A couple of weeks ago a chatter asked about the redesign of the Hyundai Azera for 2018 because they loved the car and would be interested in purchasing one. I just got word from Hyundai that, "There won't be a 2018 model Azera. We didn't have enough fans like this one." Do you watch racing? [...]
Good Morning Warren and Friends, This week was a bit longer than most. I thought I was getting out of the California heat by going to Austria and Germany, only to find myself in 95 degrees and humidity (something you DCers know all too well; humidity). Heat exhaustion is a real thing; make sure your [...]
Good Morning Warren and Friends, Say Congratulations to Warren Brown of the Washington Post! I am in Washington DC today. I flew in last night to celebrate a very special day with Warren; yes our Warren. Yesterday was Warren Brown Day in the District of Columbia as proclaimed by the D. C. Government. It was [...]
Good Morning Warren and Friends, I'm back in the United States of America! Did I miss anything? The last of my month-long European trip was spent in Barcelona, Spain driving the new 2018 Volvo XC 60. A great two-row SUV that handles nicely looks spectacular and has a plug-in hybrid coming out in September. Last [...]
Car manufacturers are listening to you and have created the compact SUV. I call it the AGSUV - active grandparents SUV. Grandparents are around sixty years old, almost at retirement, while their kids are in full tilt with their kids and all of their stuff. Grandparents take their grandkids in their cars, and they buy [...]
Good Morning Warren and Friends, Congratulations Chevy Bolt! NACTOY's Car of the Year to an electric car that gets 238 driving range. Another great week! The Detroit Auto show was packed with news. It was overshadowed by auto industry news (aka Trump and Volkswagen), but it's not the first autoshow that we've had to weed [...]
Good Morning Warren and Friends, From CA to CA - from California to Canada. I am at the Westin Harbour in Toronto Canada covering the Natural Ultimate Fitness Event. I am trying to get healthy, and while I don't want to be as assiduous as the contestants, I like the idea of working out, no [...]
Good Morning Warren and Friends, It's raining in Northern California, the first rain of the year. The oils will come up on the road, and there will be more accidents because people don't slow down in the rain and snow. At home this week I drove the 2017 Jaguar XE 35t First Edition AWD Sedan [...]
Good Morning Warren and Friends, We're flying solo, today folks. My good buddy, and yours, Warren, is on hiatus. He and my girlfriend, Mary Anne, aka Mrs. Brown, are in the throes of packing, moving and unpacking. The good news is that Stretch and I now have our own room in their new house. I'm [...]
Good Morning Warren and Friends, Twelve-year-old Cameron came to visit me this week. Like most young boys, Cameron doesn't speak much unless you ask them a direct question, or you want to talk about cars. Cameron didn't like the look of the Honda Ridgeline. I queried him because that is a powerful statement for a [...]
