So Edmunds decides to Road Trip a 2012 Jaguar XF Supercharged from LA to Alaska. They passed through Alberta:

Alberta is, by far, the most American place I've ever been -- and I've been to Texas. The speed limit hovers around 110 km/h, but every's driving 120 or higher and our Jag is by far the smallest vehicle on the road. F-250 King Ranches outnumber everything by a margin of, oh, 75:1. They're all towing. They're all speeding. They're all awesome.

Alberta portion of the trip. (http://blogs.insideline.com/roadtests/2012/09/2012-jaguar-xf-supercharged-alaska-road-trip-head-smashed-in-buffalo-jump.html)


The trip so far with a small gastank:

Full of Win.

But for Alberta being as big as it is, they really didnt cover anything except for the buffalo jump.

Worst car article I've read in a long time. These fools are basically sticking to the Interstates/Major Highways and putting a shit-ton of kilometers on the car. They could have put the car on jackstands and left the car running in gear if they wanted to simulate this drive. They aren't doing it for the driving experience, and they are not doing it to do any real sight-seeing.

My guess is that this is a way to write off a 1-way trip to Alaska to deliver someone's car with the least mileage on it (other than shipping it).

edit: I guess they are planning a return trip, but they still recieve a Fail for route choice.
