We decided to kick off our Exotic Car reviews with a good-ole American BANG! This is the most expensive and powerful Corvette ever made. The ZR1, with 638hp, a pointless window on the hood, and a serious attitude. This car deserved a great road so we headed to one of our very favorites in Ojai, [...]
Between the two seat sports car and the four seat sedan lives the 2+2 coupe. This designation is reserved for cars built with similar intentions as a traditional sports car (2 seats) but a nod to those who might need a little extra capacity (+2). In many cases the back seats are just props for [...]
Every now and then a car comes along which defies categorizing. The Nissan GT-R is one of these cars. Too inexpensive and attainable to be a super-exotic, but far too high-performance to be a car for the masses. And yet, here it is. More to the point, here we are with the keys in hand [...]
We love a good fast hatchback. These little cars set out to be all things to all people, with speed and genuine usable space. The VW GTI started the trend in the seventies, and nearly every brand has tried one since. For years Europe has loved them, and finally the U.S. market is starting to [...]

Now we’ve finally grabbed both the icons, found an amazing road, and pretended it was 1969. Except, in this era of MPG concerns, Hybrids, and alternative fuel, do these big V8 monsters still bring [...]
In Toyota’s quest for world-domination, the Lexus brand has become a huge badge and reputation for quiet and luxurious transportation. Yet, the IS series also strives to be a car for enthusiasts. Of course, that means competing in the crowded sports sedan segment. But the IS didn’t offer a convertible version until recently. And it [...]
Hyundai has long been the butt of jokes in the US car market. Their cars were known to be cheap in both price and feel. But change is upon us. Beginning with their aptly named “Genesis” platform, Hyundai has put their Japanese rivals on notice. The Sedan targets the best of Lexus, and this coupe [...]
Ever since Nissan’s 240Z, the “Z Cars” have been lust-worthy. And with the introduction of the 370Z, we knew it was worth gathering up the two prior generations and shooting an all-out comparison. So with a 370Z, a 350Z, and a Twin Turbo 300ZX we headed to some spectacular mountain roads to find which Z [...]
