IN DEPTH REVIEW OF THE TOYOTA SIENNA XLE:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mucC8iS0UdI


The Sienna XLE is one of the two best passenger vans available in the market these day.  I like it a lot but not for everyday drive because it is longer and wider than mid/large-sized sedans, finding a space and parking between the 2 white lines is a hassle.

the Sienna, however, is ideal for travelling/sightseeing in the comfort of your own car!

I am surprised that the 7 slots are not all occupied by the Big 3s!

10 AFFORDABLE YET FAST COMPACT CARS FOR 2018:

"Affordable" is a relative terms depending on your wallet size.  Top of this affordable list is the Audi RS3 with 400 HP and just under C$100K ().  It hurts just listening to those $ #.

OK, OK, you can go down to the KIA which is much more affordable or the Mini Cooper S JCW or the R.

Once you move away from KIA, $ start going out of style!

There is one more practice session to day, to be followed by the Official Qualifying.  However, Hamilton will lose 6 positions as a result of penalty due to unscheduled gear box change.

Let us say if Hamilton has the first qualifying time, he will drop 6 positions to occupy 7th, and so on.  This makes the race more interesting but not for the championship contenders.

2018 AUDI RS5 REVIEW:

This is a 2-door sporty Sedan.  It is fast, guaranteed, but not for the family man, for "bachelors".

Identical to the Tiguan (optional 3rd row) except the Atlas (standard 3rd row) is bigger in size in engine.

3 more words should be added to complete the title -- "BUY THEM ALL"!  

I like the metallic blue hard top with a long name of about $2.6MM!

AMAZING NEW CARS COMING IN 2019:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-eAamLEnaY



You guessed it, none of the Big Three's cars made it to the "amazing" category!  

Basically, Porsche, Audi, Benz, Hyundai, Kia, & VW made up this "amazing" list.  Please note, preliminary info is still sketchy and NOT all models are available in N. American, let alone Canada.

Which one do I want when Lottery hit me with a jackpot?  Due to parking consideration, I am not into large family-size sedans, so I will take the smallest of MB cars which could churn up 450 HP (one major set back, it will NOT be available in Canada  )

Before you view the above video, go buy a lottery ticket first.
