Most of us on this planet are not wealthy. Most of you reading this review enjoy spirited driving. Seeing that you are most likely not a person of means and that you enjoy being behind the wheel of a vehicle, you’re probably intimately familiar with the “slow-car-fast” concept.

2010 Toyota 4Runner Part Two: The Trail
/
/
comments
Yesterday we covered the aptly named 4Runner Limited, finding it to be roomy and pleasant, but largely devoid of the capability to justify its purchase over a crossover or wagon. We’ve got good news: the Trail is just as aptly named, with a host of features specifically engineered for hitting the dirt. Our tester came…

2010 Toyota 4Runner, Part One: The Limited

In a way, you could call this A Tale of Two 4Runners. Toyota was kind enough to loan us two 2010 4Runners: a Limited and a Trail. We’ll get to the Trail tomorrow, but today we’re focusing on the Limited. The Limited is what we’ve come to know and expect from SUVs: an oversized truck…

The film Roxanne, written by Steve Martin and released in 1987, is a modern version of the classic play Cyrano de Bergerac which was penned exactly 90 years prior.

Sometimes it feels good to get off the ground and survey the world around you. I have driven a number of cars for Hooniverse.com and most fall into either the sporty or luxurious categories, with some toeing the line of both worlds.

Kih-Za-Shee. Not Keeshasha, Kezhasee, or Kissahee. Definitely not Ke$ha either…eww. This is the 2010 Suzuki Kizashi SE All-Wheel Drive and it’s a good car with a weird name. The name does have a purpose beyond confusing old men and young women, as it roughly translates to “omen” or “warning” in English. The Kizashi is basically…
