Lamborghini

Never say never, Lamborghini ... !

That's Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelmann, and that's the Lamborghini Urus, which just made its debut at the Beijing Auto Show. Handsome little devil, that. (Oh, and the vehicle's not bad-looking, either.)

I'm getting a chuckle out of this, because some five years ago, I sat beside Winkelmann at dinner on an event for the Gallardo Superleggera. The Porsche Cayenne was tearing up the sales charts, and someone asked him if Lamborghini would also make an SUV - especially since it had already produced one, the odd-and-boxy LM002.

"That was strictly for the military," Winkelmann sniffed. "Lamborghini is all about sports cars. Lamborghini will never make an SUV!"

I didn’t grow up loving cars, but when the bug finally hit, it took me by storm. I make my living writing about them, and I spend much of my spare time playing with them.
I’m a freelance writer and a member of the Automobile Journalists of Canada. My regular outlets include new-car reviews and special-interest articles for The Toronto Star (Wheels section); new-car reviews and features for Sympatico Autos; reviews and a technology column for the Toronto-area newspaper Metro; articles on antique cars for Old Autos Newspaper; and articles in the industry trade magazines Collision Management, Fleet Digest and Tire News. You can still find my work at Autos.ca, where I wrote reviews and features, and was the Assistant Editor.
But I’m more than just cars: I also write about food and drink, travel, pen collecting, celebrity interviews and pets, among others. My work has appeared in such publications as Sharp For Men, Maclean's, Harrowsmith Country Life, Pen World, Dogs In Canada, Gambit, Where New Orleans, Rural Delivery and Writer’s Journal.
