Saab dealers in Canada live to sell another car

Nov 21, 2009

For the Saab dealers left still holding their ground in Canada, persistance has finally paid off. Ever since GM abandoned them at the side of the road, questions have been floating around, no one knowing for sure what their fate as a Saab dealer would be. Now, a deal has been announced with International Fleet Sales Inc., a distributor from San Leandro, California to import Saab vehicles into Canada.

Honda Canada announces Crosstour pricing

Nov 20, 2009

Honda Canada has announced pricing for the 2010 Honda ~~whatchamacallit~~ Crosstour. Honda's dancing to the beat of their own drummer by only offering the Crosstour with their 271hp 3.5L V6 engine, with two wheel or all-wheel drive. This is a risky strategy considering the Subaru Outback and Toyota Venza have 4-cylinders available for those looking to maximize mileage.

All Crosstour models will be very well equipped, with a leather interior, premium audio system with XM Satellite Radio, 18-inch aluminum wheels and much more. The only option (other than AWD) is a navigation system.

With that in mind what do you think pricing will start at? See the answer and press release after the jump.

IIHS announces 2010 top safety picks

Nov 18, 2009

Nineteen cars and 8 SUVs have earned the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's Top Safety Pick award for 2010 and for the first time, good performance in a roof strength test to measure protection in a rollover is required to win.

The Top Safety Pick recognizes vehicles that do the best job of protecting people in front, side, rear, and now rollover crashes based on good ratings in Institute tests. Winners also must have electronic stability control, which research shows significantly reduces crash risk.

Subaru is the only manufacturer with a winner in all 4 vehicle classes in which it competes. This automaker earned 5 awards for 2010. Ford and subsidiary Volvo have 6 winners, and Volkswagen/Audi had 5. Chrysler earns 4 awards, continuing a recent trend of improving the crashworthiness of its vehicles. Two new small cars, the Nissan Cube and Kia Soul, join the Top Safety Pick list for 2010.

For a complete list of the 27 winners follow the jump.

Ford has some extra bounce in their step today

Nov 18, 2009

If you looked around the halls of the FoMoCo offices today, you'd probably see a few more smiles on executives' faces than usual, and if you listened carefully, I'll bet you might even catch one or two of them whistling as they went out for lunch. You know why? Ford's had a good day yesterday.

Series 14: Clarkson, Hammond and May back at it

Nov 16, 2009

After what seemed like forever (four months), Jeremy Clarkson and company are back for another round of the best entertainment on television; Top Gear.

The first episode of series 14 aired yesterday and kicked off with the trio absconding to Romania with a trio of topless supercars. Jeremy Clarkson chose the Aston Martin DBS Volante (obviously), Richard Hammond drove the new Ferrari California, and Captain Slow didn't choose anything either a) boring b) 4-door or c) slow.

Check out a video clip of their (mis)adventures after the break.

No manual transmission for Canadian-spec Suzuki Kizashi

Nov 16, 2009

As we wrote a few weeks ago, the all-new Suzuki Kizashi has been impressing automotive journalists across North America. Some have compared it to the more expensive Acura TSX.

Part of the fun was the availability of a six-speed manual transmission but unfortunately that tranny won't be coming to Canada.
