Do You Know What Kind Of Car Fuel Efficiency You're Getting?
By Ian Henman

Forget about the old days when getting gas for your car was no problem at all. Lousy eight cylinder limos were the craze, no matter what big gas guzzlers these monsters were.

Review: Buick Park Avenue Ultra
The Car Connection's review of the 2004 Buick Park Avenue Ultra is surprisingly positive and, even more surprisingly, not at all sarcastic. I think reviewer Jill Amadio didn't read her contract where it mentions 10% of the review must bust...
Hang in there minivan, you can do it!
The biggest obstacle facing the minivan today is purely emotional. Everyone knows minivans are capable of hauling family and goods safely, reliably and comfortably. They even do it more responsibly because they use less fuel than SUVs. And today's minivans...
