Photos & Review by Stu Wright Infiniti began selling cars in America two dozen years ago with a pair of initial offerings; the Q45 and the M30.

The Federal Reserve’s decision to proceed on an open-ended asset-buying policy is being well-received by other central banks but few others.(1) The problem for Ben Bernanke and the U.S. dollar is the move’s aim and its outcome are not the same. Bernanke wanted to address unemployment but, by buying American debt–caused by too much demand [...]

Photos & Review by Stu Wright I don’t know if GS means “guaranteed satisfaction” on this particular sedan offered by Lexus, but it would be OK with me. That’s what the buyer gets with a car like this, which is the model I drove this past week. It’s called a GS450h, and the “h“ [...]

Photos & Review by Stu Wright The word “juke” has multiple meanings, but in sports parlance, to juke is to feign or fake out, as, for instance, a running back might do. I suppose that is what Nissan had in mind when naming the mini-crossover that they introduced in 2010. I had one last week [...]

by Matt Lacy – An expert on Communist China says the United States could be making a grave mistake by cutting back on defense spending while China is doing just the opposite. Beijing recently announced a new defense budget of approximately $106 billion, which equates to an 11.2-percent increase. Cheng says this increase coupled with [...]

By Stu Wright Lexus automobiles have been shipped to the United States since 1989. The company is a division of Toyota and is in fact headquartered in Toyota City, Japan. They initially shipped the highly successful LS-400 to our shores and it was a pretty good seller right off the bat. The nomenclature is [...]

America’s Vanishing Wealth Is Government Legacyby Mike McCune – Washington is having a nasty debate over “taxing the wealthy” these days. By good fortune or bad more Americans than ever before don’t have to worry about the ramifications of the debate because they don’t qualify as wealthy even by some Third World countries’ standards.

3rd in a series by Mike McCune It is amusing to listen to the dire saber rattlings coming from Moody’s and Standard and Poor’s about a threatened downgrade of the U.S. dollar by those two rating agencies. They can threaten until the cows come home and it can’t possibly compare to the what [...]

Auto Review By Stu Wright The high performance Lexus IS-F arrived at my house just before the Fourth of July, and I immediately grabbed it for a trip to Denny’s in Ft. Collins for lunch with my wife. When you fire it up with the push button starter, the big V-8 rumbles to life and [...]

By Mike Bauman A scant three years after filing bankruptcy and receiving a huge government bailout, General Motors is likely to overtake Japan’s Toyota for the world’s biggest automaker in 2011. GM’s status was boosted by the earthquake and tsunami that ravaged Japan and disrupted Toyota’s production. In addition, GM has gained a stronger market [...]

By Stu WrightThe 2011 Subaru Forester was delivered to my house on Monday and I immediately headed to Cheyenne for lunch and an appointment. The model that I had control of was the 2.5XT Touring, Subaru’s top of the line Forester. Leather-trimmed seating was a pleasure to the senses, as was the Spark Silver metallic [...]

By Mike Bauman On Tuesday Japan raised its estimation of the radiation leaked from its crippled Fukushima Daiichi plant.

The increase changed the international scale of the disaster from a level 5 to a [...]

By Mike Bauman The national debt has been a political football for years. It seems no national politician has been elected in the past decade without addressing, and usually promising to solve, this issue. But what is the debt? How does it work? Who really holds it? The national debt is not like a [...]
