“Traveling with small children has a lot of challenges. From the near constant complaining about being uncomfortable and thirsty to the incessant need to see every bathroom along the way, it is a wonder that anyone survives. But, everyone does it because family holidays are fun. They are supposed to be fun right?

Too often what could be great memories are overshadowed by the stress of just keeping the kids from killing each other. I am not going to tell you that I can make a long car or plane trip pleasant or instruct you to happily sing songs in the front seat to spread your joy around. That is all crazy talk. What you can do is try a few things that might make the portion of your holiday you spend confined in a small space with your offspring bearable.” Source: Google Reader (1000+)

“The CTS Coupe extends Cadillac’s emerging performance credentials. The CTS Coupe’s standard powertrain consists of a direct injected 3.6L V-6 and six-speed manual transmission. Direct injection technology delivers fuel more precisely to increase the efficiency of combustion, enabling more power while maintaining fuel economy and lowering emissions – including a 25-percent drop in cold-start hydrocarbon emissions.” Source: 2011 Cadillac CTS Coupe | Motoring News

“The second generation of Cadillac’s SRX luxury crossover is here. Or should that be “second iteration”? For while it is still Cadillac’s entry in the mid-sized luxury crossover class, the 2010 SRX shares nothing but its name with the vehicle that debuted back in model year 2004.

Surprisingly, it’s a smaller, less-expensive vehicle.

Or maybe that’s not so surprising, given the volatility in fuel prices, changes in government fuel economy standards, concern over greenhouse gas emissions, and economic turmoil that seems to pass for early 21st Century reality.

Don’t think that “smaller and less-expensive” is synonymous with the pejorative “cheaper” here. Cadillac made that mistake once, long ago, and isn’t about to do that again. And parent General Motors is in no position allow, or even tolerate that, either. The 2010 SRX is a true Cadillac, and offers distinctive styling, good performance and fuel economy, and fine road manners that allow it to compete with the best from Japan, Germany, and the U.S.A. ” Source: 2010 Cadillac SRX 3.0 AWD Performance Review

“If you’ve been to an auto show, it’s probably because you think it’s cool to be able to touch the shiny cars and even sit inside them. But wouldn’t it be even cooler if you actually got to drive them? If General Motors has its way, that’s exactly what you’ll get to do.

According to the Detroit News, “The company is in discussions with Cobo Center and Detroit officials about setting up a street course near Cobo to allow the public to test-drive select models during the North American International Auto Show next month.”

Though this is a relatively new idea, Detroit won’t be the first time GM has allowed consumers to get behind the wheel. The Detroit News reports that Cadillac conducted more than 1,400 test drives at the New England International Auto Show in Boston.” Source: GM to Allow Consumer Test Drives at Auto Shows – U.S. News Rankings and Reviews

“Without taking into account the Mazdaspeed, Si and GTI models of the class, the Mazda 3 is hands-down my favorite player in the compact car field. The previous car struck a great balance between practicality and driving enjoyment that no other normal trim version car in this class could hold a candle to. If there was a small strike against the old car, it was that the interior could have used a little more style and possibly a slight upgrade in materials quality.

With the new second-generation 3, it wears Mazda’s smiling front fascia, a tighter chassis and a well executed interior. Above all else it remains high on the fun-to-drive scale. The four-cylinder revs freely and provides good, constant power up to redline and mated to a respectable six-speed manual. Shifts are direct, but slightly crisper action is the only thing it left me wanting. Going down gears before a corner is easily done with perfect pedal placement and the engine’s decent throttle response.” Source: The 2010 Mazda 3 S Sport 5-Door, an AW Drivers Log

“Fancy the Caddy CTS but want something more sleek sexy and luxurious? Then the new Cadillac CTS Coupe is for you then. The last coupe to come from the American luxury brand was the XLR which was based upon the Corvette.

This new CTS is will do battle with German competitors to get buyers looking for a mid level luxury coupe. The new Cadillac CTS Coupe is edgy and attractive from every angle. Most notable is the rear design with the mid form lay out of the exhaust which is super aggressive. The stance of the car sits two inches lower than the Cadillac CTS sedan which provides a more sporty stance for the vehicle. ” Source: Cadillac CTS Coupe set to do battle with European brands
