Not many $22,000 cars get stares from people driving Porsches, Cadillacs, BMWs, Mercedes, and Jaguars, but I've had drivers of all of these stare, wave, and ask me questions about my Smart Fortwo Convertible. see full smart fortwo review

Well it is tied into Mercedes, although they seem to distance themselves from it. I just wish it had a emblem that said - "smart, a Mercedes company". see full smart fortwo review

Camaro has a history for being a muscle car. Lots of power yet durable and fun to drive. Back in the day the muscle cars had a rep for having poor handling but with modern technology Chevy has taken car of that issue. see full Chevrolet Camaro review

There it is...the "Camaro Image." Years of Z-28's and IROC's have completely set the expectation (and not totally inaccurately, either) that Camaro's are driven by mullet-sporting, trucker-hat wearing, Lynyrd Skynyrd-rocking rednecks. Doesn't matter that Chevy now offers a machine that can out-corner a Ferrari 458 and out-lap...well, pretty much anything. It's still a redneck racecar. see full Chevrolet Camaro review
