Review of the 2006 Volvo XC90

2007 Volvo XC90 - 12/30/06

MSRP: $36,135 - $49,300 | MPG: 20 Hwy, 17 City

This past fall, the Pope was given a Volvo XC90 for his official transportation. I keep telling myself that even though I’m not a VIP (holy or otherwise), I’m sure I will fit in the XC90 just fine. Hey, if it’s good enough for the Pope ...


Review of the 2006 Hyundai Santa Fe

2007 Hyundai Santa Fe - 11/14/06

MSRP: $21,145 - $28,145 | MPG: 24 Hwy, 21 City

The Santa Fe is all grown up, slenderized, sophisticated, sleek and gorgeous. I’m a little jealous, to tell you the truth, and I think that means I’m spending way too much time with cars.


Review of the 2006 Lexus RX 350

2007 Lexus RX 350 - 11/09/06

MSRP: $37,400 - $38,800 | MPG: 24 Hwy, 20 City

I like that this car doesn’t feel like a family truckster but performs like one, handling various errands and tight parking spaces with ease and grace. My husband can hang out in the RX350 and not feel like he’s in a mom car or chick car. No evading errands for him if we owned one!


Review of the 2006 Audi Q7

2007 Audi Q7 - 11/01/06

MSRP: $39,900 - $59,900 | MPG: 19 Hwy, 16 City

I’ve been waiting for a car to come along that is chic enough to look good on those moms among us who we all want to be. You know, the moms that look fab running errands, wearing denim with grape juice stains for the third day in a row and pulling it off with the utmost panache. This fantasy car of mine must be designed and engineered by someone clever, someone in the know, a genius or savant possibly, or better yet - a parent.


Review of the 2006 Mitsubishi Outlander

2007 Mitsubishi Outlander - 9/18/06

MSRP: $21,370 - $25,010 | MPG: 26 Hwy, 20 City

The Outlander is actually designed for, and geared towards, college-age males. But really, Mitsubishi could come up with a Mom Package and the Outlander would do very well.


Review of the 2006 Dodge Nitro

2007 Dodge Nitro - 9/13/06

MSRP: $19,350 - $24,420 | MPG: 22 Hwy, 18 City

Not only do I start imagining the possibilities with my kid’s bikes and other gear, but I am pleased to find out that under the sliding floor there is actually a respectably sized area where I could stash extra coats for the kids or even diapers and wipes. I am sure Dodge was not thinking diaper-mobile when they designed that feature but, hey, it works!


Review of the 2006 Nissan Murano

2006 Nissan Murano - 8/01/06

MSRP: $27,600 - $31,700 | MPG: 24 Hwy, 20 City

Looking for and buying a car is much like buying jeans. The work entailed in finding the right fit can be brutal. The Murano makes the purchasing decision easy. A fun, sexy car with no embarrassing three-way mirrors or visible panty lines is a gem.


Review of the 2006 Mercury Mariner Hybrid

2006 Mercury Mariner Hybrid - 7/26/06

MSRP: $29,225 - $29,225 | MPG: 29 Hwy, 33 City

When I stop at a light the gas engine shuts off. Luckily, I was told this would happen so I didn’t suffer the embarrassment of trying to re-start a running car at a light.


Review of the 2006 Cadillac Escalade

2007 Cadillac Escalade - 6/26/06

MSRP: $54,670 - $57,225 | MPG: 19 Hwy, 13 City

What on EARTH could I possibly not like about the Escalade? It is large, handsome, and clad in leather. What more is there to want in a man? Er, a car?


Review of the 2006 Hummer H2

2006 Hummer H2 - 6/19/06

MSRP: $53,035 - $53,035 | MPG: Hwy, City

Offering carrot sticks doesn’t exactly make me a kid magnet in the food department and I’m certainly not the “cool” mom who passes out Twizzlers to clusters of ecstatic kids at the playground. Driving the Hummer H2 SUT, however, instantly converts me into Miss Mommy Popularity.
