It’s finally Friday, the perfect time to look back at our most popular Autoblog Canada highlights of the week in case you missed strange sights like an escaped ostrich running through rush hour traffic, Justin Bieber’s hideous leopard print Audi R8, and a stunt rider who crashes into a cop car. …
The Latest Eco-Luxury Contender
As a kid in the early 80’s, I was subjected to having a couple diesel family cars when gasoline prices shot north. Sure it seems like acceptable mainstream now but when you’re at the peer pressure age, you probably didn’t want to be seen in a brown diesel …
Refreshed, Not Refreshing
I’m probably ill-suited to accurately and fairly take the full measure of a vehicle like the 2013 GMC Acadia Denali. This is a machine conjured around the express notion of corralling and then herding a brood of rafter-swinging hatchlings to and fro in relative …
