Borrowing heavily from big-brother STI for the 2011 model year, the WRX grows as an even better value package for those in search of a serious performance machine.
2011 Infiniti G37 Convertible Review
Infiniti’s G37 brings strong competition to the hardtop-convertible segment and costs thousands less than its European rivals.

2012 Toyota Prius PHV (Plug-In Hybrid Vehicle) Review
It might not be as ground-breaking as the Volt, or get as many miles per gallon, but the Plug-in Prius is more of a quiet revolution, making high-mpg green motoring available to a much broader and, therefore, larger segment of the population.
2011 Mazda 2 Review
In the race for fuel-efficient cars, weight might just be the biggest factor. The Mazda2 shows just how big a difference a few hundred pounds can make towards fuel economy and fun.
2011 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid Review – First Drive
With the Sonata Hybrid, Hyundai has reversed conventional hybrid thinking, delivering a car that favors highway driving in order to deliver maximum real world mpgs for the sort of trips Americans do most often.
2011 Subaru Impreza 2.5i Review
Subaru’s base model Impreza, the 2.5i, may not pack the punch of its big brother WRX, but as an economy/compact class sedan it’s remarkably sure-footed and surprisingly fun to drive.
2011 MINI Countryman Review – First Drive
It might not deliver all the thrills of the 3-door, but the MINI Countryman is true to the brand, delivering a fun and efficient package perfect for those who want a crossover, or those who need a little extra space.
2011 Lexus CT200h Review – First Drive
Designed specifically to target the European market, the CT200h hybrid hatchback is an appealing urban package that will help grow the segment in North America and help grow Lexus with a new group of customers.
2011 Tesla Roadster 2.5 S Review
With two seats, a high sticker price and a range that is still somewhat limited, Tesla’s sports car isn’t a mainstream solution to high-emissions motoring. It does, however, gives hope that a green future doesn’t have to be devoid of truly exciting cars.
2011 Hyundai Sonata 2.0T Turbo Review – First Drive
It may have ‘Turbo’ in its name, but don’t think of the Sonata 2.0T as a high-performance version of the already impressive mid-size sedan. Instead, Hyundai uses this forced induction technology to deliver V6 power with much-improved fuel economy; all wrapped up in an already value-leading package.
2011 Cadillac SRX Turbo Review
A solid competitor to the Lexus RX350 in standard V6 packaging, Cadillac now offers a turbocharged SRX with 300-hp in a bid to win over your luxury crossover sensibilities with fun.
2011 Toyota Sienna SE Review
With its Swagger Wagon style that’s sure to appeal more to the emotional side of buyers, the new 2011 Toyota Sienna SE isn’t without its flaws, with a stiff ride and noticeable cost-saving measures.
2011 Infiniti QX56 Review
A small player in the big luxury SUV segment with the first generation QX56, Infiniti is poised to capitalize on an impressive second-generation package as the economic tide begins to turn.
2011 Toyota RAV4 Review
A long-standing best-bet in the compact crossover class, the RAV4 continues to deliver some of the best refinement, space and quality; although competitors are catching up and many surpassing the Toyota when it comes to fuel economy and value.
2011 Porsche Cayenne Turbo Review
While Porsche will boast about the second-gen Cayenne’s fuel economy, arguably the biggest improvements are the significantly improved curb weight and the looks. If only they could make as big a change to the price.
2011 Ford F-150 Review – First Drive
After three years on the market, the Ford F-150 gets a long list of new powertrains, including a base V6, 5.0-liter V8 and impressive EcoBoost V6, that help it pull away from the competition.
2011 Kia Optima Review – First Drive
Based on the same platform as the Hyundai Sonata, Kia’s all-new Optima also boats the same powerful and efficient engine as well as the refined ride. Plus, it comes dressed up in unique bodywork that’s sure to win over a few hesitators.
2011 Subaru Impreza WRX STI Review – First Drive
With suspension and chassis updates for 2011, the STI adds even more capability. Plus, the return of the four-door (at a discounted price) is sure to bolster sales and have fanboys returning to the Subaru fold.
2011 Lamborghini LP570-4 Superleggera Review
Known for a long-standing mission to build faster and faster cars, more recently Lamborghini began experimenting with cutting weight from its high-performance exotics in order to improve dynamic performance. The Superleggera is the most recent example of this new philosophy and a sneak peek at Italian automaker’s future.

A breakthrough product last year, new Heavy Duty pickups by both Ford and Chevy have ousted the Ram HD from its pedestal with the truck now listing some of the lowest power, towing and payload numbers in the class.

2011 Honda Odyssey Review – First Drive
Honda says the new fourth-generation Odyssey is designed to appeal to the passionate side of the brain in order to win over what it terms minivan “hesitators,” but the long list of improvements actually make us want it more for the genius of its practicality and functionality than its status as driveway jewelry.
