Uh-oh, this Nissan GT-R I'm driving wants an oil filter. I think run about $157 for this car. Link

Heading to Hollywood Palladium for a look at the 2011 Opel Insignia (aka Buick Regal). Driving over in a 2010 Nissan GT-R. Insert joke here.

Just drove the Campagna T-Rex. To quote Tom Hanks in the movie "Big" -- I don't get it. I'd rather save $40,000 and just get a Hayabusa.

Acura ZDX still suffers from typical Honda "button overload" in center stack, yet the design/layout does look good. Link

New 2010 Acura ZDX waiting to take me home. Just got full walkaround and, like Crosstour, it's much more appealing in person. Great interior

Talk Back Tuesday: Is GM Actually Going to Pull Off a Successful Turnaround?

2010 GMC Terrain.jpg Let me make one thing clear in the second sentence of this column. I am not saying GM has already pulled off a successful turnaround.

But events of the last few weeks have established a momumental realization (at least for me): I think it's possible GM might actually pull off a successful turnaround. You know what they say, 12th time's the charm.

Just finished tomorrow's editorial column on GM's Turnaround progress (should surprise a few). Now I'm ready for some football! Go Donkeys!

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.

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...

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.
