2011 Ford Shelby GT500: First Drive
Thanks to numerous handling and weight saving improvements there’s no longer any excuse for not driving the GT500 like a pro.
2010 Toyota Highlander Review
A capable vehicle that sticks closer to original SUVs than new school crossovers when it comes to things like cargo room and towing capability, the Highlander still offers Camry-like comfort. We’d pass on the sluggish 4-cyliner over the V6 – even if fuel economy is hampered by the last of a six-speed automatic.
2011 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG: First Drive
Combining retro good looks, tremendous luxury, incredible handling, a dual-clutch transmission and the world’s most powerful naturally aspirated V8 engine, the SLS is the perfect love child of Mercedes-Benz and AMG.
2010 BMW ActiveHybrid X6: First Drive
With a ton of extra power, but also a lot of added weight the ActiveHybrid X6 gets only slightly better fuel economy and performance than the standard V8-powered model but at a much higher price point. Why BMW? Why?
2011 Hyundai Elantra Blue Review
With Hyundai’s Elantra Blue model more about marketing hype than anything else, even a slight improvement in fuel economy adds one more reason to choose this already value-packed compact sedan.
2011 MazdaSpeed3 Review
With a long list of upgrades for the new body style MazdaSpeed3, this hot hatch improves on its strong points but carries over a few of its flaws.
2011 Infiniti M37, M56 First Drive
Infiniti’s all-new M is finally a serious rival to German competitors thanks to a stunning new look, powerful engine options, a luxurious cabin, improved driving dynamics as well as some great standard and optional features.
2010 AMG Performance Tour
With a long history in motorsports, what better place to experience the added performance of the Mercedes-Benz AMG lineup than on the racetrack. AutoGuide takes to the tarmac, to experience each and every AMG model back-to-back – including the new SLS AMG exotic.
2010 Lotus Evora: First Drive
Larger and more luxurious than the current lineup of Elise and Exige model, Lotus goes mainstream with its new Evora sports car – in the sort of niche-market hard-core way it knows best.
2011 Hyundai Sonata GLS Review
After our First Drive of the all-new Sonata, more time spent behind the wheel just gives us more reasons to recommend it. From fuel economy, to horsepower, to style, to price, in the mid-size sedan segment the new 2011 Sonata defines the term value.
2010 Audi S5 Cabriolet Review
While the S5 Coupe retains Audi’s big V8, the Cabriolet model features the German automaker’s new supercharged V6, delivering excellent performance and good fuel economy, while the rest of the package delivers everything else you could ever want.
2010 Honda Civic Sedan Review
Handsome, spacious and fun to drive, there’s a lot to love about Honda’s Civic Sedan, but it’s not perfect. Several years into its production cycle and already having undergone a refresh, we’d like to see improved real-world fuel economy, upgraded brakes and standard stability control.
2010 BMW X5 M Review
Thanks to the engineering experts at BMW’s M division, the X5 has been transformed into a real-live concept car, delivering an almost unimaginable level of performance in an SUV platform.
2010 GMC Acadia SLT-2 AWD Review
A sister-car to the Chevy Traverse, GMC’s Acadia offers good power, a comfortable ride, a well-executed interior and great looks. Fuel economy isn’t the best, but the Acadia does deliver some big truck capability with crossover driving dynamics. Plus, it’s not a minivan.
2011 Ford Fiesta: First Drive
We’re not quite prepared to say the Fiesta is the best vehicle in the sub-compact set, but offering almost all of what made the European model a top-seller overseas, it’s certainly a top pick.
2010 Infiniti EX35 Journey AWD Review
Infiniti’s EX35 is a prime example of what’s different between a Sport Utility Vehicle and a sporty luxury crossover: there’s little utility and plenty of sport.
2010 Acura TSX V6: First Drive
Usually adding horsepower to a luxury sport sedan can only be a good thing, but when it comes to the TSX, perhaps Acura should have stuck with the four-cylinder.
2010 Jeep Patriot Off-Road Review
For the fourth and final installment of our winter off-road series, AutoGuide takes on the snow and slush in Jeep’s entry-level Patriot model, testing the capability of both the Freedom Drive I and II off-road packages.
2010 Honda Accord Crosstour EX-L Review
On the up side, it’s great to drive and incredibly premium. On the down side it lacks cargo room and could be more fuel efficient. So is it right for you? That depends…
2010 Dodge Ram 1500 4×4: Off-Road Review
The third installment of AutoGuide’s off-road series, we forget the Jeeps and tackle the mud and snow in a 4×4 Ram 1500.
2010 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon: Off-Road Review
The latest in our series of off-road reviews, AutoGuide tests all the tricks of the Trail-Rated Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon in the frozen north of Canada.
2010 Acura ZDX Review
The drawbacks of a crossover, without the advantages. The ZDX is proof that Acura has lost its way.
2011 Ford Mustang GT: First Drive
It’s back! The 2011 Mustang GT has enough grunt to have the Mustang faithful back worshiping at the temple of 5.0 and enough technology, quality and value to make converts of everyone else.
2010 Jeep Compass: Off Road Review
It might not be “Trail Rated” but Jeep’s AWD system makes the Compass one of the few compact crossovers that
