2012 Chevrolet Sonic Review
Chevrolet aims to erase memories of the Aveo with the Sonic, the brand’s latest subcompact effort.
2012 BMW X5 xDrive50i Review
More than a utility vehicle, it’s handsome, luxurious and sporty, with an incredible new turbo V8 engine.
2012 Hyundai Veloster Review
Delivering style, fuel economy and plenty of value, could the Veloster be less than the sum of its parts?
2011 Porsche Cayenne S Hybrid Review
Slower and more expensive than the V8 Cayenne, the Hybrid model is, however, free of rich people guilt. But its best feature might just be that Porsche badge.
2012 Buick Regal GS Review
The Buick Regal GS is a quick, well-appointed sports sedan that proves Buick is capable of making something fun to drive. But who exactly is in the market for a sporty Buick?
2012 Ford Explorer EcoBoost: First Drive
In just one generation, the Explorer has gone from a truck-based SUV with a V8 engine to a car-based, four-cylinder powered crossover. But will it play with a notoriously conservative customer base?
2012 Ford Edge EcoBoost Review: First Drive
Betting that consumers will choose fuel economy over power, Ford’s Edge Ecoboost is an interesting gamble that could pave the way for more small-displacement choices in the crossover segment.
2011 Chevy Camaro SS Convertible Review
AutoGuide’s Derek Kreindler explains how his love of the Camaro SS Convertible is like a social smoker who only lights up after a few drinks.
2012 Toyota Camry Review [Video]
With a familiar shape and near-identical dimensions, there’s more that’s new about the all-new 2012 Camry than a quick look would suggest. Highlights include best-in-class fuel economy, the Display Audio system and the stand-out Hybrid model.
2012 Chevrolet Orlando Review
Don’t want a full-size minivan, but need more space? Don’t want to spend big bucks on an SUV, or pay for the gas? The solution: the Chevy Orlando. Or at least it would be if you lived in Canada.
2011 Land Rover LR4 Review
A rare SUV for an even rarer individual, the LR4 refuses to cross over, and instead boldly sticks to its utility vehicle roots.
2012 Hyundai Genesis Review [Video]
After an important list of performance and style improvements for 2012, the Hyundai Genesis is an event stronger value in the luxury segment. The question remains, can you be sensible and order-up an excellent V6 model, or will you be tempted by the R-Spec?
2011 Kia Optima Hybrid Review
With an identical powertrain to the Hyundai Sonata Hybrid, Kia’s Optima Hybrid doesn’t get it’s own unique look. And with a style as attractive as the Optima, it’s probably best not to mess with a good thing.
Mazda SkyActiv Prototype Review [Video]
SkyActiv is the term Mazda has given to its new lineup of engineering solutions, ranging from platforms to engines to transmissions. At the SkyActiv Technology Workshop Mazda invited select journalists to peek inside the future of the brand, learn plenty and even drive prototypes.
2012 Mercedes-Benz M-Class Review
The all-new Mercedes ML might lack that passionate punch, but makes up for it with an incredibly well rounded luxury package.
Ford Fiesta Rally Experience at the Team O’Neil Rally School [Video]
AutoGuide’s Derek Kreindler takes the Team O’Neil one day Ford Fiesta crash course, learning the techniques to be fast, while staying on the dirt and out of the trees.
2012 Audi S5 Review [Video]
It’s not a question of if you should buy the Audi S5, but when. And with the incredible 4.2L V8 destined to be replaced by a supercharged V6, we suggest you don’t procrastinate.
2012 Scion iQ Review [Video]
A better Smart and priced like one too. Still, the Scion iQ falls short of its touted premium status.
2011 Nissan Quest LE Review
The Quest might not be the innovation leader in the minivan segment, but that’s not to say it doesn’t have some excellent features. And in top-level LE trim it’s arguably it the most attractive for those who need family utility, but want a luxurious package.
2011 Toyota Tundra Review
Not much is new on Toyota’s full-size pickup, which is starting to look a little dated, especially against offerings from Ford and Ram.
2011 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible 2LT
Along with better visibility, but the Camaro Convertible gains some important chassis bracing, meaning it loses little compared to the coupe in terms of driving dynamics and comfort. Now if only Chevy had updated the interior at the same time.
2012 Nissan NV Review
Nissan bets there’s still life in the full-size van market and has built a commercial vehicle to take on the archaic domestic offerings and quirky European ones.
2011 Mazda MX-5 Miata Review [Video]
Bigger and heavier, yes, but when compared to the first-generation Miata the MX-5 retains all of the original’s fun and wraps it in a more livable package.
2011 Nissan 370Z NISMO Review [Video]
In building the NISMO Z, Nissan followed the proper route for a special edition sports car, adding on all the extra performance goodies and then deleting the unnecessary luxuries, making for a heightened driving experience at little extra cost.
