Our autoTRADER.ca Find of the Week this week is ready to put you on the prowl on Main street and at car shows this summer. It's the first factory hot rod. A car that will turn heads faster than any exotic supercar. It's a 1999 Plymouth Prowler. In the early 1990s, Plymouth was coming down from the K-car high that was being shared by the Chrysler

Article and photography by Mark Stevenson When I was a kid, I relished the opportunity to come to the city and visit Toys "R" Us. Seeing all the new R/C cars was my first mission, followed by a walk (okay, a sprint) to the aisle of Hot Wheels. But, as I grew up and earned a driver's license, my desires turned toward a different kind of fun.

With Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) announcing the death of the Dodge Grand Caravan late last week, we set out to find a classic version of that people mover to showcase this week. It seems that the first generations of Magicwagon are criminally underappreciated, meaning that we couldn't find one worthy of the Find of the Week. But we did find t

Late last week, Ford announced that production of the Taurus had ended – for the second and likely final time. So in tribute to that ubiquitous of family sedans, we've found something special: one of the sleeper Taurus models that trickled out over the years. The autoTRADER.ca Find of the Week this week is a V8-powered 1999 Ford Taurus SHO. The

This week, we've found one of the most stylish modern Ferraris. It's a car that filled a nearly 25-year hole in the prancing horse lineup. It's also a car that's surprisingly affordable, at least by V12 Ferrari standards. The autoTRADER.ca Find of the Week is this 1999 Ferrari 550 Maranello. And surprise — it's not red! When Ferrari replaced the

It might be the ultimate sport compact Honda. This is the one. The raw, stripped out track machine of legend. When a company sets out to design a fast front-drive hatch this is the benchmark. It's one of the legends, and it was never officially brought to North America. It's a Honda Civic Type R. The first Civic to get the Type R badge. And it's ou

Vehicle Type Performance Coupe History/Description The NSX wasn’t a car anyone bought to have the fastest supercar on their block. Launched 1990 and battling the likes the Porsche 911, Ferrari 355, Dodge Viper, Lotus Esprit and Chevrolet Corvette in its lifetime, all models got a VTEC V6 engine smack in the middle, making between 250 and 3

Ron James is a standout amongst comedy standups thanks to his razor sharp wit and trademark rapid-fire delivery. At 56, the award-winning comedian still tours across Canada, headlining shows at sold-out theatres from coast to coast. In the wintertime, James often drives to many of his gigs in his old, but reliable 1999 Toyota 4Runner . But in the

The Shelby Mustang GT350 is an impressive sports car. 526 hp, a flat plane crank, and ready for the track. But what it can't do is seat more than four people. Or haul much of their luggage. Our autoTRADER.ca Find of the Week this week is a Shelby that can haul. And not just on the drag strip. This one will haul seven people, luggage, and probably e

Welcome to Depreciation Appreciation! Every month, your pals at autoTRADER.ca dig up an instance of how depreciation can make for an extraordinary used-car deal. The Mercedes-Benz CL-Class: a rare and exclusive full-size grand tourer that’s been part of the scene for several decades and generations. The CL designation refers to “Coupe Luxury

Typically, auto shows are such a generic pastiche of throbbing music, pulsating lights, and painted-on smiles, that after a while, they all tend to blend together. Did the new NSX debut in L.A.? In Detroit? Last year or the year before? All of the above?  It's all segment-leading globalization this, and alternative sustainable autonomy that, and he

Just about anyone can name at least one electric car these days. People know Tesla, of course, or perhaps the Chevy Bolt or Nissan Leaf. But there was one just as famous back in its day, and mostly for the wrong reasons: the GM EV1. It was built to fulfill a government mandate, and while it wasn’t the only vehicle that was, it quickly became the

Originally published on Autos.ca on May 7, 2013 ( Best Used Convertible Buys ) Summer: the bugs are in the air, the temperature is climbing and the roads are finally free of salt, sand and other wintertime nastiness. This combination of stimuli inevitably prompts the brains of car lovers everywhere to start considering a new-to-them convertible

It’s 2016, and no year can begin without a few ‘best’ lists, so we looked back over our Finds of the Week to find which were the most popular, as well as our own personal favourites. Some we found surprising, unlikely heroes like the Subaru Sambar and a subtle yet gorgeous Alfa Romeo classic, while it's no surprise to see a Corvette, a GT-R, a La

It's best to think of the partnership of Elhart Melcher and Hans Werner Aufrecht as a sort of modern day equivalent of the medieval armourers of the past. They toiled in their workshop (first in Burgstall and der Murr, later in Affalterbach), creating wheeled dreadnoughts of fearsome power. These days, the Mercedes name is tied to AMG as if by m
