    For what seems like eons, if you wanted a compact luxury sedan that was also sporty, there was no need to look anything other than a creation of ze Germans.

    I sold the Phaeton this week. And I soundly defeated the depreciation dragon. A fellow car enthusiast two towns over contacted me online and asked if my car was for sale. I replied maybe and we met on Sunday for lunch and a test drive. And before you know it, the car was sold. I…

    I’d love to believe that every car built is designed with the idea of selling to someone who loves the act of driving. This is not the case, of course. That doesn’t mean these less-than-dynamic machines are bad. They’re built to appeal to a larger audience, and they’re designed to sell. One such vehicle is…

    We’re now just two episodes in, and Blake Z. Rong has already ditched me. He went to Amsterdam to play patty-cake with Antti, or maybe he went to drink and have fun, I forget. Either way, the Hooniverse Podcast show must go on! I’m joined by Zack Klapman, who you probably know from The Smoking…

    Engine in the front, manual transmission shift lever in my hand, and the drive wheels out back are a recipe to make me a happy man. Still, even when these automotive stars align it doesn’t necessarily signal a success story. Maybe the car won’t have enough power, or perhaps part of the car will feel…

    “We existed before… and we’ll exist again.” – I just made these words up, but they sound like they could’ve been spewed from the mouth of a great Sci-Fi-centric General. Let me try that again, “Take my love, take my land, take me where I cannot stand, I don’t care, I’m still free, you can’t…

    Practical, stylish, and still fun to drive. When I use those terms that means I’m talking about a wagon. I love the long roofs, and Audi in particular makes some wonderfully choice examples. Their latest though, is a revival of the Allroad name. It’s based on the A4 Avant but it benefts from 7.1-inches of…

    [Editor’s Note – My apologies to Nissan, this was originally supposed to run months ago but got lost in the shuffle. It was a First Drive, but we’ve decided to just call it a review, hence the strike-through above. — JG] I hate oysters. They’re a poor representation of what’s possible in the world of…
