2008 Saturn Astra

Apr 15 2008

2008 Saturn Astra

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.


2007 Volkswagen Eos

Jan 23 2008

VW Eos

In ancient Greek mythology, Eos was the goddess of the dawn. As in, here comes the sun, break out the SPF and put on your shades. As I drove the Eos, I embraced my own inner sun goddess and shared my light with the world.


2008 Nissan Altima

2008 Nissan Altima

Have you ever been set up on a blind date, only to be told the guy “has a nice personality?” He could be worse, but he also could be better. He’s just sort of average. That’s how I’d describe the 2008 Nissan Altima.


2008 Nissan Altima

2008 Nissan Altima Coupe

During my first outing in this car, onlookers stopped to ogle its sleek lines. Next to a slight caffeine infusion, the best way to start a day is with an ego boost like that — or a really hot shower, both of which are few and far between for us busy moms. Look at me in my Altima Coupe! I’m a cool mom, my hair’s been washed and I drive a hot car. Boom chicka bow wow!


2007 Toyota Highlander Hybrid

Mar 19 2007

Although the finish inside the Toyota Highlander Hybrid is nice and fairly upscale, the exterior styling of the Highlander Hybrid is remarkably unremarkable. The Highlander's styling hasn't evolved much since its introduction to the market. Evolution is such a necessary process. Without it, I'd be sitting here for months chiseling this review into a piece of slate using nothing more than my teeth and a porcupine quill.


2007 Dodge Caliber

Oct 01 2006

In some way, shape or form we make up for the things we like least about ourselves, whether it's make-up, clothes, personality, or any other myriad of tricks and treats. A perfect example of this is the 2007 Dodge's Caliber, dressing up as Inspector Gadget for Halloween.


2007 Volkswagen Passat

Mar 27 2006

Has anybody noticed that car manufacturers are shying away from the use of the term 'station wagon?' Like, I'm returning to my estate for an elegantly prepared meal of foi groi and escargot (you have to say that with a fancy English accent). The alternative is hurrying home in my station wagon to beat the pizza delivery guy that I ordered dinner from on my cell phone during soccer practice.


2006 Audi A3

Dec 19 2005

The double sunroof tricks me into thinking that there is some room in here after all! Wow'di Audi! My kids love the added vantage point when admiring the skyscrapers downtown.


2006 Volkswagen Passat

Dec 12 2005

The center console and glove box in the Passat have air vents in them allowing me to direct AC into those compartments, keeping my kids' drinks and snacks cool while driving. That's innovation!


2006 Volvo V50

Nov 29 2005

The Volvo V50 has this cool "ultra-slim center console" where the stereo and climate controls are. There's a small area behind it to put a small purse. Nifty! A place for my purse other than the passenger seat is the best design innovation since cupholders. I'm serious.
