Flashback Review: 2002 Jaguar “X308″ XJ Sport, a bittersweet experience
As some of you readers have learned through egmCarTech’s first flashback review, my first car was a 1994 Mercedes-Benz W124 E320 Coupe and I absolutely loved it to death. But an unfortunate string of events happened and as a result, the Benz was sent off to the proverbial junkyard in the sky. So naturally, many of you probably thought that I immediately sprung for another E320 Coupe, or at least another Benz from the equivalent period. But because the late body W124 E320 Coupes were produced in so …

Review: 2013 Porsche Cayenne GTS
At the tender age of 15, I got my first ride in a Porsche-a brand new 1988 911 Carrera. The sound of that air cooled flat six ruined me for life. And I swore I would own a Porsche. In college I owned a Porsche 944, which was a great car, handled wonderfully, and holds fond memories as it was the car I took my first drive with the woman I would eventually marry and raise a family. But the burning desire for a 911 never went away. And in June of 2002, my dream came true. To this day, whenever I fire up my…

Review: 2013 Ford Flex Limited AWD
Here at Autosavant, the Ford Flex holds a special place in our hearts. I’ve personally reviewed two of them, and we ended up getting one as a long-term tester (thanks to Kevin Miller making the monthly payments on it). The Flex was intended as Ford’s minivan replacement, since Ford waved the white flag several years ago with the death of the Freestar minivan. Though the Flex doesn’t quite live up to the potential of having the utility of a minivan with the style of a crossov…

2012 Lexus CT200h F Sport Review
If you are looking for a hybrid car you might as well go with a model that is sporty and refined. Lexus launched the all-new CT200 Hybrid in 2011 and brought a new level of luxury to the segment. The Lexus CT 200h is a five-door hatchback that features a hybrid gas-electric powertrain taken from the Toyota Prius. This week we’ll be testing the 2012 CT200h F Sport that comes with sport suspension tuning for a more planted ride in the corners. The CT 200h gives hybrid buyers the Lexus luxury and also …

Review: 2013 Volvo S60 T6 R-Design
In the Volvo family of cars, the S60 T6 R-Design sits at the top of the performance food chain-in other words, this is as hot as it gets. Even today, most people rarely think of Volvo’s as quick or entertaining cars, with safety being the first thing that comes to mind when Volvo is mentioned. But the truth is, Volvo has been dabbling with hot rod versions of their cars for years. As an awkward fifteen year old, I have fond memories of being catapulted down the scenic Merritt Parkway by my neighbo…

In review: 2013 Chrysler 200S
Chrysler hasn't historically been a major player in the midsize market, but the 200 – the replacement for the Sebring – was quite a step in the right direction.
It still isn't right at the top, but it's not a bad car at all, especially if you consider its price. Read more in my review at Sympatico Autos by clicking here.

Capsule Review – 1999 Land Rover Discovery Series II, AKA – The Great Southwest Escape. Take Two
Yesterday, we witnessed Sandy being picked up by Mental Ward. Today, we follow both on the roadtrip through America. Will they make it?
Just east of Philly, it had started snowing pretty well. During the first (of many) fuel stops, I pulled the light covers. At speed, the lights off the snowflakes resembled the cockpit view of the Millennium Falcon making the jump to light speed. It was simply awesome. Snow? HA! Disco Sandy positively yawned at the attempt and sped through the Pennsylvania night.
