Mom Wants 2010 Acura ZDX to be a Family-Mobile

Oct 30 2009

When Acura said the all-new 2010 ZDX, a sporty, coupe-like crossover, wasn’t made for families, I was ready to prove them wrong. This is a gorgeous vehicle. Why should I be excluded from the party just because I have kids?


Mercedes-Benz Fights Driver Fatigue

Oct 26 2009

Driving tired is as dangerous as driving drunk, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. While I certainly know better than to get behind the wheel after indulging in adult beverages, what mom doesn’t drive tired? I mean, when are we not tired?


2009 Honda Element

Sep 29 2009

The Honda Element is a fun, practical vehicle as long as you don’t have anyone climbing in or out of the backseat. The Element’s center-opening, swing-wide doors meant my kids couldn’t get in or out of it by themselves. The doors were enough of a problem that they completely destroyed any possibility of the Element getting my stamp of approval.


2010 Toyota Prius

Sep 16 2009

The 2010 Toyota Prius gets great mileage, even for my mountainous driving, and it looks great, too. It has all of the little luxuries that most hybrids eschew as too heavy, and it can actually drive up a serious hill. You have no idea how much that means to me.


From Sketches to Clay, Ford Designers Bring Ideas to Fruition

Sep 08 2009

At the Ford Design Center in Irvine, Calif., 15 designers create the Fords of the future, both in cooperation and in competition with other Ford designers in Detroit, England, Germany and Australia. It’s an international effort to put out global cars.


Guest Drive: Shauna Glenn of Is It 5 O’Clock Yet?

Sep 03 2009

Shauna Glenn blogs at Is it 5 O’clock Yet?, which is a slightly exaggerated yet completely relatable version of her life as a WAHM in Texas. She’s funny, honest and cute, and she’ll tell you so herself.


2009 Toyota Land Cruiser

Aug 28 2009

When I first got into the 2009 Toyota Land Cruiser, I was offended by its size. It’s enormous, and I thought it was a lot more room than I needed. But like a pair of baggy jeans, I found myself spreading out and growing into the Land Cruiser.


Cadillac Rolls Out Second-Generation SRX Crossover

Aug 19 2009

If you think the world of luxury crossovers is crowded, just wait until September when the redesigned Cadillac SRX hits dealerships. For 2010, Caddy has redesigned this crossover from the ground up.


Speed-Demon Mom Learns Hypermiling

Aug 03 2009

I like to drive fast, but my lead foot doesn’t help my car’s fuel efficiency. To help me get better gas mileage, I recently got a crash course in hypermiling — a style of driving that maximizes mileage — while test-driving a 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid during a Ford press event in Los Angeles.


2009 Toyota Highlander Hybrid Limited

Jul 21 2009

The 2009 Highlander Hybrid is an SUV full of contradictions. After a week of hard use by my crack team of vehicular testers — aka my family — all the contradictions boiled down to one irrefutable truth: The HiHy (as we like to call it) is one great family-mobile.
