2003 Honda Element Wagon
The 2003 Honda Element is a cool vehicle. Highly utilitarian. Very affordable. And it has a refreshing, (though weird) design. Unforunately Honda doesn't want women to like them.

Only one word comes to mind: Corvette. Read More »

2003 Cadillac CTS Sports Sedan
The 2003 Cadillac CTS is a good vehicle for a freewheeling ride on the wild side of automotive performance. It is a world-class sports touring sedan that's well equipped for the task of tracking quickly, but adeptly, through so many winding mountain curves. Read More »
