2012 Hyundai Veloster: First Drive

The 's some strange hybrid of an Aston One-77, Saturn's unlamented three-door SC2 and the beloved Honda CRX. Who'd have thought such a combination was even possible, let alone be a recipe for the most compelling economy car in a largely uninspiring market. Hyundai wanted us to drive the 2012...

For $1,400, take the former Daimler-Chrysler merger to its illogical conclusion

There used to be this joke, back when Mercedes' parent corporation bought Chrysler, that went something like this: how do you pronounce Daimler-Chrysler in German? Daimler, the Chrysler is silent. Today's SL500-bodied Sebring is no joke, but will the price make you wonder if the seller is serious? Speaking of...

For $30,000, 351 Cleveland rocks!

George Clooney and Alejandro deTomaso share something in common - they're both known to have stuck something American into an Italian beauty. And while today's ‘72 Pantera may be no Elisabetta Canalis, it's price might make it within the reach of more than just Dr. Ross. Hey, you got your...

For $4,700, it’s a wolf in Scirocco clothing

Somewhat incongruously there's a based in Wolfsburg, Germany that is named after a ‘70s American TV show - Grizzly Adams. Today's Scirocco is both a Wolfsburg edition, and pretty cool, but will its price ice the deal? Not German, but Italian-American, yesterday's still proved to be not only cool, but...

For $17,500, this Acura NSX is a hot mess

When Honda was designing its all-aluminum super car, the NSX, they turned to Ayrton Senna for help in tuning its handling. Today's 1992 Acura may not demand the mad skills of Senna, or his lifetime winnings to buy, but would you be able to handle its salvage title? Yesterday's Frigidaire...

New Heinz Ketchup Packet: First Drive

Heinz Dip & Squeeze Review Chowing down on fast food in the car used to mean going condiment free or wrestling with a foil packet equally as likely to squirt ketchup on your lap as on your french fries. Now, Heinz is offering a solution with their "car-friendly" packet. But...

For $2,999, go three for four

Audi's executive class sedan has changed its name so many times you'd think it was participating in the witness protection program. Today's '93 Quattro goes by S4 due to its sporting pretensions, but does its seller need to name a new price? Comedian Bill Saluga used to where he claimed...

For $6,500, take five

A palindrome is a word or phrase that is spelled the same both forward or backward - like taco cat or as I pee sir, I see Pisa. The name of today's BMW is a palindromic 535, but could you go either way on its price? No two ways about...

For $2,500, the boxer stands alone

The number 33 appears, unexplained, on the side of beer bottles. It's also the name of both Alfa's gorgeous 33 Stradale and today's 33 Sportwagon. The latter can better the Stradale in carrying home cases of Latrobe's finest, but should it also carry a lower price? Nobody knows beer like...

For $5,000, get an F in Datsun

The E10 Cherry was Nissan's first front wheel drive car ever, while its successor, the F10, popped Datsun's front-drive cherry in the US. Today's 1977 F10 Wagon might not be your first choice for a classic Datsun, but will its price make it the last? Yesterday's was the first such...

For $12,000, that’ll leave a mark

American luxury today lacks the grandeur and optimism of the past, a fact driven by a generation raised with no appreciation for hoods long enough to land a Dreamliner, or the mystique of the opera window. Today's Lincoln Mark V serves as a stoic reminder of what luxury once was,...

For $8,000, experience magnum force

Richard Petty's long relationship with Chrysler ended with the Dodge Magnum, and in fact for the first time since 1960, Petty racked up nary a single Grand National win in 1978 while driving that car. Today's Magnum comes from that same winless year, but will its price earn the checkered?...

2012 Subaru Impreza: First Drive

With off-the-mark fuel economy and iffy styling, the last-gen Impreza found itself behind a couple of curves. Indeed, 41% of buyers who'd considered but didn't choose the previous Impreza cited styling as the reason. But will the change all that? Let's find out. Subaru wanted me to drive the new...

For $110,000, this is one smooth kitty

Jaguar's legendary E-Types are, unarguably, hot cars, but could they also be hot rods? Today's Series I Roadster seeks to find out, but it comes with price that might prove too hot to handle. Wow, yesterday's didn't have a wing and prayer, racking up a massive 95% Crack Pipe loss....

For $5,000, they call me MR 2

If you were to mash up Pixar's Cars and George Romero's Night of the Living Dead into a zombie carpocalypse, you could potentially populate it with Toyotas, so lifeless are most of the company's products. An exception to that stereotype, today's Supercharged MR2 would be the life of the party,...
