(March 4, 2018) Unless you’ve just crawled out from under an Afghan, you’re probably aware that the roadways and parking lots are jam-packed with crossovers these day — of every brand, color, size and description. 

If you had asked someone 20 years ago to define “crossover,” they would have either given you a blank stare, or started babbling some basketball jargon about a certain kind of play.  

Back then you had sedans, coupes, convertibles, station wagons, trucks and SUVs. Period.

(March 3, 2018) I reviewed the Cadillac XT5 last year when it first launched in mid 2016 as a 2017 model. It took the place of the outgoing SRX. That review has been updated to include changes for the 2018 XT5 tested here.

The XT5 is powered by an all-new 3.6-liter 310 horsepower V6. The engine includes cylinder deactivation that allows it to switch down to four cylinders when the vehicle decides it doesn’t need the extra power and can also shut off completely when the vehicle is stopped to save fuel.

The full-sized Chevrolet Caprice was produced in 1965 as a luxury trim package for the Impala four-door hardtop. Chevrolet expanded the Caprice lineup in 1966 offering a full line of models. It was produced through 1996. This example of a 1968 Caprice was found in North Carolina. (Photos by Ralph Gable)

(March 2, 3018) BENTONVILLE, Ark. — H&H Classic Parts has recently updated their classic Chevy VIN decoder to include Chevelle and Camaro models. Unlike traditional VIN decoders, H&H Classic Parts' decoder takes the guesswork out of decoding. Now, classic Chevelle, Camaro, Tri-Five, Impala, and Chevy II/Nova owners can simply plug in their vehicle's VIN, and the decoder will provide information such as year, assembly plant, engine type, and more.
