Should I buy a Subaru Crosstrek?Well, yes, you should…we told you that we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend an Impreza and because the two are so closely related it wouldn’t make sense to suggest otherwise where the Crosstrek is concerned.

You’re looking at the best looking vehicle to come out of the Subaru factory these days. Sorry BRZ and Impreza STi- you may be flared out and botched up in some areas, but you’ve been upstaged by a perfect mix of truculence and wedgy styling served up by this heavily massaged version of the familiar Impreza.

While it didn’t invent the high-riding wagon genre (that honor goes to the AMC Eagle) you’re looking at the Subaru Outback, the car responsible for reviving interest in this niche segment thanks in no small part to Crocodile Dundee in the early Ought’s.

One of the things that left an indelible positive impression on us was the ride quality. There’s no unyielding bushings or an oversized wheel and tire package to be found, and coupled with the decent ground clearance you’ll find there is no stretch of scabrous pavement that will unfazed it.

Gracing the Audi stand at this year’s Canadian International Auto Show is the Audi S3. This is the first time we’ll see the smallest “S” car in Canada.

The ST does its own thing with sharp 18-inch wheels, a spoiler of its own, new rocker panels and a gaping maw for a front valance the almost looks like an aftermarket conversion, but stops just short of doing so entirely.

After the improvements to the MDX’s luxury chops, next on the list was to make the vehicle more accessible and more livable both for the adults sitting up front, and the kids in the two rows behind them (Acura is expecting the MDX’s buying population to be younger, affulent families going forward).

The all-new 2014 Fiat 500L, which is slated to hit dealership lots in Canada next month, promises to pack quite the punch.

The C-Class is one of Mercedes’ best sellers; there are many trim choices over two body styles (sedan and coupe) and it means you can get a three-pointed-star on your hood for less than 40 grand.

In addition to a new Eaton Roots-type supercharger, engine internals have been beefed-up with the help of cams sourced from the parts bin for the Ford GT supercar, new piston cooling, cross-drilled cylinder heads and a stronger charge cooler for the intercooler.

The 2012 Mitsubishi i-MiEV all-electric hatchback is gaining traction among Canadian consumers and fleet operators, according to the vehicle maker.

This is the first time the Subaru XV will be shown in Canada. The Subaru XV is a production vehicle currently being sold in other markets, but it’s being shown in Canada in order to gather feedback and input from Canadians.

Please don’t accuse me of writing an unbalanced review. Upon reading it, you might think I’ve gone a bit mad, or that I’ve suddenly been added to BMW’s payroll.

This is not really a small car. Well, in the crossover sense (and yes, this is a crossover vehicle—make no bones about it) it may be a little smaller when compared to its competition, but a hot-hatch it most definitely ain’t.

TomTom has launched Custom Area Analysis, an important historical traffic product that gives customers access to highly granular speed and bottleneck information for road networks around the world.
