2009 Infiniti FX

This article is only available in french. Avouons-le, l’acheteur d’un tel véhicule n’en fait pas l’acquisition pour ses qualités dynamiques, pour le confort ou le luxe qu’il procure. Il y a de ça, certes, mais c’est avant tout une question de style. On souhaite faire tourner les têtes et se faire voir au volant [...]

Buick Invicta

A new Buick concept has hit the auto show circuit, and despite a name that means ‘invincible’ in Latin, this midsize sedan looks to be more about luxury and pampering. The Invicta - a nameplate that Buick began using in 1959 - draws inspiration from the Riviera and Velite concepts, featuring short overhangs with wheels pushed [...]

Riots break out after Habs win

Note: This isn’t an article related to car enthusiasts but from time to time I’d like to offer my opinion on the happenings in and around the city. As you are probably well aware, last night the Montreal Canadiens defeated the Boston Bruins 5-0 in game 7 of the Eastern conference quarter-finals. After the game, fans [...]

Audi Q5

This article is only available in french. La catégorie des VUS compact de luxe est en plein effervescence. Les BMW X3 et Land Rover Freelander ont fait cavalier seul pendant quelques dans ce segment, mais l’arrivée récente de véhicules comme l’Acura RDX et l’Infiniti EX est venue changer les choses.

Hyundai Accent 2008, à la Brault & Martineau!

This article is only available in french. Ces temps-ci, on parle beaucoup de la promotion du géant coréen qui affiche le prix de vente de l’Accent à 9 995$. Permettez-moi donc, avant d’aller plus loin, de faire la lumière sur ce rabais de 3 600$. D’abord, la voiture coûte 9 995$ + 1 345$ (transport [...]

The Lexus that IS more sport than luxury

When we look back on 2008 and consider the best automotive value in Canada, some may look at the Hyundai Accent L and its dirt-cheap $9,995 MSRP, or on the opposite end of the scale, the Lexus LX570, a new model that went down in price by almost $17,000. But whereas you won’t have so much [...]

Audi A5/S5 Return of the coupe

Looks like Audi is coming of age and is finally on par with its German rivals. After revamping its whole line of base models, Audi is now focussing its energy on more specialized models. While these don’t exactly bring in a lot of money, they do a lot for the company’s image, proving that it [...]

Salon National

The automotive season began this weekend in St. Hyacinthe where, for the 11th year in a row, the salon Nationale de l’Auto sport opened its doors to the ever-eager public. Known as the only show that truly showcases the complete world of cars and motor sports, this show features everything from hardcore muscle cars to [...]

TL’s still in the running

Take a snapshot of the entry-level sports sedan market. There is the crushingly competent BMW 3 Series, the lively Lexus IS, the sexy new Infiniti G35, the weird-looking but widely praised new Mercedes C-Class and a totally new Audi A4 is less than a year away, so it is a good thing the Acura TL [...]

C-Class sedan transcends luxury and sport

There’s something about a Mercedes-Benz that transcends the segments in which it’s marketed. Yes, Mercedes vehicles are probably more expensive than warranted by the quality of their build, their top-notch performance and the company’s almost symbiotic historic existence with the auto industry. But they just feel … special. From the lowliest B-Class (if you can apply that [...]
