The transformation from the previous generation to the all-new 2015 Hyundai Genesis is eye opening. Exactly a year ago, I had just completed a week in the 2013 Hyundai Genesis R-Spec. That Genesis, the first generation, was awash in luxury features but didn’t quite live up to the […]
Dr. Jekyll: a respectable and well-established man known for his good intentions. Mr. Hyde: a repugnant and secluded man with violent tendencies. Simultaneously the same being, Jekyll and Hyde differ in appearance, action, and character. This might not appear to be an equitable comparison. Just as it was […]
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, […]
Everyone knows the Toyota Avalon as the flagship for Toyota. Last spring, Toyota unveiled an entirely redesigned Avalon. The new design also came with the addition of a hybrid model, and that is the one we have here. We were interested to see how Toyota applied their mastery […]

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 […]
Each year, we attend the Gold Coast Concours/Bimmerstock. Some readers might remember that we brought the Mini Cooper S Roadster to the show last year. This year, we brought a pair of BMW 3 Series to the show. It’s really two car shows in one; large enough to […]
This Labor Day, we brought the Porsche Cayman S and the Scion FR-S together. Our 700 mile trip to the New Hampshire coastline was a chance to examine both vehicles. Obviously, it wouldn’t be right to compare the two. At one end, the FR-S starts under $25,000. On the other, […]
Something very good happened at Lexus in 2008. They found the letter F. Gone is the soft and uninteresting Lexus of old; now we have a sleeker, sharper, and sportier Lexus. There is no better evidence of that change than the IS-F. The introduction of a sports sedan […]
