Consider the car market as an amusement park. Every vehicle has an analogous ride, from the Tilt-A-Whirl Lotus Elise to the Jungle Cruise Ford Taurus. The Dodge Viper and the Chevrolet Corvette Z06, then, can feel a bit like driving the Raptor. Read the rest of this entry »

Remember the Cavalier? You probably do, because it sold remarkably well during its lifetime (particularly towards the end when it was offered at unbelievably low prices) and still has a rather loyal following in the sports compact arena. Read the rest of this entry »
