AutoGuide Now For The Week of April 27
Pony cars and crossovers mark our week of testing. See what we’re up to in AutoGuide Now.
2016 Mazda CX-3 – Mike Schlee, Road Test Editor: “This week I am off to Scottsdale, Ariz. to test Mazda’s latest crossover, the subcompact CX-3. Will it continue the current trend of great vehicles coming out of Mazda?”
2015 Ford Mustang V6 and EcoBoost: “Ever since the Ecoboost Mustang came to be, many have questioned why there is still a V6 option. To find out, we are comparing a 2015 Mustang Ecoboost up against the 2015 Mustang V6. Which is the better budget performer?”
2016 Honda Pilot – Colum Wood, Editor in Chief: “I’ll be traveling to Cincinnati this week to drive Honda’s next-generation three-row crossover. The new Pilot trades its chiseled features for a physique that’s more Christina Hendrix – without the sex appeal. Designed for families it’s got every conceivable convenience and safety feature plus a transmission with 9 gears. Some say it looks like a jacked-up Odyssey. And they’re not wrong. I keep thinking I’ll trade in my wife’s Mazda5 for an Odyssey. So can this Pilot win me over?”
2015 GMC Canyon – Stephen Elmer, News Editor: “Our time with the GMC Canyon continues and this week we’re getting some performance numbers. Exactly how fast will this truck run from 0 to 60 MPH? We hooked up a data recorder to get the stats on both the V6 and four-cylinder version of the truck, to chart the differences. If you’re interested in all our our thoughts on the new GMC Canyon, you can read the whole series right here.”
