The SRX is dead. Long live the SRX, albeit with a different name. Meet the entirely new XT5. Will the SRX faithful care about the name change? Likely not, especially after they’ve spent time with the…

2017 Cadillac XT5 Road Test Review

Fogo Island is an idyllic place, perched about as far to the northeast as you can go in Canada. Study the history of Fogo Island, Newfoundland, and you learn what grit and tenacity are all about. Drive around the island and you'll see decades old waterfront buildings that used to process what was the Island's economic mainstay, cod.

Yes, the delicious whitefish from the chilly waters of the North Atlantic Ocean built an economy that provided a decent living for fishermen and their families. When declining cod stocks forced fishermen to trap crab and lobster, fortunes reversed as these shellfish bore larger profits than cod.

The story of the history and economy of Fogo Island bears a resemblance to the story of one of North America's once storied automakers, Cadillac.

Cadillac was formed from the remnants of the Henry Ford Company. After a dispute between Ford and his investors, Ford left the company along with several of his key partners in March 1902. Ford's Read Full Story
Sports cars don’t come more beautifully designed than the recently updated DB9 GT Volante, so how could we resist testing it in all its sleek, sexy aluminum and plush leather and suede? Obvious we couldn’t,…

2016 Aston Martin DB9 GT Volante Road Test Review

Let's start out on the right foot. First, I won't bore you with a description of the DB9 GT Volante's styling. Let's just agree it's stunning from every angle and leave it at that. Second, with respect to this Aston's other attributes, I'll try to keep the superlatives to a minimum if you go easy on me in the comments section when I get carried away and wax poetic.

New for 2016, "GT" lettering gets added to the DB9's derriere to signify some minor styling enhancements, a new instrument panel, and 30 additional horsepower resulting in a very agreeable 540. That, combined with 457 lb-ft torque makes the hardtop zip past 100km/h in 4.5 seconds and the 59-kilo (130-lb) heavier drop-top Volante do so a notch slower, albeit with roof lowered it feels faster, and that's what really matters right?

Not if you overhear a gathering of university aged kids comparing specs on the latest supercars. I'm not judging, because I did much the same with my friends when I was 20-something Read Full Story
If sales were won on styling and performance alone the new XE would quickly vault to the top of the charts, but this newcomer merely opens up Jaguar’s door to the strongest segment in the luxury sector…

2017 Jaguar XE 35t AWD R-Sport Road Test Review

Which luxury brand builds the best D-segment sport sedan? For decades the benchmark has been BMW's 3 Series, with Mercedes' C-Class and Audi's A4 sometimes doing as good a job or better, plus others like the Infiniti Q50, Lexus IS and Cadillac ATS nipping at their collective German heels, but Jaguar has been a relative no-show.

OK, the X-Type showed up in 2001 and lived on until 2009, but it was a relatively weak effort based on the Euro-spec Ford Mondeo family sedan that didn't inure much passion from the brand faithful, nor anyone else for that matter. Such memories will soon be forgotten, however, much thanks to the all-new XE.

To clear up the past and bring you right up to speed, Jaguar changed hands just before the X-Type was cancelled, Ford's now defunct Premier Automotive Group (PAG) entrusting the revered brand to the now highly respected hands of Mr. Ratan Tata and his India-based Tata Motors group. Much needed funds were poured into the independently "soft Read Full Story
