Ontario town welcomes Low Speed Vehicles to its streets

Forget all the noise (or silence) about a Porsche Taycan Turbo S that goes from zero to 100 km/h in 2.6 seconds; what we really need, according to two retired Grand Bend, Ontario businessmen Don Liley and Dave Marr, is more LSVs – that’s low speed vehicles, for the uninitiated. The electric carts are manufactured in British Columbia, and the duo decided their community would be a perfect playground for the all-electric buggies – if they could...

Matchbox is introducing more environmentally friendly toy cars

What is the footprint of a toy car? Not much, you might think, and you’d be right on an individual level, but when you’re selling tens of thousands of tiny machines, the environmental cost of manufacturing tends to add up. Happily, Matchbox has a solution, and a plan. Starting in 2022, the company is launching a scale-size version of a Tesla Roadster which is made of 99-per-cent recycled materials, and is certified as completely carbon-neutral....

Lincoln Zephyr Reflection Concept stuns in Shanghai with new take on styling

Lincoln mid-April took the covers off of a stunning concept vehicle at the Shanghai auto salon, featuring a throwback name but throw-forward styling. It’s called the Zephyr Reflection, and it uses Lincoln’s current “Quiet Flight” design language to envision a svelte and sexy sedan that is unexpected from the brand. Shaved door handles and an aggressive front fascia makes this a properly modern take on an old-fashioned brand. There’s also an LED...

First Look: Audi A6 e-tron Sportback concept

If anyone thought Audi’s ambitious plan of ‘going electric’ was just more of the green hyperbole we’re wading through these days, the last month or so should erase any doubt. First it was the debut of the 2022 e-tron GT and RS e-tron GT , followed last week by the reveal of the 2022 Q4 e-tron and Q4 Sportback e-tron , and today at the 2021 Shanghai auto show, Audi presented an e-tron concept that is the first to use the automaker’s all-new...

Volkswagen’s ID.6 EV is an electric crossover with seating for up to 7

The VW ID.6 and VW ID.6 Crozz EV were unveiled mid-April at the 2021 Shanghai auto show, marking the first Volkswagen models designed specifically for that market and that market alone. The EV features a long wheelbase and a panoramic glass roof, with technologies also specific to the Chinese market. VW has already got a pretty wide range of EVs, but the ID.6 , based on the I.D. Roomzz, fills the niche of a three-row electric crossover SUV that...

Barn Find: 1969 Dodge Daytona

The next time you pass an old Quonset hut, you might want to peek inside. For thirty years between 1975 and 2005, in an ominous-looking white Quonset hut near Louisville, Kentucky, a red-on-white 1969 Dodge Daytona slept inside, quietly out of view. Two brothers with a bad reputation had stashed the rare winged machine away

Regina nurse seeks parking relief during pandemic

While the city is under siege by a deadly virus, the last thing nurse Chantelle Dolney wants to think about is parking. Still, if her car sits in the same spot for more than two hours on one of the streets surrounding the Regina General Hospital (RGH), she may find she’s been given a ticket for her trouble. “Sometimes at that two-hour mark, when I’m supposed to be down moving my car, I could be in a COVID room, completely gowned up, sitting next...

Owner Review: 2018 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid SE

In 2016 when Grant and Kim Massie were shopping for a vehicle to replace Kim’s beloved 2003 Chrysler Pacifica, they tested a Nissan Juke and a Toyota RAV4. While the RAV4 was appreciated, the Juke’s unique styling held Kim captivated. The Calgarians bought the Juke, but after driving the vehicle some three years, Kim ultimately found it too small for her needs. Plus, she just wasn’t cozy in the driver’s seat.

The famous “22B” STi is the most desirable Subaru ever built, its clout gained from winning the World Rally Championship in its day. While it may not have quite the same fame as the Lancia Stratos or the Audi Quattro, the Subaru 22B is a rally vehicle...

UBC student gets 'go home' note and keyed car over Ontario plates

But somebody did it to Brynn Weigelt, a BC resident and student at the University of British Columbia – just because her car had Ontario licence plates. Her high from a...

243 km/h on the Coquihalla Holler? Slow the hell down

Wheeeee! If you’ve driven on the mighty Coquihalla in British Columbia, you know that parts of it are like a fabulous roller coaster. The surrounding views are spectacular; the road is a beaut, Clark, to paraphrase an old movie. It also sports the highest speed limit in the country – it was raised to 120 km/h in some parts in 2014. Even that, however, wasn’t enough for a speed-loving Corvette owner. According to the Merritt Herald , on Saturday,...

Road Trip: 2021 Toyota RAV4 TRD to Ball's Falls

Looking at the 2021 Toyota RAV4 TRD Off-Road in my driveway, it just screams adventure. Resplendent in a trendy non-metallic grey-ish hue dubbed ‘Moon Rock,’ this most rugged of RAV4s plays the part with plastic fender flares, blacked-out grill, matt-black wheels and knobby all-terrain tires. With 8.6-inches of ground clearance the TRD Off-Road rides higher than the lesser models, and keeping those wheels doing their job in the rough stuff is...

Both add big gumball tires, stiffer suspension and, truth be...
