2012 Toyota Prius v Review
Thursday, January 12, 2012
Most of us are concerned about fuel economy, but I don't think we're obsessed by it. Paying for gasoline isn't as enjoyable as paying for, say, dinner in a fine restaurant or a good movie. Fortunately, for those who can't stand giving money to the oil companies, there's the Toyota Prius family of vehicles.

2012 Toyota Camry First Impressions
Friday, October 07, 2011
I have to admit that I wasn't really excited to arrive at Toyota Canada's headquarters this morning for the launch of the 2012 Camry. With all due respect to the company, this midsize sedan isn't particularly thrilling to drive. At best, I was expecting a nip & tuck, some added features and, like the 2011 Corolla, a new steering wheel.

Toyota Highlander 4WD V6 Sport review - 2011 SUV comparison test
Saturday, September 24, 2011
Now here's an entrant none of us thought would be as high up on the list as it actually is. The Toyota Highlander turned out to be surprisingly able and quite satisfactory overall. And with the fastest 0-100 km time (7.3 sec), the shortest breaking distance (44m) and second-best fuel economy (13.18 L/100 km), it also turned out to be the most capable. So, how come it only managed to hit 4th place?

2011 Toyota Venza AWD V6 Review
Sunday, September 04, 2011
Generally, large and sensible people movers don't exactly set my pulse racing, particularly when they're clad in "Refrigerator White" as my 2011 Toyota Venza AWD is. But there's something about the rakish roofline and 20" multi-spoke dubs that sets the Venza apart from its more generic brethren.

2011 Toyota Corolla S Review

I've been in the new-car criticizing business for nearly 13 years. In that relatively short period of time, I've witnessed a great many things take place. Of those, three stand out in my mind: The collapse of the Big 3, the rise of the Koreans and the stagnation and partial fall of Toyota. Yes, Toyota was and is a big deal.
