Something for the Wagon Lovers
Wagons are as American as Ice Cream and apple pie, yet the explosion of SUVs that began in the early 1990s signaled a stark decrease in the popularity of these family haulers. With a little digging however, our friends at AOL Autos have uncovered a few remaining wagon bargains.
Why does the Impala exist?
It’s freshly 2011 as I write this, and the Impala’s replacement has been pushed back to 2014. 2014! By then we’ll have flying cars and iPhones that translate dog barks into words. I’ll be 32 years old. Hopefully by then they’ll invent a pill that lets my hair grow back.

The Cadillac Seville nameplate is nearly as storied as the brand itself. In our first luxury vehicle comparison we explore the unique characteristics that separate an elder Seville from its junior, and find out why newer is not always better.
Video and Review: 2001 Volvo S60 T5 and Atlanta Road Trip
I bought this 2001 Volvo S60 T5 manual in Atlanta. I paid $5300 with 116,000 miles. It was a one-owner car that spent its entire life in Georgia. I originally intended to pick up a Lincoln LS when I went down there, but there was a twist to the story.
