2009 Jaguar XF

Jaguar is a dying brand, and no one can reasonably argue that statement. Sales fall year after year, and the loss widens as time goes on. Something has to be done, and since apparently Ford isn’t interested in selling the marque, new models would seem to be the way to go. Meet the 2009 XF [...]

2008 Honda Accord Review – Cars.com

Cars.com reviews the 2008 Honda Accord and walks away impressed – ‘Honda’s tag line for the Accord during its media introduction was “The Benchmark. The Standard.

Hyundai Genesis V8 – 380 HP ?

Word on the street ( the street being a car discussion forum ) is that the new Hyundai 4.6 liter V8 that will power the Genesis will be no slouch in the power department. In fact, an as-yet unconfirmed inside source is talking about 380 HP – that’s a three hundred and eighty horsepower Hyundai. [...]
