Noise, Vibration, and Harshness: Rise and Fall of Consumer Finance
Rise and Fall of Consumer Finance - US Economy and Loans- Automobile Magazine
Lease me to the moon: The rise and fall of consumer finance?

Maybe Adolf Hitler got it right. I don't mean the part about world domination, the master race, or all the illing and killing for which he's so justifiably reviled. I'm talking about consumer credit and the way the Third Reich got hard-working citizens to divert a little bit from their pay packet each week to purchase their very own Volkswagen. Theirs to use and enjoy, once they'd finished paying for it. In advance.

2008 Jaguar XJ Vanden Plas - Jaguar Luxury Sedan Review - Automobile Magazine
The aluminum construction of this car allows the 300 hp engine to feel adequate and the normal aspiration gives very linear power delivery.

I've heard a lot of people talk about how well this Jaguar has aged over the years, so I asked Marc to book one before this generation of the car became history. The appeal is very easy to understand as soon as you slide into a soft leather seat and notice the tasteful expanses of wood and leather used in the interior. Everything feels very old school luxury.

2010 Ford F150 SVT Raptor - New Ford Pickup Review - Automobile Magazine
The F-150 Raptor allows drivers to take blistering performance off the beaten path.

2009 Volvo C30 T5 R-Design Review

Stay connected Subscribe to our RSS feed
When has a Volvo ever sparked such a firestorm of attention? In one quick stop at a gas station, I was drawn into two separate conversations about the C30 T5 R-Design. The first gent led off with the usual, "how do you like C30?" The second fellow launched by informing me of his wife's desire to own a C30. Thanks to the tremendous appeal of Volvo's youth-oriented hatch, my quick hit of fuel became a rather protracted social event.
