• NorthwestAuto reviewed a 2010 Chevrolet Malibu

  

  

  Still solid and well-built

  The mid-sized sedan is a major building block of the auto industry, but the cars themselves rarely get a lot of attention. Yet these cars are among the most common vehicles on the road and every major …more

  Bitchin’ Camaro

  For baby boomers, the Chevrolet Camaro was an iconic pony car – the macho alternative to the two-seat Corvette. The Camaro was the working man’s hot rod, populating every dragstrip, road course, and …more

  An everyday SUV

  In the general way of things, I’m not a big fan of driving around in an SUV. They tend to be overweight, slow, and they wallow in corners. My biggest complaint is that they can be heavy and at the …more

  Still Fun After All These Years

  Maybe I’m repeating myself, but you just can’t go wrong with a convertible Jag. This week marks the third time I’ve had the Jaguar XK convertible for a week’s test-drive, and it’s the third time I’ll …more

  High-endy Hyundai - 2009 Veracruz CUV

  It’s fall, and that means it’s SUV testing season in the great Northwest. Last week we looked at the Suzuki XL7 and this week we’ve got another Asian manufacturer headed upscale in the family SUV …more

  A Car for All Seasons - 2009 Mazda MX-5 PRHT

  Mazda’s MX-5 Miata is the best-selling roadster of all time. Since the model’s introduction in 1989, Mazda has built and sold over 800,000 of the plucky little sports cars – with most of them sold …more

  Dodge Charger SXT AWD

  When I first encountered the new Dodge Charger back in 2006, I was impressed with the sheer size of it. For a car that Mopar was trying to sell as a sports car for guys in their 40s, it was…..not a …more

  Lincoln MKS - Ford’s answer to the CTS

  Back in 2002, Cadillac made a bold play to shed its image as an old man’s car by introducing the CTS. They even picked Led Zeppelin’s iconic tune “Rock and Roll” as the theme music. I have never in …more

  Making hybrid history

  Historians will look back at the Toyota Prius as a pivotal change agent for the automotive world. Some of the reasons for this are obvious – the first mass-produced hybrid engine passenger car leaps …more

  Caliber SXT

  It felt strange to spend a week driving the Dodge Caliber while Chrysler was in the midst of bankruptcy proceedings. I kept waiting for someone to shout “Dead Man Walking” or at least “Dead Car …more

• NorthwestAuto reviewed a 2010 Volvo XC60

  

  

  Safety first

  I like Volvos. By any standard, a Volvo is a good car. They’re comfortable, well-engineered, good-looking, nice to drive, and they have all the latest features. And they’re safe, which is always a …more

  Boxcar Chic

  The Kia Soul is the latest in what I like to call “Boxcar Chic” automotive design. Also known affectionately as the “cookie box” or “shoebox” look, the first example of this was the Scion xB, followed …more

  Dodge Challenger SRT8

  This is 2009, and we’re supposed to be frugal, serious, and green. Especially here in Portland, Oregon where I live, greenness is a virtue we take seriously. We’re all about sensible transportation …more

  The Way It Oughta Be: Chrysler 300C SRT8

  I have a simple prescription to save Chrysler: Get rid of everything that isn’t SRT. For those who haven’t paid much attention to Chrysler in the last few years, SRT stands for Street and Racing …more

  2009 Ford Flex

  It’s hard to know what to say about the Ford Flex - it’s not quite an SUV, certainly not a diminutive passenger car, and nothing at all like a minivan. In a week of driving it around, it reminded me …more

  Affordable, comfortable, useful, and thrifty

  It’s been a little over a year since I took a 2007 Mitsubishi Outlander on the Alcan 5000 winter rally. With some friends, I drove that Outlander over 10,000 miles from Los Angeles, California to …more
