American Big Three firing back at rivals
In the past decade, the Big 3's trucks have been top-five
sellers in North America for the large majority of the years. Ford's
F-Series tops sales year after year, usually followed closely by
Chevrolet/GMC with Dodge's Ram lineup bringing up the rear.
Sports action comes with traction
With rare exception I have always liked the vehicles that
wear the Acura nameplate. They are generally light and lively with
excellent handling and spirited powertrains. And they exude a
certain positive vibe that makes me actually look forward to jumping
behind the wheel and driving.
Mazda3 maintains its winning ways
In 1999, the Mazda Protege won the Automobile Journalists
Association of Canada's award for Best New Family Sedan under
$25,000. Five years later, the Mazda3 -- the Protege's replacement
-- not only won Best New Economy Car, it was picked as Car of the
Year. The Mazda3 ran rings around its peers and has gone on to
redefine what is expected of an entry-level automobile.
Car review: Nissan Altima Hybrid quiet, powerful and up for the job
The Nissan Altima Hybrid has all the benefits of a hybrid, plus a little extra pep.
Hyundai brings back four-figure vehicle
Hyundai Motor Co. has opened a new chapter in Canada's car
wars, dropping the starting price of its Accent small car to $9,995
nationwide. It's the same price it sold the car for 13 years ago and
the first time in recent memory any manufacturer has offered a new
automobile in the country for four figures.
Roadster finally gets its groove on
Long ago, Mercedes-Benz chose a distinctive path for its
iconic SL roadsters. While the original (1957 to 1963) was based on
the famed and very sporty gull-wing coupe, subsequent generations
became increasingly sophisticated (Mercedes' viewpoint) or wimpy (in
the view of the brand's harshest critics). This downward spiral
probably culminated in the mid-'80s SL560, a glamorous beast to be
sure, but hardly sportier than a Toyota Solara.
Green cars compete for $10M
More than 60 teams chasing $10 million in prize money have

fuel-efficient vehicles, organizers say.
Spark of an idea coming to fruition
It's a cliche, but in this case an appropriate one: What's

Cancellation makes iconic Magnum a future collectible
By now, it is no secret that the new masters of Chrysler --
with Bob Nardelli, its hand-picked CEO (formerly of Home Depot) --
have decided to dump several models. Among these is the unusual and
rather clever Magnum.
Tribeca trumps Edge with details
The crossover market is growing at an extraordinary rate, and
the entrants are coming from every conceivable angle. Some are
SUV-based, others mimic minivans in everything but name. Then there
are the two vehicles tested here. They are more like cars on
steroids than anything else.
