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.

Driving 2010 GMC Terrain. Really liked the Equinox I drove a few weeks ago (despite a couple pre-prod glitches). Like this one even more...

2010 Honda CR-V: Good News-More Power. Bad News-Still Not Enough. 0-to-60 in 10 seconds and no low-end torque. Even MPG isn't that great: 24

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.

This 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.

All five motorcycles started and ran great. The newest is a 20-year-old Honda, and the rest are OLDER Brit Bikes.

Ford GT Friday! Been waaay too long (at least 6 weeks I'd guess). But there's that whole absence/heart thing.
