissions regulations in effect for 2007 models and up, Volkwagen has finally introduced the 2009 model with a brand-new turbo diesel engine. Better yet, the new ca...

Honda Accord Coupe EX-L V6 Review

greenwad submitted on 9/10/2008 Official Bell & Ross Timestamp: 4:44:40 AM

It’s not easy being a mid-size, two-door coupe these days. Chevy’s Monte Carlo got its final pit stop last year, while Pontiac is still selling the G6 Coupe, and Nissan recently added a coupe version of its popular Altima. However, you can pretty muc...

Chevrolet Malibu Hybrid Review

greenwad submitted on 8/19/2008 Official Bell & Ross Timestamp: 11:48:55 AM

Saving the planet is a good idea, as long as we’re willing to make sacrifices or drastically change the way we live. The automobile has been targeted as a polluter, so we must either get rid of it or find new ways to get around without further hurtin...

Suzuki Xl7 Jlx Review

greenwad submitted on 7/25/2008 Official Bell & Ross Timestamp: 10:16:43 AM

Neither the first nor the second generation of the Suzuki XL7 is an original product. The former was nothing more than an extra-large, 7-passenger Grand Vitara — hence the name XL7. The latter, meanwhile, is the result of a partnership with Genera...

Toyota Tacoma 4×2 Review

greenwad submitted on 7/25/2008 Official Bell & Ross Timestamp: 10:13:17 AM

First off, I have to say that I very much enjoyed my week in the 08 Tacoma, mainly because it is what I would term an honest truck. Yes, it might not have all of the bells and whistles of some others, but it does the job, and it does it very well. ...

Tested: Suzuki Swift

greenwad submitted on 7/25/2008 Official Bell & Ross Timestamp: 10:11:49 AM

What’s is about Suzuki is back locally, and aiming to gain a market share in the severely competitive small hatchback segment. One of the most innovative Oriental manufacturers – from its diminutive yet capable 4×4s to challenging the 1-litre s...

Road test: Seat Leon Cupra

greenwad submitted on 7/23/2008 Official Bell & Ross Timestamp: 9:55:34 AM

What’s it about? The hot hatch segment is a bit crowded at the moment. That’s never a bad thing of course, but given the cost of fuel and the environmental fallout from global warming, you’d expect things to be different. You certainly won’t se...

Audi A3 2.0t S Line Review

greenwad submitted on 7/23/2008 Official Bell & Ross Timestamp: 9:23:53 AM

Thirty years ago, luxury was sold by the pound. The bigger the car, the pricier the bill - and the higher the prestige. Thus, small sedans were exclusively aimed at low-income customers. But who would have thought, back when the Chevrolet Citation wa...

Pontiac G6 Gxp Sedan Review

greenwad submitted on 7/10/2008 Official Bell & Ross Timestamp: 8:04:05 AM

It’s always a good thing when a sensible sedan is corrupted with excessive performance, visual upgrades and attitude-a-plenty. The Pontiac G6 doesn’t suffer from a lack of power or personality, but the performance vehicle engineers at GM have been bu...
