Cadillac CTS-V Sport Wagon: Second Drive

It's fast, it handles and it's the answer to a question only asked by a small, noisy few gearheads and automotive journalists. We got another chance behind the wheel of this weekend because, well, it was available in the General's New York City press fleet. But in this "Second Drive,"...

For $4,500, it’s hip to be square... back

As far as gorillas go, the Silverback is the most majestic. And when monkeying around with VWs, a lot of people go ape over the Squareback. Today's ‘66 may not be majestic, but will its price have you asking for some of your silver back? Unsurprisingly, the vast majority -...

For $2,000, this diesel Roadmaster is a real loco-motive

Planes, Trains and Automobiles was hands down a great flick. Contrastingly, today's 6.2 Diesel-converted Roadmaster is kind of plain, sounds like a train, and upon close examination, appears to be an automobile. But is its price all that and a bag of popcorn? Baby got back - Squareback that is...

For $26,500, more Caballista!

Everybody knows Don't Fear the Reaper has got to have more cow bell, but do you think today's limited edition custom Corvette sound better as the Caballista? Les Dunham was a visionary. Few before him had ever even considered putting Eldorado baroque on the truncated platform of the Corvette, and...

For $46,900, is plastic fantastic?

Most of us likely owned an affordable plastic Ferrari when we were kids - made by either Revell or Airfix. Today's 308 GTB is plastic, and there's no assembly required. But is its price a model of value? By the early 1980s, emission and fuel economy standards had diminished the...

For $109,000, the E-limo-nator is just looking for some cash

Just let me know, if you wanna' go, to that shack outside La Grange. Today's '34 Ford limousine is fine, if you've got the time, and the six figures to get yourself in. A hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm. Yesterday's proved so popular that it might just have been able to...

For $1,200, get fired up over this Nissan Van

It's not often that we have a non-runner here on , but today's Nissan Van is a rare survivor of the crusher apocalypse so even though currently immobile, it's still hot stuff. You know how to get a Kleenex® to dance? Blow a little boogie in it. Yesterday's audacious had...

For $6,999, this 740i makes you do all the work

Remember back when the big BMWs didn't look like something Chris Bangle shat out? Well, not only is today's 740i not a bowl circler, it's also not an automatic. But does its price mean you don't give a crap? Despite a proclivity for spontaneous combustion that implied a sense of...

For $35,000, it’s a Jaaaaaaag

When Disneyland first opened, you had to use scrip to get on the rides, and the best attractions required an E-ticket. Jaguar's E-Type has always represented one of autodom's best, and most attractive, rides, but do the mods on today's '65 make it too Mickey Mouse? There's a different appreciation...

For $36,000, SpongeBob Carrera pants

The 356-based Speedster was famously dubbed the bathtub Porsche, after its upside-down bathing apparatus-like appearance. Today's 911 Carrera is claimed to have once been waterlogged, but would that make buying it mean you'd be taking a bath? Yesterday's witness protection program disguised had 66% of you both asking why the...

For $4,000, this 5-Series plays Jay-Z

When not fighting crime, Superman went by his nebbish alter ego, mild-mannered Clark Kent. The BMW 525i is likewise mild-mannered, although today's E34 is hiding something Supra. Despite that, will you find its price to be a crime? Under the sea! Under the sea! Darlin' it's better down where it's...

2012 Honda Civic Si: First Drive

Soichiro Honda's fuel of choice in his youth was high-test sake. He marked his wedding by dancing naked, raced through a life-threatening crash and drove a car filled with geishas off a bridge. (Everyone lived.) Then he founded Honda and found his greatest success breaking convention. Yet here sits the...

For $16,000, this repli-KITT has no kaboodle

The F-body Firebird may never have featured a Hofmeister kink in its roofline, but you could pretend to be Mr. Hasselhoff in today's Knight Rider replicar, and that would be kinky. The original Knight Rider made the eighties bearable, while the new century reboot was so lackluster that it made...

For $5,950, this Durango is a Fairmont with Ranchero dressing

Ford sort of invented the concept of the car-based pickup with the 1925 introduction of the Model T Runabout with Pickup Truck Body. Despite those auspicious beginnings, by the end of the ‘70s Ford had basically ceded the category to Chevy and their El Camino. Today's Fairmont-with-a-bed is a non-factory...

For $25,000, this E21 is hardboiled

Easter may be over, but that doesn't mean cracking open today's egg-colored E21 wouldn't reveal some surprises. Will its price however, make you think the seller is cracked as well? Strangely, BMW's E21 never garnered the same kind of rabid following as did the precedent 2002, nor its successor, the...
