I attended an event in New Orleans back in 2007 when Chevrolet was putting great emphasis on their Impala and rapper T.I. was the celebrity spokesperson for the vehicle. It’s been six years since then and the Impala has evolved a great deal. I spent some time in the 2013 Chevy Impala recently and was [...]

I fell in love with the Nissan Juke in 2012 when I first tested it. Not a lot has changed in the 2013 edition of the vehicle – and that’s a good thing. If it aint broke, don’t fix it! The body and design of the Juke is space-age – I think I previously referred [...]

After a 7-year absence, the Dodge brand is back in the U.S. compact sedan market with the all-new 2013 Dodge Dart. This vehicle is the first Chrysler Group vehicle based upon a Fiat architecture that was adapted from the award-winning Alfa Romeo Giulietta.

Do you have rhythm? Ever been in a jukebox on wheels? Do you love the light show inside of a limousine? These are all the questions that you may want to ask yourself before even exploring the Kia Soul. I have been intrigued by this vehicle for quite some time. It’s distinctive and quirky and [...]

Though the 2013 Avalon craftsmanship and styling has been completely revamped, just like its new campaign suggests: “only the name remains.” To highlight the contributions that African-Americans played in the evolution of the 2013 Avalon, Toyota hosted a group of media guests and influencers in Cincinnati, Ohio [...]

Did someone say road trip? That’s just what I did with the 2013 Cadillac ATS 3.6 to get a real feel for the Cadillac luxury sedan. Two friends joined me for a day trip to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania just to see how good this car really was. One friend up front and the other in the [...]

Road trip! The best way to test drive a vehicle is to put it on the highway. That’s what I did after an appearance on the nationally syndicated “Wendy Williams Show” in New York City recently with the 2013 Chevrolet Equinox. After picking up the crossover vehicle from a garage in downtown New York City, [...]

It’s like the quiet car on the Amtrak – full of speed and power, but unless you’re listening to your radio or some other audio device, it’s quiet as a mouse! That’s the best way to explain just how noise-free the 2013 Audi A8L Quattro. Literally, there was pretty much zero engine sound, exhaust noise, [...]
