STUTTGART, Germany — You know you’re a car nerd when you park in the underground at the Germany Porsche Museum and it takes you over 30 minutes to get upstairs. A storage section in the parkade was open, so my two companions and I spent over half an hour ogling the rare eye candy on public display, among them Porsche Martini Racing 930s, air-cooled 911s and even an old 944 Turbo. We hadn’t even made it upstairs and we were already running around like giddy school boys.
We are t

General Motors has taken the wraps off the next-generation Buick Regal. Well, kind of …
As you know, the entry-level luxury sedan we call the Buick Regal is essentially a rebadged Opel Insignia. Now that Opel has taken the wraps off its next-generation Insignia in Europe – it’s also headed to Australia as the 2018 Holden Commodore – we have a pretty clear idea of what to expect from the 2018 Regal. And it’s very promising.
First and foremost, the 2018 Insignia is l

Dodge is adding another trick up the Challenger‘s sleeve for 2017 – all-weather traction.
The good news? This means you can enjoy muscle car thrills year-round. The bad news? All-wheel-drive is only available with the base 3.6-litre Pentastar V6 and eight-speed automatic transmission combination. Nope, the Hemi V8 engine remains exclusively rear-drive.
It probably won’t light a fire in your belly and make noises as lovely as the Challenger SRT does, but with 305 horsepower and

Did you know that, here in Canada, the top three best-selling vehicles are all pickup trucks? The Ford F-150, the General Motors combination of the Silverado and Sierra, then the Ram 1500. And the fourth top-selling vehicle? At the end of this year, the Honda Civic will have held the crown of the best-selling car in Canada for 19 years running. Quite a feat; it really shows how Canadians value both practicality and utility. 
If your driveway is a little small for the behemoth truc

Borrego Springs, CALIF. — It’s the sound. Not thunderous or deep like the gathering storm of a V8, the exhaust from Ford‘s 2017 F-150 Raptor is nevertheless gnarly, throaty — a bit high pitched, perhaps — but compelling all the same. How could it not be? This is Ford’s baddest, meanest, fastest pickup truck – a falcon in F-150 clothing.
The long-awaited replacement for the off-road icon produced between 2010 and 2014, the new Raptor is finally among us,

I own a couple of 1940s vehicles, and whenever I take one anywhere, I guarantee someone will come up, rap on the heavy fender, and say approvingly, “They don’t make ’em like that anymore.”
And I always reply, “Don’t ever think that’s a bad thing.” A lot of people think new cars are flimsy because they crumple in a crash, but they’re meant to do that, and it can help save your life. And it’s thanks to a Mercedes-Benz engineer who patente

Aviva Canada, one of the country’s largest insurance providers, recently tossed down a gauntlet: purchase a car with automatic emergency braking (AEB), get a 15 per cent cut in your premium rate.
There are only a couple of small print considerations. It’s not applied to your comprehensive or specified perils portion included in your premium, but that’s usually a smallish fraction of the total. If you’re an existing client and you go purchase a new Toyota – and
