Photo & Review by Stu Wright When I asked the press fleet manager what kind of vehicle was coming here for testing this week, he answered, “Soul, man”, and it brought to mind one of my favorite old songs by Sam & Dave – “Soul Man”. It was co-written by Isaac Hayes, of “Shaft” fame, [...]

By Stu Wright I’m mixing metaphors on this date, February 7th, because 49 years ago today the Beatles (band) appeared on the Ed Sullivan show to perform their smash, “I Want to Hold Your Hand.” The single had sold 1.5 million copies in under three weeks, and Americans were hungry for something enjoyable, just [...]

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“ [...]
