Review written on 5/1958.
Some say we're never kind enough to Gordon-Brull. Face it, we don't pull our punches when it comes to vehicle reviews. Just look at what we call the Edinburgh. That doesn't mean we don't sing praises when someone makes a good Sedan like the Republique. So where does the WolfHound stand in the Sedan segment? After spending a few days with the WolfHound. We have made our judgment.
The day started right when I was picked to drive the Gordon-Brull WolfHound on the track. The WolfHound is a is pretty fast for a Sedan. Its 106 hp @ 4624RPMs 2162 cc Flat4 engine response great and is the perfect size and power for this vehicle. It left a smile on my face when I was able to top it out at 103 mph. And then on the drag strip I was able to crank out a 25.675s 0 to 60 mph. Some may have their doubts, but the Gordon-Brull WolfHound is a fantastic track Sedan. On the track you can tell that the Gordon-Brull WolfHound is above average when it comes to handling and driveability. Most Sedan would not be able to keep up with the WolfHound on twisty and windy roads. It can almost put a smile on your face.
While the Gordon-Brull WolfHound won't win any awards, It won't turn heads, and it certainly doesn't have a wow factor. The WolfHound does have a very well design interior. It may not be top end, but it is more than enough for long trips and everyday drivers. It makes you feel good about life. Without feeling pompous.
The Gordon-Brull WolfHound's 31 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 WolfHound is good.
Gordon-Brull has really put some effort into the production of the WolfHound. And it shows in the construction quality of the machine. Panel gaps are non-noticeable. Nothing shakes or rattles when driving down the road. It's a well-built vehicle.
I imagine it'll be rare to find a Gordon-Brull WolfHound in repair shops or even junk yards. These things are well built with quality parts. And that will show in the long run.
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 WolfHound it doesn't. The WolfHound only uses 46.3 mpg. Which means it rarely needs refuelling and when it does, it's cheap!
While talking with engineers at Gordon-Brull we found out that the WolfHound was designed to be nuclear bomb proof. While we don't really know if that is bluster, we do sort believe them. Specially when it ran through the concrete brick during crash testing without leaving a dent on the hood.
When it comes down to it, the Gordon-Brull WolfHound is one of the best Sedan on the market. For almost everyone on the looking for a Sedan, you won't find a much better vehicle than the WolfHound. It testing team was astonished by the results. We give it our total and complete recommendation.
