2010 Ram 2500 Heavy Duty Review
For those who figured Ram was going soft, fret not. Chrysler has dished up an updated Heavy Duty line for 2010 and it appears to be the most capable yet.
2010 Volkswagen Jetta TDI Cup Street Edition Review
The road-going version of Volkswagen’s TDI Cup cars, the Jetta TDI Cup Street Edition delivers as promised with excellent fuel economy and incredible handling. The biggest problem is that the diesel engine isn’t all that fun and you’d have to be a serious VW nut to pay this much for a Jetta.
2010 BMW X6 ActiveHybrid Review
As much as we love driving BMW’s X6 ActiveHybrid, we could never, ever justify buying or recommending it. This monster hybrid is slower than the V8 despite being much more powerful. It’s about as fuel efficient as the six-cylinder. And it costs as much as the X6 M.
2010 Toyota 4Runner SR5 Review
Toyota’s all-new 2010 4Runner does a noble job of trying to be all things to everyone, but it in the end it’s the rugged SUV’s off-road prowess that stands out above its daily driven on-road characteristics.
2011 BMW 5 Series (535i & 550i) Review – First Drive
Thanks to a revised suspension setup and some high-tech handling aids, the all-new 5 Series drives more like the smaller 3 Series. And with added luxury and high-tech goodies in the cabin you’ll swear you’re in a 7 Series.
2011 Kia Sorento EX V6 Review
The new Sorento moves from a truck-based SUV platform to a car-based crossover platform, and with a smooth and quiet ride, plus great style, power and build quality, it’s obvious Kia made the right choice.
2010 Chevrolet Malibu LTZ Review
On paper the Chevy Malibu is still a solid competitor in the mid-size sedan segment and while there’s lots to recommend, the current drivetrain lineup leaves you opting for either performance or fuel economy, but not both.
2010 Chrysler 300 Review
While dated in certain respects, the Chrysler 300 still boats a spacious interior, bold looks and a rear-drive layout. Updates for 2010 don’t add much, but there’s more to come for 2011.
2010 Audi A3 TDI Review
With excellent fuel economy, reasonable straight-line performance and plenty of grip, you’ll pay a hefty price for that big Audi grille and those four rings up front.
2010 Mercedes E550 Review
As good as the new E550 is, if you can hold on for another year, you’ll be rewarded as Mercedes prepares to toss the old 5.5L V8 in favor of a more powerful and efficient twin-turbo unit.
2010 Ford Flex Limited EcoBoost Review
Ford’s new Flex isn’t selling well, which might just be the result of stretching the crossover concept too far, attempting to please too many people and fit into too many segments – some of which are already filled.
2010 Honda Accord EX-L Review
Now well into its production cycle, the eighth-generation Accord keeps much of what has made past models successful standouts in the mid-size segment, but there are signs that this largest of mid-size sedans is starting to lose its edge.
2010 Subaru Outback 3.6R Review
Growing in size considerably, does the 2010 Outback keep its fun-to-drive wagon characteristics or has it become, gasp… a crossover.
2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee Review: First Drive
As the first new model to launch under the reborn Chrysler brand, the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee foreshadows a positive future for the American automaker.
2011 Cadillac CTS Coupe Review: First Drive
It may not provide all the thrills of some German or Japanese competitors, but with a stand-out look, luxurious interior and driving experience that leans to the luxury side, some of the CTS Coupe’s best competitors might be found far north of its sub $40,000 starting price.
2011 Buick Regal: First Drive
With a comfortably long wheelbase and a taught European chassis, the new 2011 Buick Regal delivers a comfortable and luxurious yet surprisingly sporty drive.
2010 Lexus IS250C Review
It’s comfortable, luxurious, fun, looks great and considering what you’re getting, the price is certainly fair. It’s no Bentley Continental GTC, but the Lexus IS250C will have you, and your bank account, relaxed and happy.
2010 BMW X3 xDrive28i Review
In Canada, where everything costs slightly more than in the U.S., BMW offers an entry-level X3 model to help attract customers to the brand. The only problem is, what you get in the xDrive28i isn’t all that attractive.
2011 GMC Sierra Heavy Duty: First Drive
GMC Sierra buyers are a little different than Chevy Silverado customers, and GM has decided to exploit that fact, offering the new 2011 Sierra HD with more features and the high-end Denali trim across a wider range of frames.
2011 Chevrolet Silverado Heavy Duty: First Drive
Chevy’s 2011 Silverado Heavy Duty might not look all that new, but as we discover, looks can be deceiving. With a new frame, Duramax diesel engine and a long list of added features, Chevy’s big truck has what it takes to get the job done.
2010 Acura MDX Review
Popular because of its car-based underpinnings and its price, the MDX gets plenty of small updates for 2010, including a facelift that keeps it looking fresh in a sea of boxy SUVs.
2010 Subaru Legacy 2.5GT Review
For 2010, Subaru did a lot to make its new Legacy model more attractive to a wider range of customers. Thankfully the Japanese automaker still caters to core buyers with a 265-hp turbocharged 2.5GT model – sold exclusively with a six-speed manual transmission.
2011 Mercedes E-Class Cabriolet: First Drive
Mercedes continues to keep the focus on its E-Class brand, expanding the coupe, sedan and wagon lineup with a stylish convertible that delivers the sort of luxury the German automaker is famous for.
2011 Ford F-Series Super Duty: First Drive
With a bold new look, innovative features and two impressive new engines, the F-Series Super Duty looks to hold on to its crown as king of the ranch.
