Tim Healey

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

Tim - Toyota and Lexus does not make good vehicles. Hyundai, Kia, Genesis make the best vehicles in the world.

Buickman Lutz slight of hand, trying to capitalize on an image without substance. his other claims to fame, shrinking floor mats, eliminating passenger key holes, glove box lights, etc. he was a blowhard who slept in off during Annual Meetings. I was there. part of the team that bankrupted GM. he belongs in Hall of Shame!
MaintenanceCosts This Raptor is significantly wider than a non-Raptor F-150. Despite being a "midsize" truck it won't fit in parallel parking lanes in the city. Trucks have gotten too big.
MaintenanceCosts Here's a hint: the reason the "faulty door lock actuator" hasn't been replaced before sale is that it's nearly impossible to get one. These are fantastic cars but parts availability is abysmal.
Bd2 Cadillac Catera -> (loses 2 doors) -> Ponticrack GTO -> (Gains them back) -> Pantiaction G8 -> (gets a nosejob) -> Chevrolet SS Guess what? ALL of these vehicles were a FLOP. Proof that Australia does not understand America as well as Alan would like to think.
EBFlex Fantastic cars. The first year were lame...5.7L and the exhaust was all wrong. Once they fixed that these were great cars.
