Tweets on Cars: Say what you will...

Say what you will about the bailouts, but it's clear GM really is at a turning point. Would have been a bummer if they'd died last winter.

Home in the 2010 Honda CR-V. It sports 10 additional horsepower this year people, so that V6 RAV4 better... Ah, the RAV will still stomp it.

Talk Back Tuesday: Cars I Really Want to Hate...But Can't

Crosstour.jpgThis list isn't very long, but it's getting longer every year.

The first vehicle to earn the distinction of "Cars I Want to Hate...But Can't" was the BMW X5, and I still consider it the poster child for this category.

Why would I want to hate the BMW X5? Because it was slower, heavier, bulkier, thirstier, costlier and less space efficient than a BMW 5 Series wagon when it debuted in the late 1990s. The car made no logical sense on any rational level.

Getting close to time-travel time for us West Coasters. If I had a DeLorean I would take it out and go 88 mph at exactly 2 am.
