Yesterday a turkey arrived at the White House just so President Obama could issue a pardon, thus saving the turkey's life. As a result of hundreds of millions of dollars forked over to automakers since Thanksgiving '08, this Top 5 Turkey list is a lot different than it could have been. See, two years ago the Top 5 Turkey list here at GoodCarBadCar.net focused on a few specific vehicles while this year's list is brand-centred. Not only does this year's list revolve around five specific brands,... Read Full Story

Purists are those who urge or require strict correctness. Establishing correctness - and arguing with preconceived notions of correctness - is more challenging than actually urging or requiring said correctness. Interestingly, Ferrari purists are more than likely not owners of current Ferraris. And even the purist Ferrari purist doesn't urge or require the sort of sportscar simplicity of say, a Lotus or even a Porsche purist. Nevertheless, coming from someone who lists the Ferrari 458 Italia ... Read Full Story

Five years ago, George W. Bush was President of the United States. Not everybody owned an iPod. People were finally realizing that wedding photography really ought to be done digitally. Crewe-based Bentley, a British subsidiary of Germany's Volkswagen, was only just breaking free of its traditionalist past with the Continental GT. General Motors was stuck in a rut. Porsche was making money hand over fist. Meanwhile Kia had been in Hyundai's hands for a while but was still a few years away fro... Read Full Story

In a fight to be seen as both eco-conscious and economically aware, automakers which traditionally sell cars priced in the stratosphere are bringing their badges down to our level.Aston Martin will be applying its grimacing grille to the front end of the Toyota iQ. They'll call it the Aston Martin Cygnet; they'll lux it up a fair bit; and they'll double the price. Ferrari, meanwhile, will stick its badges on the 695 Tributo Ferrari, a hopped-up version of the Fiat 500. At least the Fiat 500 6... Read Full Story

Well, whaddya think? Has BMW regained design supremacy in the crowded luxury sedan class with this, the 2011 BMW 5-Series? In Munich's nomenclature, this generation of 5s will be known as the F10. Currently ending its tenure is the controversially-designed but highly successful E60.

So is this new F10 5-Series actually a genuinely handsome automobile or are we simply tha... Read Full Story

Cadillac will not be long in following the '11 CTS Coupe with a CTS-V Coupe, fully equipped with 556 horsepower. That's good news for anybody interested in blowing the doors off a BMW M3 or Porsche Boxster. First, the CTS Coupe's angular styling will be the starting point for conversations relating to this new Caddy.Cadillac does not say the CTS Coupe completely lacks a B-pillar, only that there is an absence of conventional B-pillars. Removing door handles smooths out the flanks. The windshi... Read Full Story

The 137th edition of evo magazine arrived at GoodCarBadCar Towers yesterday, and to the surprise and delight of The Good Car Guy, somebody finally quit comparing the Porsche Panamera to the not-yet-released Aston Martin Rapide and compared it with its direct rivals. You can tell by the number of words in today's first sentence that, around here, assuming Porsche's competition is from the much more expensive 4-doors at Aston Martin and Lamborghini (Estoque), is near anathema. Regardless, a gen... Read Full Story
