Review written on 5/1958.
The Coupe 2+2 segment is not for everyone. But the Redwood may be the vehicle for you. Gordon-Brull sure hopes it is. So this week I took a trip down to Gordon-Brull's headquarters to test out the Redwood. Luckily we've also tested the everyone else and the X2413 this year. So we should be able to give you a verdict on how it stands in the Coupe 2+2 community.

The first stop for the Gordon-Brull Redwood was the track. I won't lie. I was scared. This Coupe 2+2 is built for performance. Gordon-Brull cut no corners when designing this vehicle for speed. The vomit stains on the carpet prove that the 106 hp @ 4624RPMs 2162 cc Flat4 engine roars this rocket to a top speed of 99 mph in an impressive 19.299s 0 to 60 mph. With 97 lb-ft of torque, our smoking wheels were able to tow 30 lbs. I'm guilty wanting to steal this one for my self. When it comes to handling, the Coupe 2+2 segment has very few models that are better than the Gordon-Brull Redwood. While it's no race car, this vehicle offers above average cornering abilities that will leave a smile on your face.

The strongest selling point of the Gordon-Brull Redwood is its exceptional sense of luxury. Break out the Grey Poupon because the Redwood is filled with niceties. The seats are so nice I never wanted to leave. In fact I'm writing this while sitting in the Redwood.

The Gordon-Brull Redwood's 28 cu-ft of cargo and passenger space is plenty for the typical consumer. It is certainly better than average for this type of vehicle. While there are some areas that could be improved all in all we think the Redwood is good.

The manufacturing process of Gordon-Brull has really found something. The Redwood seems like a hand built car through and through. The workmanship is amazing. Only fine artisans could produce something like this.

It is a rare occurrence to see the Gordon-Brull Redwood in the shop. These are some of the most reliable vehicles in the segment made. Gordon-Brull knows how to build a machine that will last the ages. No planned obsolescence here.

Are gas prices too high now? What will they be like 10 years from now? What about 50 years from now? Does it matter? If you drive a Gordon-Brull Redwood it doesn't. The Redwood only uses 35.2 mpg. Which means it rarely needs refuelling and when it does, it's cheap!

With some focus on safety, Gordon-Brull Redwood has been able to outshine most in its class. It almost makes you believe the marketing hype that Gordon-Brull does actually believe in the safety and security of your family.

When you drive the Gordon-Brull Redwood you'll see other Coupe 2+2 on the road and think to your self: Why would anyone buy anything other than a Gordon-Brull. Simple answer, they're stupid!
