Someone got this diesel-powered Mercedes ML350 Bluetec all dirty. After a week at the wheel, including while arsing about in the mud, I’d achieved 10.2L / 100km overall– which is fantastic given the size, AWD and 450 lb.-ft of torque.

Me and Chris Koski (www.koskiphoto.ca and twitter.com/koskiphoto) had a great afternoon shooting the BMW 650i Gran Coupe. Here are some pics, including tremendous detail work inside. Shooting this car really helps one appreciate the attention to detail working towards the high price tag.

Some photos of this week’s test subject– the Mercedes CLA Class, as well as the testing grounds, Southern France. The important stuff? 2-litre turbo, 211 horses, 258 torques, 7-speed dual-clutch box and front or all-wheel drive. This four-door coupe feels and acts every part a Benz, and will hit Canadian dealers this fall from $34,000.
Enjoy the pics!

Me and camera guy James filmed the 2013 Mazda CX-9 GT AWD last week on a ‘snow-day’ down Frenchman Lake Road, just north of Sudbury. There was a lot of snow. Some pics from the shoot here. And highlight of the latest big Mazda crossover’s new-for-this-year looks.

So the RS5 and I survived apocalypse day. No fireballs, zombies or deadly cosmic radiation– only lots of snow. Some pics here.

Job this past week? Help 80 of my colleagues turn a field of over 60 cars in 11 different categories, into just 11 “Canadian Car of the Year” category finalists. Ajac.ca has the full scoop. I’ve got a few nice pics of some of the latest models hitting Canadian showrooms.

Chioces, choices. Both these cars have 200 horsepower, get the same gas mileage, cost $26,000 and exemplify affordable fun factor.
The Scion is rear-wheel drive, hardcore, high-revving, and largely a ‘back-to-basics’ Japanese sports car.
The Honda is nearly as much fun, and more every-day friendly, thanks to more storage, a bigger trunk, and a usable back seat. Plus, it’s got a VTEC gauge.
Considering one of these little pocket-rockets? Have a looksie at the photos to help you decide.

Check out the newly-revised ES 350 from Lexus. It’s all in the details. A recent overhaul for 2013 have made this the most richly detailed, three-dimensional and tranquil ES yet. It’s one of the most unexciting, unstimulating cars I’ve ever driven– and shoppers after the ultimate in at-the-wheel relaxation should consider it a priority test-drive.
Other notes from mine? The Mark Levinson stereo system is magnificent, fuel mileage was very respectable, and the leather furniture is so fragrant, the smell stays in your clothes after you leave the car.

Been busy reviewing and filming the 400-horsepower 2013 Porsche 911 Carrera S and the 662-horsepower 2013 Ford Shelby GT500.
These machines are beasts in two very different ways– and both will destroy your drivers license if you haven’t got the self-control of Buddhist monk.
Videos coming soon– here are some pics in the meantime. WARNING: You’ll need a bib.
