Quick Drive: BMW ActiveHybrid X6

Back at the LA International Auto Show, I told you about taking the new ActiveHybrid 7 for a nice, but unfortunately, short drive around Los Angeles. Part of the same short test driving sessions, I had the chance to drive around ActiveHybrid X6 as well. Although, with the X6, I had a little bit more [...]

Quick Drive: BMW ActiveHybrid7

While I was out in the city of Angels for the 2009 LA Auto Show, I took a hot spin in BMW’s new ActiveHybrid 7-Series sedan.
Before I go any further, though, I must tell you…I don’t like hybrid cars very much. I’ve never been a big fan of them because of the politics, big goose [...]

Raw-CotY: 2009 RawAutos CotY Awards Survey

Well, folks, it’s that time of the year again. It’s the time when we show who shined and who didn’t in the automotive enthusiasts world. This year’s awards will be greater than any other year before it, just because there seemed to be so many great cars offered for the 2009-2010 model years. Remember that, [...]

RawAutos on AutoWorld Radio with Bob Long

While I was out in Los Angeles for the 2009 LA Auto Show, I met a lot of people that have influenced me and been the inspirations to want to do what I do. I hung out with Matt Farah and the crew from Fast Lane Daily -all of whom I’ve met before- for Matt’s [...]

2008 RawAutos Car of the Year Awards!

2008 RawAutos Car of the Year Awards!

The moment you’ve all been waiting for is finally upon us! 2008 has been a monumental year for so many good and bad reasons. It was a year that saw a number of firsts. Our nation’s first African-American President was voted into office. Global warming is supposedly causing record [...]

Test Drive: Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG

Test Drive: Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG
“An axe murderer with headlights”

The headline is what Jeremy Clarkson romantically said about Mercedes-Benz’s latest take on the competitor to the M3. He’s right. I’ve just driven the car this past week. What a Car! I always did like the C63 AMG. With its 451hp and 443lb-ft of torque, you know [...]

Test Drive: Mini E UPDATED 1/11/2009

Test Drive: Mini E

The 2009 Los Angeles Auto Show was not just a big event for BMW fans, but also Mini nuts. BMW released the new, fully electric, 156 mile range, Mini E.
The presentation was a big media event. The deputy mayor of LA was on hand to speak on behalf of the Los Angeles [...]

Ownership Review: 2008 Bullitt Mustang

Ownership Review: 2008 Bullitt Mustang

I grew up in an American car family. I remember growing up with nothing but Corvettes, Cadillacs, Camaros, Mustangs, and the likes. Two 1967 Corvettes, one a 427/400 coupe, the other a 327/300 convertible, both identical in options, colors and features, graced our garage for many years. I grew up learning [...]

Test Drive: 2009 Pontiac G8 GT and the 2008 BMW 550i Sport

Test Drive: 2009 Pontiac G8 GT and the 2008 BMW 550i Sport
Is it really a fair comparison? Most people would argue that comparing the BMW 550i to the Pontiac G8 GT is ludicrous, apples to oranges, or many other things like that. Well, Pontiac went a bit too far when they decided to advertise the [...]

Test Drive: BMW E90 M3

Test Drive: BMW E90 M3

So just like with the 135i, I drove the M3, again. What a blast!!! I love this car every time I drive it. There really isn’t much better to me then to drive the M3. I prefer the M3 sedan, or the E90. I don’t know why, but I’ve always been [...]

Test Drive: BMW 135i Convertible

Some of you may remember my test drive review of the new 2008 BMW 135i. I did another test drive, but this time it’s all captured on camera. Make sure that you turn the sound up when watching the walkaround video.
Thanks to Horatiu for such a great editing job.

Ford 2009 Model Year Test Drive

Ford 2009 Model Year Test Drive
As you may already know, last week I went to Ford’s 2009 Model Year Product Program Event in Dearborn, MI. Ford paid for roughly 200, give or take a few, automotive people to come and check out all of their 2009 cars and technology. It was a lot of fun. [...]

Finally! Test Drive: 2009 Ford Flex Review

Test Drive: 2009 Ford Flex

Finally, my internet worked long enough for the Test Drive Review videos of the all new 2009 Ford Flex Limited.
Now, I know what you are saying. Yes, this is RawAutos.com. This is the place where I only talk about kick ass sports cars and the likes. But the Ford Flex is [...]

Weekly Blog Postponed

So, because my internet hates me, it is not uploading my 2 videos on YouTube very quickly.
It will be a treat for you. This weeks blog is something that you would never expect from RawAutos…
I will tease you with some photos of this weeks blog.

Figure out what it is, yet?
