The 2014 North American International Auto Show media days have ended. As Detroit recovers from the influx of over 5,000 journalists and Joe Biden, we sat down and talked through our opinions of the show. The resulting list, conceived at Olive Garden over endless salad and bread sticks, […]
Hours ago, we arrived in Detroit for the 2014 North American International Auto Show. Today’s ten-hour road trip covered over 600 miles and crossed four states. Buick was kind enough to provide a 2014 Verano Turbo for the trek. As we found out, the Verano turned out to […]
Two months after we climbed out of the 2013 Ford Fusion we found ourselves climbing into the 2013 Lincoln MKZ. This presented a conflict. Lincoln has been owned by Ford since 1922, that isn’t the problem. In a time when the Ford was making the most popular cars, […]
Standing on the roof of a parking garage in an icy wind is not a pleasant way to start your day. In the cold, looking over the Ford Fiesta ST and Subaru BRZ makes us question why we thought this was a good idea. On the surface, these […]
The Ford Fiesta is a brilliant little car. It’s the ideal mass market subcompact; well built, efficient, and enjoyable to drive. For an enthusiast, though, the Fiesta doesn’t stand out from the crowd. The hot hatchback market is full of cars that are more exciting to look at […]

Street, track. Luxury, sport, Plug-in hybrid, twin-turbo V8. These are the contradictions that Porsche wanted us to experience in the new 2014 Panamera. The car itself seems contradictory; an executive sedan that offers immense luxury, yet is capable of 0-60 in 3.6 seconds. Porsche was so confident in […]
There are a few cars that every enthusiast remembers in a rather special way. Your first car, for example, is unforgettable. But you also remember the car driven by the person that inspired your enthusiasm. I’ve wanted to drive the Nissan 370Z for a long time just for […]
Parked side-by-side for the first time, we began to get a feeling for what we were in for. BMW has been building the 3 Series sport sedan for nearly 40 years, and for nearly 40 years it has been the best. Challengers came with high hopes and left […]
Something amazing is happening in America. Both the take rates for manual transmissions and diesel powertrains are on the rise. Similarly, the sales of manual-equipped diesel-powered vehicles is also on the rise. We at Limited Slip Blog refer to that combo as “the Euro option” since this powertrain combination […]
