Old enough to remember that AMC, not Subaru, built the "world's first Sport Utility Wagon" and young enough to prefer fuel injection to carburetion, Chris Jackson graduated from the University of Michigan and has been an auto journalist since 1998. He lives in Michigan with 3 cats and a collection of automotive strays that includes a '76 Mercedes 300D, a'54 Chevy 3100, a Pinto and a Volvo 240. |

2009 Dodge Ram 1500 Review
|
| Dodge | 1/2/2009 |
 |
The Ram seems to have somehow become tougher as a truck, yet more civilized as a vehicle. The Dodge Ram has traditionally been the least carlike of the full-size pickups, but the 2009 model ironically leaps to become the most carlike. |

2009 Chevrolet Traverse Review
|
| Chevrolet | 12/13/2008 |
 |
Even after proving that it can share platforms between its divisions without resorting to vehicles that are distinguished solely by grilles and badges, General Motors still made me skeptical with the introduction of its new range of full-size crossovers. The new vehicles are shared between GMC, Saturn, Buick and now Chevrolet's got a version as well. |

2009 Kia Borrego Review
|
| Kia | 11/30/2008 |
 |
Rather than bursting onto the three-row SUV scene, the Borrego slipped quietly in the side door, nodding politely to anyone who caught its eye but not making a big production of its arrival. It's got seven seats, enough power to tow and haul, and comfortably burly styling, and that's enough to get it into the club. |

2009 Jaguar XF Review
|
| Jaguar | 11/17/2008 |
 |
There's something about the XF that doesn't translate well in photos, a feeling of specialness that's unique to Jaguar. This car feels somehow more precious than its competitors, like a rarer, more exotic beast. |

Motorsports 2008...A Look Back at an Exciting Year
|
| 2009 | 1/2/2009 |
 |
Think about this: In 1968, the Formula One World Champion from England was caucasian and so was the US President-elect. Forty years after Dr. King's death, the Formula One World Champion from England is black, and so is the US President-elect. |

Flight of the Incorrigible: Travels in Tennessee
|
| 2008 | 12/19/2008 |
 |
If there's a problem with Nashville, it's that the city doesn't offer much to do that isn't country-music related. There are a scattering of antique stores and cool used bookstores like Rhino Booksellers, and there are some neat places to eat, but as far as actual destinations, the non-Opryland-related offerings are actually kind of slim |

2009 New Truck Guide
|
| 2008 | 12/18/2008 |
 |
As truck buyers demand more and more convenience and comfort, the line between what's a 'car' and what's a 'truck' becomes blurrier with each passing year. This year's crop of new trucks, SUVs and crossovers is a prime example of this drift; the latest crossovers from BMW and Toyota aren't even recognizable as being large, trucklike vehicles at a glance. |

 |
