Five-Point Inspection: 2014 Chevrolet Impala
Sometimes, it is not hard to improve on a product. We can’t imagine there were too many developers at Microsoft who said “No sir, we can’t improve on Windows ME.” Same can be said for the designers at Chevrolet. Things most likely not heard around the office in the past three years “Nope. No way…

Five-Point Inspection: 2013 Subaru BRZ Premium
A true automotive enthusiast will scoff and point their nose to the sky when shown a sports-coupe outfitted with an automatic transmission.

Five-Point Inspection: 2013 Chevrolet Spark
Chevrolet is selling the Spark with razor-thin margins. What’s more, the company isn’t trying to hide that.

It’s far from being the most exciting car…
