No other name sums up the relationship between Ferrari and Canada better than that of Gilles Villeneuve. He never won a world championship nor did he rack up a host of wins; just six Grand Prix victories came his way and yet Gilles is part of the Prancing Horse’s history...

The new Cadillac XTS represents an interesting move for the storied carmaker. While in other areas they are showing off their performance-oriented side, with the XTS they’ve put in a 3.6 Liter normally aspirated V-6 and either front or all-wheel-drive. The only really sporty things about the 2013 Cadillac XTS...

Fascination with miniature versions of something grand, like an automobile, may seem frivolous, silly even. Items like this, arguably little more than trinkets, serve very little if any practical purpose. While they may be faithful recreations of something larger, they are just that, recreations. By the same token, though, our...
