2008 BMW X6 xDrive 35i Review
Wednesday, September 03, 2008
Just when we were coming to grips with vehicle formats and their associated acronyms, BMW tosses another pigment into the mosaic, and it's a fascinating hue. The X6 is referred to by BMW as a 'Sports Activity Coupe' so add 'SAC' to the varied list of acronyms defining the many iterations of the modern chariot. This SUV-gone-coupe stretches the meaning of each segment while merging their respective attributes to create a standalone class of vehicle not yet replicated by any other manufacturer.

2008 BMW 135i Cabriolet Review
Friday, August 15, 2008
North America is now downsizing once again. Trucks are out, small cars are in, and a lot of manufacturers will start offering vehicles that follow the new trend. Ok, it's not really a trend, but more of a desperate measure to keep the cost of driving down. Luckily for BMW, and for most European carmakers, their vehicle lineup across the Atlantic already counts numerous small cars. The 1-Series is perfectly suited to North America, and especially in Canada, and were expecting it for quite a while now. But we weren't expecting what the 135i offers.

2008 BMW 650i Cabriolet Review
Friday, August 22, 2008
That's the thing about this BMW. Sure enough, the majestic bodywork and high-performing powertrain live up to the brand's legendary reputation. But the 6-Series Cabriolet really takes your breath away once you drop the top. Of course, it's a sizeable car, meaning you have to adjust your driving habits accordingly.

2008 BMW 135i Review
Sunday, August 24, 2008
The 1 Series we know is actually a remake of the European car, adapted for North America. On the other side of the pond, this same vehicle actually takes the shape of two hatchbacks, one 3-door version and one 5-door. After the failure of the 318ti (1995-1999), BMW obviously wasn't going to make the same mistake twice, i.e. import a small luxury hatchback with a steep price tag.

Subaru of Indiana Automotive : The green assembly plant
The Subaru of Indiana Automotive (SIA) plant resembles many other modern, American assembly plants. With an annual production of 147,148 units in 2007, it's not the largest one, but it does stand out in a very special way: it's one of the cleanest, if not THE cleanest. The plant, which assembles Subaru Legacy and Outback sedans and station wagons (including the new PZEVs), Subaru Tribeca SUVs and Camry sedans, for its Japanese partner, Toyota, achieved zero-landfill status in 2004.
