Review: 2021 Kia Seltos SX Turbo

Seltos offers one of the most pleasant surprises of the year Normally, when a new model or a new generation of a model trickles out to dealers in Canada, it takes a while before you start to see them on the East Coast. For some models, even mainstream ones, it has been the better part […]

Review: 2021 Mini Cooper SE

Electric cars certainly have their appeal. They produce no emissions, they’re quiet, efficient, and powerful. I especially like the ones that look and drive like their gasoline counterparts, the VW e-Golf for example. Now, there’s a new EV from Mini—the Mini Cooper SE—and I can’t help but get excited about it. The tiny British-German hatchback […]

After A Banner Year In 2020, Cadillac Looks To Keep The Momentum

Don’t look now, but while so many manufacturers took significant hits throughout COVID-stained 2020 (DesRosiers Automotive Consultants recently announced a 19.7 per cent decline in total automotive sales in Canada from 2019-2020), Cadillac managed to buck that trend by achieving a 12.2 per cent growth in retail sales over 2019, making 2020 its best retail […]

Review: 2021 BMW M440i

Very few new automobiles that were released in 2020 have garnered as much controversy as the 2021 BMW 4 Series. If there’s an unwritten rule among the BMW faithful, is that fiddling with the kidney grille is a sacrilegious act; one BMW has taken the liberty of undertaking with little remorse about how its owners […]

Base Camp: 2021 Hyundai Elantra Essential

Despite mounting evidence to the contrary, wide swaths of Canadians still purchase or lease compact sedans. Their numbers are shrinking, to be sure, but there are more than a few automakers willing to re-up their offerings in this important segment. Not the least of which is Hyundai. For the 2021 model year, its compact Elantra […]

Welcome to Nissan Next

Nissan exported its Datsun small cars to become the automaker’s ambassador brand in North America 60 years ago, but not before replacing Joseph “the Prince of Darkness” Lucas’s electrical systems with reliable Japanese components. Innovative engineering helped make the British Austin-inspired Bluebird a minor curiosity when it landed here. By 1971 Datsun was the top-selling […]

Review: 2020 GMC Sierra AT4 1500 Diesel

Diesel power was dealt a blow by various companies playing fast and loose with emissions regulations. But given that the biggest blow to the environment for any vehicle is the manufacture of it, the most environmentally friendly vehicle is the one that lasts the longest. Diesel engines win easily here, because they typically last twice […]
