Contributing editor Joe Tralongo and I spent a few days in a 2008 GMC Yukon Hybrid in and around New York City. This is our inaugural video review so it is a little rough around the edges.
A recap is after the video.
I trust I didn't put you to sleep with my diatribe at the end of the video. We'll improve with practice but despite the quality of the video and the editing, I hope that our impressions of the vehicle were communicated.
The GMC Yukon Hybrid is high... Read Full Story

Tiger+Iguana = What??
by Joe LaMuraglia
I'm in stunning Boulder, CO as a guest of Volkswagen to drive the 2009 VW Tiguan. "Tiguwhat?" you might be saying to yourself. Don't worry, you'll get used to the name. The Tiguan is the first compact SUV from VW to hit our shores and they are promising that it is "the GTI of Crossovers". With a 200 HP 2-liter turbo engine and an available 6-speed manual in the base trim level, it seems to have the prerequisites. The question is, has VW been able... Read Full Story

Get into their tops for less than you think.

You might assume that convertibles will chomp a huge chunk from your wallet, but it doesn’t have to be that way. There are a handful of snappy, great-looking, and entertaining convertibles that you can buy for less than $30,000. Even better -- most of them will get more than 20 miles per gallon on the highway, making that long-distance cruise even more affordable.
Gaywheels.com has our favorite convertibles under $30,000, all... Read Full Story

So you want to go green but don’t have a lot of green? If you’re like me, you’re conscious of the environment but you don’t have $40,000 to put towards solar panels on the roof of your house. My budget is closer to that of solar garden lights but I still want to do my part. I also need the room that an SUV provides but hate the guilt that comes with getting 15 miles to the gallon.
The Saturn Vue Hybrid just might be the perfect answer for the eco- savvy consumer who... Read Full Story

Short of actually being on the old Dinah Shore show, with Dinah Shore herself, could there be anything like arriving at Dinah Shore Weekend in a $92,000 car?
How about a $92,035 car, to be exact?
Not only did I feel like royalty heading out to Palm Springs, to take part in this year’s fashion show and Logo festivities—I looked liked some titled Brit behind the wheel of the Jaguar XKR convertible.
The drive from Los Angeles to Palm Springs is 2 hours of flat, straight... Read Full Story

Hybrid SUV buyers have stolen the title “limeys” from the British. These buyers are green enough to want to a hybrid vehicle, but not so green that they’re ready (or maybe able) to give up driving SUVs, hence their environmental creds are more a lime green than a deep, Ralph-Laureny green.
Among the hybrid SUVs, the fully redesigned Toyota Highlander Hybrid is certainly the brightest lime of the bunch. And you would expect nothing less of a vehicle from Toyota, whose hybrid... Read Full Story

Vehicular Version of Sensible Shoes
By Joe Tralongo
Break out your sensible shoes, girls: the age of wretched excess is coming to an end.
Look up there -- gas prices are up there to stay. Down at your feet? That’s the value of a buck for a long time to come. Bigger isn’t better anymore. Downsizing is the new black.
Depressing, right? Not so much. Instead of the crusty SUV that suddenly is as out of fashion as a random Kardashian, there’s a sensible alternative that’s new in 2009, and... Read Full Story

With gas prices rising and oil supplies dwindling, automakers are hard at work on “green” cars, most of which promise guilt-free driving in the form of emissions-free vehicles. But what about vehicles that you can buy now that leave less of a mess behind? Here are five cars on the market that will have a lower impact on the environment as well as on your wallet.
