Using $20,000 as a price cap, the boss asked for a list of road-trip ready rides worthy of tackling the ne

I’ve visited a whackload of family sedans in the past year or so, driving each for no fewer than seven days and 1,200 kilometers. Great stuff, today’s family sedan offerings. Even average attainably-priced models now pack features and tech once reserved for six-figure flagships being driven by business executives, or serious-looking dudes with R

You’ve decided to buy a performance car but you don’t want to look like you just drove off the set of The Fast and the Furious . Fair enough. Not everybody wants that kind of attention. But what can you buy for under $10K that drives like a sports car but looks like a family hauler? Here are ten performance cars that disguise their true performanc

Much to the delight of the kids – and the kids at heart – all over, Disney has decided to go back to the drawing board with its hit machine franchise, Cars . But then, it’s never really gone away, has it? Sure, we haven’t seen an entry in the series since 2011’s Cars 2 , and it didn’t get quite the same critical reception as the first movie. O

General Motors is stretching a production cutback at its Oshawa, Ontario factory until springtime, according to a memo distributed to Unifor union members who work at the plant.

Your writer has spent countless hours on the open road, with no less than eight hours and 800 kilometres on the highways between Central and Northern Ontario, weekly, and for years. As part of this ongoing process, I’ve come to accumulate a list of favourite highway cruisers: sedans that excel at delivering long-haul comfort, and are highly suitabl

We'll be shoutin' "hooray" up Canada way when the great parade goes by. With apologies to the late Stompin' Tom Connors, it's almost Canada Day and w
