Today, I attended the 2013 Canadian International Auto Show here in Toronto. No, there weren’t any world debuts nor any other news really worth mentioning to a global audience, but a number of really cool cars were present nevertheless (many of which were Canadian debuts). However, instead of boring you with the usual wall of text, I’ve decided to mix things up a bit – I took my BlackBerry Z10 along with me, and at the end of the day I took the material I had and put it into the Story Maker app to produce a video. So, if you want a quick summary of the day, have a look at the video after the jump!

This year’s Chicago Auto Show kicked off yesterday, and although there were a number of interesting reveals, one car in particular caught my interest – the Chevrolet Cruze Clean Turbo Diesel.

Although it’s always best to consider all the options when purchasing a product, let’s face it – we all tend to have preferences for certain brands in their respective industries. So my question for you today is this: Where do your brand loyalties, if any, lie in the automotive industry?

Well, one RWD advantage comes to mind instantly!
These days, front-wheel-drive has become the drivetrain layout of choice for most manufacturers. Even BMW, famous in the past for criticizing the layout, has given into the temptation with their FWD Concept Active Tourer. But many of us gearheads have pooh-poohed automakers for this, claiming that rear-wheel-drive is far superior. And in some ways, that’s certainly true. Let’s have a look at the facts so we can draw some conclusions.
Cars and fireworks – perfect combination!
So here it is, 2013. The Mayans were evidently wrong! Throughout 2012, the car industry continued to produce products both great and awful, with the pressure still on to improve fuel economy. 2013 is sure to bring about plenty of interesting changes to reflect the importance of fuel economy. Here’s hoping that they don’t forget to make something exciting while they’re at it – Happy New Year everbody!
PS: With the holiday season wrapping up, I should hopefully be resuming a normal posting schedule soon.
