Jamie Hunter
25-06-2008
For a vehicle named after one of the most well-known off-road trails in North America, it's a shame I didn't have the opportunity to cake the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon with mud, climb toppled logs or scale steep inclines during my test drive....

2008 Volkswagen Touareg: The sequel
Jamie Hunter
25-06-2008
Let’s face it: a film’s sequel rarely meets – let alone exceeds – the expectations of moviegoers. Nine times out of 10, you leave the theatre wishing you could have the $12 you forked over for the ticket back in your pocket. If you ask me, outside...

Fit but you know it: 2008 Honda Fit
Jamie Hunter
12-06-2008
The Honda Fit couldn’t have been blessed with a better name. It "fits" everywhere (parking spots, garages, driveways) and you can "fit" anything inside the little five-door hatch, making it a perfect urban commuter.

Straight off the line goodness: 2008 Toyota Highlander
Jamie Hunter
20-05-2008
The new, redesigned 2008 Toyota Highlander is the first vehicle I’ve tested in a long time that didn’t feel like it needed any optional bells and whistles. If I didn’t have a lick of musical taste, I probably would’ve belted out Billy Joel’s 1977...

Jamie Hunter & Mark Hacking
12-05-2008

Jamie Hunter

Fix Or Repair Daily. First On Recall Day. Four Old Rusted Doors…you’ve heard them all before. Any way you look at it, the Ford name sure has taken the brunt of cruel acronyms over the years. But if the 2008 Ford Fusion is any indication, those...

EX35 sparks internal techno-debate
Mark Hacking
05-05-2008
The 2008 Infiniti EX35 freaks me right out, man.
It’s not the styling of this low-slung crossover that has me so frazzled. It’s not the handling prowess generated by the four-wheel independent suspension and all-wheel drive system. It’s...

Last weekend, as I was pulling off the QEW into St. Catharines, a fairly burly guy on a motorcycle kept a steady distance of about two metres from my back bumper. I could smell his breath from my driver’s seat – he was that close. He was quite...
