Safety Tip:Almost four in 10 respondents to an ICBC survey feel less confi dent driving in winter. Staying off the road can sometimes be a less stressful and safer option. Instead, take public transit, get a ride with a friend or
family member who is a confi dent driver, or take a taxi.
Question of the WeekThis week’s ICBC tip recommends that people who feel nervous driving in poor winter conditions should take the bus or call a cab. How bad would it have to be for you to park the car?

DrivewayCanada.ca | Welcome to the driver’s seat
Getting your kicks on Route 66Riding the highway west along Route 66 for around 4,000 kilometres is on many people’s bucket lists.After completing the epic journey from Chicago to Santa Monica, California, I must say there were times during the 56 hours, 36 minutes of driving that I figured it might be the last item on my list!On the Nissan Altimate Rogue Trip we saw the spectacular in spades. And when the dozen journalist participants pulled up at the end of the road by the Santa Monica Pier, we shared a great sense of achievement. We all knew each other from new vehicle launch-es around the world, but this was different. This hardened, cynical bunch developed a greater camaraderie along the way and some even hugged as we gazed at the lapping waters of the Pacific.We climbed aboard the 2015 model Nissan Rogue crossovers and Altima sedans one very chilly Chicago Sunday and set out to retrace the route of this historic highway, which was decom-missioned in 1985, and replaced by the I-40 freeway. Actually, routes – plural – would be more accurate as the road, which carried hundreds of thousands seeking prosperity out west, has followed a number of paths since the late 1920s. The Mother road, as it is known, carried us through Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and finally California. For most of us, it was an adventure musically inspired by many versions of the song “Get your kicks on Route 66”.
I recall watching the TV show Route 66 in the 1960s but today tens of thousands are drawn each year to the highway by the 2006 animated movie Cars. The movie action takes place on the route, many of the fictitious locations are based on actual places, and real people inspired some of the characters.Space limitations permit just a sampling here of what we saw and did along the way. However, you can find a complete report of the journey, gallery of photographs, vid-eo links and how the vehicles fared as long-distance transportation at drivewaybc.ca. Our first contemporary culture reference came on the first day in Joliet, Illinois, where we were treated to action figures of the Blues Brothers dancing above a building close to where some of the movie action took place at the local penitentiary. The Bluesmobile was also on view, sitting atop a pole. The early part of the
route features many giant-sized statues of historic figures, such as Abe Lincoln, and not so historic figures promoting various products.Local communities have funded the restoration of many old service stations and many have a classic
car parked on the forecourt. I thought we would have the first crash of the trip when the first Rogue Altima, or maybe Altimate Rogue (referring to the
drivers, of course), screeched to a halt at the curb in Galena, Kansas. There at the front of the service station was the ‘real’ Tow Tater truck, on which the Cars’ character Tow Mater was based.On the way to Amarillo, Texas, we pulled into the U-Drop Inn – a building that is the exact replica of Ramone’s Body Art Shop in the movie. I guess that could be the other
way round.The next day, some of the group spray-painted messages (that’s the tradition) on the Cadillac Ranch art installation of ten Cadillacs, sunk nose first into the red dirt. Seen from a distance they bore an
uncanny resemblance to the Cadillac Mountain Range from, you guessed it, Cars.The semi-desert from Albuquerque, New Mexico, to Williams, Arizona offered stunning vistas and yet another movie reference. The rooms
of the Wigwam Motel in Holbrook are concrete teepees. (Cozy Cone Motel in Cars.). Side trips to the Petrified Forest and Grand Canyon National Parks left us all in awe and stunning views soon filled our camera memory sticks. The gold rush town of Oatman gave us an excellent send off for our last day though the Mojave Desert and down into Los Angeles.

by Zack Spencer
In 2003, Porsche Cars North America shipped a number of its shiny, new, Porsche Cay-enne SUVs from head office in Atlanta to drive the Sea to Sky highway here in B.C.
The day started with a long explanation as to why the famed sports car maker was getting into the SUV game. History often repeats and here again in 2014, Porsche shipped roughly 50 new Cayenne S and SE Hybrids to the same scenic highway. This time around there was no explanation as to why this second-generation model exists: the Cayenne currently
accounts for roughly fifty pres-ent of all Porsche sales.Looks
When the second gen-eration Cayenne came out in 2011 it was a departure from the previous model. As head of design for the current Cayenne, Ingo Scheinhuette, told me: “Even though the new model was larger than the original, many people thought it looked smaller.” In an effort to make the new 2015 facelift look more masculine, the goal was to make the Cayenne look more planted and wider. To do this, the entire front end, including the front bumper, grille, head-lights, and front fenders have
a more polished look. The daytime running lights have four LED marker lights that are also mimicked in the tail lamps, plus bi-xenon lamps are now standard. The front air intakes are wider and the hood looks more integrated into the design. Around the back, the rear window spoiler, hatch, bumper and exhaust tips are all new. The lights are more sculpted, the bumper has been raised and widened and the exhaust tips now pop through the lower valance. If the goal was to make the Cayenne more masculine, mission accomplished. Inside
What hasn’t changed,
thankfully, is the interior. Three minor changes include a three-point sports steering wheel as standard equipment across the entire Cayenne line that includes paddle shifters and heat. The other changes include standard navigation and a slightly more sculpted rear seat. The rest of the interior is pure automotive perfection. The level of fit and finish has yet to be surpassed in this class and the logical multi-button layout looks intimidating at first but is easy to master after a few days. What Porsche has done in the industry is move the needle on what is expected in premium products. In many
ways, the competition looks frumpy and rather dated, even after four years on the market, the Cayenne is still fresh. Drive
With pressure on automak-ers to improve fuel economy and lower their carbon footprint, this latest 2015
Cayenne receives two new S models. The base S used to be fitted with a V8 engine, now a smaller 3.6L V6 with two turbocharges helps to produce an extra 20hp but saves fuel. This is the same engine that is used in the smaller Porsche Macan Turbo. Accelerating up through the mountains was a snap but the sound from the engine and interior vibration isn’t as smooth as the old V8. The second new drive system is the plug-in SE-Hybrid that can run on pure electric power up to 30kms before the supercharged Audi-derived 3.0L gasoline V6 kicks in. This model can run on the 95hp electric motor alone, for greatest efficiency, or the electric motor can be used for additional punch for spirited moves. The combined output is 416hp and 435 lb.-ft. of torque. This is the very first
plug-in hybrid in this class of vehicle. Last year the Porsche Panamera sedan came equipped with this system and accounted for roughly 11 per cent of overall sales but that was a rear wheel drive only car, this Cayenne is all wheel drive, which should appeal to more buyers. Verdict
The greatest challenge for the SE-Hybrid is the already practical and thrifty diesel Cayenne that delivers nearly as much torque and fantastic economy. Nothing can compete with pure electric driving for carbon reduction but it comes at a cost. The SE-Hybrid starts at $86,800 and the Diesel starts at $71,330, which leaves a ton of extra cash left over for those costly Porsche options. The new turbo V6 equipped Cayenne S now starts at $83,700, which poses a problem for buyers of the $82,200 Macan Turbo. Both start at roughly the same price but the Cayenne comes with boatloads more interior space, 20 more horsepower and the same Porsche crest on the hood. The smart money is on the Cayenne over the rather cramped Macan, there is actually room for the family dog in the back.
