We don’t do boring cars around here. It’s just the rule. Why, then, are you staring at a Chevrolet Traverse, you ask? The rig’s a crossover, you say – the very definition of boring. These days “crossover” has come to stand for the same family-driving hell once embodied by the SUV, the minivan and long, [...]
While considered a ’shocking’ design in its day, the VehiCROSS has aged fairly well in the ten years since it was designed. Okay, I admit that the face of the car is still busted. But I like it, and like the Axiom also featured today, the crossover concept was ahead of its time. The VehiCROSS [...]
We’ve got an awesome tech-guy for a number of reasons. Not only is Bernie good at his job (hastily sent “fix it now!” IMs are usually resolved within minutes) and a great guy, but he’s quite the car geek. Evidence of the latter is clearly seen above and in the gallery below. Bernie snapped these [...]
I’m tripping balls! Ahem. It’s coming, folks, and there’s not a damn thing we can do to stop it. Its MINI’s new crossover, officially unveiled at this year’s Paris Motor Show, and it looks like the over-grown Cooper is headed straight to production. Motor Authority was able to pull down a few shots of a [...]
Thank heavens for camera phones. Levy was having breakfast near Sunset Plaza this morning when this blue, test-equipment laden Toyota interupted his coffee and danish egg white omelette and fruit plate. You’d actually be surprised how many cars with doodads and weird little baubles plastered all over the place roll around the Hollywood area. Answer is: [...]
Check out this reworked version of the MINI. It’s supposed to combine all the trend-setting glory of the MINI with the functionality of a crossover — whatever that means. The thing is about 13 feet long, has four doors, sits way off the ground and is all-wheel drive. It’s as bout as far from the [...]
Crossovers aren’t really our thing. The half-car/half SUV mutants tend to be about as Fiendish as another failed amalgamation—the spork. Still, there’s something about BMW’s X6 that rubs our motoring spine the right way. The looks are all business with that super-sweet rake to the back glass, and according to these sneaky shots swiped by [...]
Audi just released official details and pictures from the latest in its continuing campaign for a premium vehicle for every product segment with the soon-to-come here, medium sized SUV Q5. According to Audi, the Q5 is a new kind of SUV: it combines the dynamism of a sports sedan with an impressively versatile interior and [...]
Yes friends, it’s time for another one of our left-field comparos. However, just like last time these two contenders match up quite well in certain respects. Both vehicles are top-spec, 5-passenger unit-body SUVs. Both feature all-wheel drive. The Murano has a one inch shorter wheelbase. The Touareg is one inch shorter overall. Both are 68 [...]
High Tech High Style Crossover
Infiniti fuses the coupe and sport utility vehicle with this compact luxury crossover and does it with style. The chocolate brown leather in our tester made us feel like we were rolling in a Bentley, and the navigation equipped sound system is ear bleedingly loud. Essentially a sculpted and raised wagon [...]
