Gilles Olivier

My passion for automobiles was first sparked in 1970, and it has never waned since. I spent more than 20 years writing about cars for different newspapers in Lévis, Quebec. Through this work, I had the chance to test about 40 cars every year.

In the early '90s, I became a car reporter on the television program Virage, hosted by Pierre Michaud. After that, I came up with the idea for AUTO/ROUTE, a show I hosted on Vox with the help of Jacques Rainville and Pierre Roberge.

Four years ago, I was honoured to join the exceptional team of writers for the Guide de l'auto. As a web journalist at LC Media, my primary function t is to keep the public informed of the latest developments in the automotive industry. It gives me great pleasure to share my passion with our dedicated readers.
