• New Car Review: 2013 BMW X1

  
  — Authority:
  Comes a point when a crossover becomes so carlike that the term "crossover", much less "small SUV", no longer really fits. The BMW X1 is at that point. With low ground clearance, this really is more a station wagon than anything else, though BMW likely wont be happy I said that. The good news is, its a very good ...

• 2012 Toyota Prius – 700 Miles of Misery

  
  — Authority:
  I have a strong, preexisting bias against the Toyota Prius, not necessarily for the “greenie” mindset often held by its smug owners or the insect-like styling.
