2010 Nissan 370Z Roadster - November 2009 Car of the Month

Posted by Mike Caudill on Monday, November 02, 2009 7:54 AM


Let’s get right to it!

No cruising down Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) comments with the sun basking in my face and my hair blowing in the wind. That would be the easy way to describe the 2010 Nissan 370Z Roadster. I think I have probably read that same story line before on just about every convertible to have ever hit the market. This one's going to be a little bit different. More...

2010 Mercedes-Benz E350 - October 2009 Car of the Month

Posted by Mike Caudill on Thursday, October 01, 2009 1:00 AM


The auto industry is full of great taglines. Whether it’s BMW’s The Ultimate Driving Machine, Mazda’s Zoom-Zoom or Chevrolet’s Like a Rock, a company’s tagline is the one catch phrase that is designed to resonate with consumers. In some cases, companies like Ford Motor Company have more than one tagline, from Built Ford Tough to Ford. Drive One. There are two that really stick out the most and they come from my childhood: Have you Driven a Ford Lately and Toyota’s Oh What a Feeling…(you can finish the rest).More...

2010 Ford Mustang GT Convertible - September 2009 Car of the Month

Posted by Mike Caudill on Monday, August 31, 2009 4:29 PM

The auto industry is full of symbolism, full of history and definitely has its share of iconic vehicles. However, there are very few movies that truly capture these slices of the American Auto Industry. Auto fiends like myself, have movies like Gone in 60 Seconds and its famed Eleanor to The Italian Job with the MINI Cooper. On any given Sunday (another great movie reference), you’ll see these types of movies running in living rooms and garages nationwide. Us car people like to see chase scenes that defy reality.

NADAguides.com Awards 2010 Kia Forte Car of the Month for August

Posted by Mike Caudill on Friday, August 14, 2009 2:31 PM


In the compact car market, competition is stiff, and contenders are plentiful. When thinking of a high-performance sedan with both style and value, it’s a challenge to narrow it down to just one top pick. After driving the 2010 Kia Forte, it’s clear to see that this car is a worthy, if not surprising, choice for NADAguides.com “Car of the Month” for August. Not many cars can boast a full package when it comes to design features, price, performance and fuel economy, but the Forte leaves a lasting impression with all that and more. More...

2009 Nissan Maxima

2009 Nissan Maxima

The 2009 Nissan Maxima is a well-balanced, well-equipped and well, a great value for one of America’s favorite mid-size sedans. The Maxima won’t necessarily stand out in a crowd of cars, but that’s not the intention for the Maxima. The car was built to be driven - period. Not too hard and not too soft, this daily driver has enough room to comfortably seat four adults and enough horsepower to give it a slight air of sportiness. More...
