Ford Explorer

Along with the Jetta project, the beginning of this year was consumed by a huge project we did with KBB and Ford. We set off across the country to answer consumer's questions about the new Ford Explorer, we ended up with 5 videos, a crap load of frequent flier miles and very little sleep. Here are a couple of my favorites.

Portland Oregon





Breckenridge CO


2011 JETTA

Lately we have been busy working on videos for KBB "Guide Books" where we do a series of videos on a a specific car to be highlighted on KBB.com. The first series was on the VW Jetta. Here are a couple of those videos:







Land Rover LR4

Off road with style, we didn't jump this thing like the Raptor, but it is still an impressive climber. That being said, the Land Rover is not the greatest road trip car, we took a drive up to San Francisco with 5 people and luggage and comfort wise the back seat didn't really holdup over the 6 plus hours. I demand reclining rear seats! Could also go for a bit more padding in the seats. Given the choice of this or the new Explorer I would probably choose the Explorer, well at least in the sit on your ass for 6 hours category.

Audis on Ice

Directly on the heels of the Detroit Auto Show we shot up to Montreal with Audi to experience some all wheel Quattro action on a frozen race track. Most of the cars there are not even available in the US at this point, I am looking at you RS5. Here is the video proof of our sub zero adventure.
