Tim Is the New Steph, Kinda, Sorta

Steph’s been locked in his sweltering Ottawa apartment, heat wave after heat wave, for weeks now. To give him some respite, we’ve sent him to British Columbia to enjoy some Korean luxury.

No, that’s not an oxymoron — at least, we don’t think it is. Steph will clarify in a few days when we reports back on the Equus Genesis G90.

In Steph’s place will be TTAC’s own Timothy Cain running his digits over the digital ivories.

Tim’s under strict orders not to talk about sales six times a day — but Tim’s a wild man, and he might mutiny and roll out a statistical deathwatch analysis of midsize cars again.

Anyway, Tim’s a trooper, and he’s here for a good time, not a long time. So have a good time, because Tim’s brilliance can’t shine on TTAC everyday. Oh, wait, yes it does.

    Mark, Perhaps it would be nice if the B&B gets a little intro auction form the mystery writers who sho up from time to time, not Tim , but we have seen folks drop in and never have any idea where they came from or if they one and done here.

      @Mark Stevenson I'm sure you meant to type "trouper", not "trooper"...

    Does this mean Tim's ride of the week is a bright white sports car?

      @Timothy Cain That's timely. I've been looking for a no-option Spark review...

  • It looks like a Kia Amanti with a Ford Fusion grille, and a Chrysler badge on the hood. The Koreans should stop copying design elements from everyone else, and make something unique, original and classic. Or at least make form follow function, then give it a little style. This thing will only sell on financing, because there is nothing else special about it, unless you are a fan of large diagonal LEDs where they aren't needed.

      @JohnTaurus I think they should add AWD as option to the Soul immediately. That's my only real suggestion for them - otherwise I don't really have any complaints about the Soul. Add AWD and watch sales go through the roof. I also feel that like the Flex, the restyle was done very appropriately, and well.

    Ottawa & heat wave? It looks like they peaked at 34 C (93 F). That's rough.
