Whatever your political or environmental leanings may be, the Prius is fun to drive, and if you write off the Prius due to any affiliations you have, you’re missing out.
Remember those clown cars at the circus? The teeny-tiny ones that would drive into the center ring and 15 clowns would climb out? That was hilarious, right? Well, it’s not that funny when you’re playing the part of the clown, which I did while test-driving the 2008 Toyota Yaris.
She was bright orange. She was a hatchback. But the 2009 Toyota Matrix S AWD wasn’t as fuel-efficient (20/26 mpg city/highway) or cost-effective as I expected (just over $24K).
The 2009 Pontiac Vibe has a lot of things going for it — except its name. The word “vibe” makes me think of certain unmentionables, but the car’s features are a good distraction from its unfortunate moniker.
The new ad campaign for Saturn features a man walking into a Saturn dealer and promptly walking back out the door to take a second look at the sign and make sure he’s in the right place. The message is that Saturn’s got a whole new look — it’s sportier, sleeker and just plain cooler than you ever thought.
When I was young, station wagons were the family car to have. Volvo has long been a stalwart manufacturer of these cars, even when they went the way of jelly shoes. Times have changed, though, and today’s V70 is much sleeker and comes with a few more perks.
I had to learn all of the states, their capitals and, in some cases, their state motto back in elementary school. Remembrances of that got me thinking about what car my state would choose for its official vehicle. After a round of completely unscientific polling and observation, I’ve concluded that Colorado’s state car would be a Subaru.
The Mazda CX-7 is sleek and sexy from the outside in, a direct invitation for Mommy Guilt to intrude: “That car couldn’t possibly be functional, safe and flexible enough to accommodate your growing girls.” Hah! Turns out, Mazda stopped Mommy Guilt dead in her tracks with the CX-7.
In our house, no one could say this car’s name without rolling the “R” and stretching out the “O” at the end: “Rrrrrrrrondoooooo!” This added an element of fun and character missing in the car itself.
