Winter Driving, How To Do It: 1

December 31st, 2009

070110_winter_drivingIt is wintertime people and since I have moved from one snowy state to another, I have found that there are quite a few rules that you need to follow when you are looking to drive in the snow.  That is what we are going to talk about in the next few blogs, how you can make sure that you get to your destination safe and how you can avoid getting in a car accident.

One of the first things that you want to do is slow down.  While I know that slowing down is extremely difficult sometimes, you want to make sure that you allow at least three times more space than usual in order to allow stopping time.  This will ensure that you will not rear-end someone.

In the next blog, we will talk about how you should stop and what the steps are to keep your car safe in the winter.

A Photographic Review of the Cadillac CTS Coupe

December 23rd, 2009

Cadillac CTS coupeI am not normally a fan of Cadillac models in general, so upon finding one that I do really like — the Cadillac CTS Coupe — I decided that it was more than deserving of an on the spot review. I.E., just my personal opinions here. Of course, it is worth it to first look at some of the specs of this concept.

It definitely looks forward, straight to the future, and Cadillac has been known to call it a celebration of the brand’s heritage of design.

The reason I like the Cadillac CTS Coupe concept so much is actually because it does not really look like a Cadillac.  Because, to me, the very word Cadillac speaks of something large and a little hoopty.  This definitely does not.

There is something sleek about it, something deliciously compact that could almost make a convert out of me.

Va Va Voom: The Toyota Venza

December 21st, 2009

Toyota VenzaThe Toyota Venza is classified as a crossover sedan, and its official debut came at the Detroit Auto Show of 2008. Given the current economy, it is always a good idea to look at cars that are a couple of years older when you are in the market for a new one. Financing and all can be such a mess, sometimes older is definitely better.

Now, the Venza is extremely sleek, with enviable exterior styling. The interior is just as refined and the utility features have been described as being absolutely outstanding. The target audience? Those with very active lifestyles, of course.

The vehicle was mostly engineered down home in Ann Arbor, Michigan, that charming, slightly bohemian college town, in the Toyota Technical Center.

A Check back at the Honda Pilot Concept

December 20th, 2009

Honda Pilot conceptEvery so often — as you shall see — I like to back and check out some of my favorite concepts over the last couple of years. The Honda Pilot concept was one of my faves, because I do so like boxy looking vehicles. It is a quirk of mine, but what can I say? It would be a boring world if none of us had quirks.

This vehicle was scheduled to come out in spring of 2008. The refinement was entirely integrated, along with its packaging attributes. The whole idea behind the prototype was capability and utility running side by side with style in an SUV design.

Good deal! It was one of the most well done concepts for the new classification of small SUVs — or so said its many fans at Detroit’s Spring 2008 motor show.
