Overview: This week we’re looking at the 2008 Honda Element 5-Door 2WD SC. I asked Ilona (sig other) why she wanted such an ugly car. “I think they’re cute and I like the look”. OK! And isn’t that the way it should be. If we didn’t have different needs and wants...

Overview: This week we’re looking at the 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4WD LTZ Crew Cab with a 6 foot 6 inch bed. A longer 8 foot bed is available. I’m critical about a lot of things including the cars that are being produced for our consumption. I like testing them and trying...

Overview: This week we’re looking at the 2008 Honda Ridgeline 4-Door. I was able to put about 1,000 miles on the truck because of a wedding I needed to attend. 4 people, luggage for a week and a walker for grandma with space to spare. I couldn’t have been more impressed....

2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee (676)

31-10-2007Autolove No comments

Overview: This week I drove the 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee. What a nice SUV. Some folks including my friend Norman would disagree. Norm had a lemon, I'm convinced of it, because I have driven many Jeeps – years and models and never had the problems Norm had. Several transmissions and other...

Overview: This week we’re looking at the 2009 Chrysler Aspen Limited HEV (Hybrid Electric Vehicle) 4X4 SUV. And an interesting one it is. It is about time we’ve begun to move more to hybrid for the SUVs we love so much. Of course it helps to justify ownership of this platform...

03-10-2007Autolove No comments

Overview: This week we’re looking at the 2008 Chrysler Town & Country 2 WD and although outwardly you won’t see much difference in design it is the optional configurations that will strike you as it did me. Innovation which has been the rule rather than the exception from Chrysler products is...
