2013 Chevrolet TrailBlazer

The body on frame SUV market in the USA has declined. I think we all can agree on that. I think the 4runner, Pathfinder, Grand Cherokee, and Durango are the few remaining non luxury bof SUV's on the market. But Chevy may make a comeback in this segment here in the states. As of right now, GM has not confirmed that the new Trailblazer will be sold in the US but, I think it will be sold here in the United States eventually. I love the look of this new Trailblazer. Looks way better than the new Colorado which share the same platform. Looks more refined and up to date compared to the 02-08 Trailblazer.

2012 Subaru XV

Subaru has always been the car that no one pays attention to. Its like they don't even exist. I hardly see any on the streets except for maybe a few WRX Imprezas. But, this 2012 XV is a good looking little 4 door hatchback.  Maybe just maybe, it may boost Subaru sales enough in North America so I can see a few of these on the highway.

Throwback Car Of The Week: 1976 Cadillac Deville

The last true big Cadillac. I loved these models. When they downsized in '77, I really didn't start liking Cadillacs again until the 2000s when their Art & Science designs began to come out. Cadillac needs a rear wheel drive large sedan to compete with the S-Classes and 7-Series of the world.

2011 Toyota 4runner

I love Toyota trucks and SUV's. In fact I'm in the market for a 4th Gen (2003-2009) 4runner right now. However, the 5th Gen 4runners dont look that great to me. Its like something from the Transformers movie merged with a 3rd Gen (1996-2002) model. One thing that pisses me off about the 4runners is that its becoming more "Lexified" it has all the qualities of a Lexus without being one. The price of a limited 4runner is almost as much as its rich brother, the Lexus GX. The best looking 4runners were the 3rd and 4th gens by far. This one just doesnt look right to me.






Here's Youtube Member Intechdude300's video on the 4runner

2011 Mazda 2

Its a  Ford Fiesta in Mazda clothing but, I think this one looks better than its Ford brother. Small cars used to be so cheap looking when it came to the interior and weak ass engine. Now automakers are stepping up their game knowing that not just poor people want a fuel efficient car.

2013 Ford Escape

Its about time Ford gives the Escape a needed complete redesign. I thought they were going Ranger on it since the same basic design has been around since 2001 with a refresh in 2008. The 2013 Escape is based on the Ford Kuga which is sold in Europe.I like it. I've liked Fords approach from the late 2000s till now. Especially now that their quality is now on par with Toyota. I think thew new Escape will do well like the 1st generation.
