[Ed. Note: Friend of Hooniverse Nick Gregson recently rented a Camaro SS and hit the California roads for a weekend adventure. Here is part one of his story] It all started on an overcast Friday morning, not unlike any other June-Gloom overcast morning in coastal southern California when I showed up at the Long Beach…

Drag Race Review: 2008 Toyota Tundra TRD Supercharged

comments
Not many people know that Toyota makes weapons. They calmly focus your attention on their everyday vehicles like the Camry, Prius, and other vehicles built for the daily grind. However, deep in the darkest parts of their automotive stable lies an assassin. Parked among the discarded carcasses of turbocharged Supras sits a vehicle that doesn’t make…

We all know Audi’s illustrious sporting history which ranges from Group B monsters to Pikes Peak killers. The current history features an exotic trio of R8s for the street and the mighty diesels that tackle the endurance racing world. It’s not just the Audi super vehicles which charm us with their sports car bravado and…

2010 Audi Q5

comments
Last time I reviewed a crossover, I told you that I was beginning to warm up to them. It is getting harder and harder to find a good sporty wagon, and the more crossover Kool-Aid I drink the better they start to look. If you squint at the picture of this 2010 Audi Q5 above…

Two-Wheel Tuesday Review: 2010 Ural Solo sT
/
/
comments
For a company that has been producing the same motorcycle, virtually unchanged, since 1941, the 2010 Ural Solo sT represents all the things motorcycling stands for: risk, uncertainty, freedom. But those qualities aren’t exactly the basis of most solid business strategies. If the Solo fell flat on its face, it might spell the end for…

2010 Acura TSX V6

The world of luxury automobile ownership often starts with a gateway vehicle. A car which gets to sit with the more upscale members of the family for photographs but is then quickly relegated out of the garage, into the driveway. A proper entry-level luxury sedan should serve to entice a younger generation with hints of…

2010 Buick LaCrosse

comments
The 2010 Buick LaCrosse CXS is one good looking luxury sedan. It represents the mid-way point for the brands Benjamin Button-esque transformation from “vehicles fit for my grandmothers driveay” to “vehicles I would happily take on a Vegas road trip”. The first stage in this process was the Buick Enclave and the last stage will…

2011 Kia Sorento

One of my least favorite segments of the automotive industry is the mid-size crossover utility vehicle. I know it has practically become an automotive journalism cliché at this point but I love a good wagon. I see no reason to choose a tall wagon over one with a lower entry point and roofline. That being…

2010 Lexus IS F

/
comments
Comfort, subtle style, and luxury are three things that the Lexus brand has come to be known for. Aggressive noise and a pulse-quickening V8 engine are not. The 2010 Lexus IS F doesn’t simply ignore the cozy standards set by the rest of the brand – it screams past them at high-velocity leaving only the…

2010 Dodge Dakota

comments
The last 10 years brought marked advances in power, handling, safety and creature comforts to the half-ton truck. Apparently no one told the Dakota, which is still partying like it’s 1999. Jeff asked me not to use the term “piece of shit truck” in a review, but what he didn’t realize is that I meant it…
