2011 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid Review – First Drive
Based on the award-winning Fusion Hybrid, the Lincoln MKZ takes all that’s good about its sibling and wraps it in a finely tailored suit. But are customers looking for classical high fashion or something a little more Avant-garde?
2010 Cadillac Escalade ESV Review
Because the standard Escalade might not suit all your needs, the larger ESV model adds almost two feet of space in the same capable and luxurious package.
2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe 2.0T R-Spec Review
A nod to enthusiasts, the R-Spec model delivers the added performance of the Track edition, without the added cost. The tradeoff is a lack of just a few luxury features.
2011 Lexus IS350C Review
With Lexus quality and luxury, plus a powerful V6 engine the IS350C is the epitome of what a luxury convertible should be.
2010 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen Review
No just a competitor to cars like the Chevy HHR, Toyota Matrix or Hyundai Elantra Touring, the Jetta SportWagen is a solid alternative to compact crossovers.
2010 Ford Transit Connect Review
Smaller and cheaper than other cargo vans in North America, the Ford Transit Connect is based on a car platform, delivering a better driving experience and a gasoline engine. But its strengths are also its weaknesses, with little minimal space compared to truck-sized competitors.
2011 Porsche Boxster Spyder Review
With the Boxster Spyder it’s as though Porsche build a Lotus with a better engine, transmission and more sophisticated interior.
2010 Toyota Tacoma Review
The leader in the compact pickup class, it’s not hard to see why the Tacoma continues to outsell rivals thanks to strong engine choices, a low entry cost, a more modern look and Toyota’s legendary reliability. We could do with improved fuel economy though.
2011 Nissan Juke Review – First Drive
The Nissan Juke is part sports coupe, part hatchback and part crossover. Yes it’s ugly, but it also gets an incredible engine, a high-tech AWD system and innovative interior tech items.
2011 Ford Edge Review – First Drive
The 2011 Ford Edge isn’t actually an all-new model; it’s just a mid-cycle refresh. But you wouldn’t know it, with a new design, new engines and Ford’s groundbreaking new MyFordTouch infotainment system.
2010 Mazda CX-9 Review
Mazda’s 7-seater CX-9 has space for people and their cargo, plus it’s got the company’s trademark fun-to-drive qualities and plenty of style. The drawback? Fuel economy.
2011 Chevrolet HHR Review
Functional and fun to look at, we’ll miss the SS model. Still, with two modest engine offerings the HHR doesn’t just offer a unique package; it’s also an excellent alternative to the family sedan.
2011 Cadillac CTS-V Coupe Review – First Drive
A luxury two-door that doubles as a sports car, the Cadillac CTS-V Coupe is so powerful it simply might not have any competitors.
2011 Infiniti M56x Review
Without a vehicle in its lineup to compete with top-tier luxury saloons, Infiniti’s new M sedan was designed for double-duty with rivals ranging from the 5 Series to S Class. Being able to deliver high levels of both luxury and sport, the M56 is destined for success.
2011 Scion tC Review: First Drive
Rather than a wild departure from the first-gen tC, Scion chose to carefully update the 2011 model with improvements in all areas, including driving dynamics as well as added power and fuel economy. But the most telling changes can be found inside.
2011 Chevrolet Cruze Review – First Drive
For decades Chevy’s compact sedans have shored up the bottom of the segment for those who simply didn’t have the cash or didn’t want to spend it on a properly built and outfitted vehicle. Replacing the Cobalt for 2011, the new Cruze wasn’t just designed to be competitive, but to win.
2011 Porsche Cayenne S Review – First Drive
Surveying the market, Porsche has made key improvements to the all-new second generation Cayenne, eliminating those few flaws it had while further improving on what was already the premiere offering in the luxury SUV segment.
2010 Nissan 370Z Roadster Review
It’s not often that you can describe a convertible sports car as being a value, but after a close examination of all that the Nissan 370Z Roadster has to offer when compared to its European rivals and the choice of what fun-in-the-sun car to buy becomes an easy one.
2011 Porsche Panamera, Panamera 4 Review – First Drive
With excellent handling and luxury for four, the only thing missing from Porsche’s new Panamera model is some added low-end grunt.
2011 BMW M3 Competition Package Review
With the M3 already one of the best handling cars on the market, BMW’s new Competition Package is sure to appeal to the enthusiast crowd. But how slight is the advantage, and how few will ever truly find out?
2010 Subaru WRX STI Special Edition (SE) Review
Subaru already builds the perfect car for enthusiasts, the WRX STI. So how do you make it better? Simple, make it a lighter, better handling machine and take $2,000 off the base price.
2010 Cadillac CTS Review
With standout looks, and everything you’d expect from a Japanese or German luxury sport sedan like a premium interior, capable handling, a powerful engine and a smooth ride, the Cadillac CTS represents a true bargain in the entry-level luxury segment.
2011 BMW 550i GT (Gran Turismo) Review
Luxurious and powerful, but not without its flaws, the 5 Series Gran Turismo replaces the 5 Series Wagon in BMW’s North American lineup, but also targets luxury SUV buyers. Unfortunately, it’s even got SUV-like fuel economy.
2011 Infiniti G37 Sedan Review
Updated in 2010 with a revised look, new interior trim and more options, the 2011 Infiniti G37 sedan continues to be Japan’s best answer to the German competition.
