2010 BMW 750Li xDrive

2010 Ford Explorer Review
The SUV that started it all, the Ford Explorer, offers reasonable on-road driving with real pulling power. It also has drawbacks like poor fuel economy and suffers from a lack of modernization as Ford looks to phase it out for a car-based crossover.

Having just undergone a mid-cycle refresh, is the 2010 Nissan Altima 3.5 SR still a contender in the highly competitive mid-size sedan category?

Nissan’s refreshed 2010 Sentra 2.0 S provides competitive fuel economy and interior space, but what about the styling?
2011 Audi A8 4.2 FSI: First Drive
A light weight aluminum space, lower center of gravity and wider stance helps the 2011 Audi A8 deliver improved driving dynamics, while slight engine changes and a new 8-speed automatic transmission deliver added power and improved fuel economy.

The second-generation Sorento transforms from SUV to crossover to deliver added fuel economy, looks, interior space and a better ride.

A brief while behind the wheel and its easy to understand why the Rolls-Royce Phantom continues to be the king of cars.
2010 Acura RDX SH-AWD
It’s far from perfect, but the Acura RDX is the only crossover we’ve ever tested that’s actually fun to drive.
2010 Lotus 2-Eleven Review
There’s only one thing wrong with the 2-Eleven; you can’t drive it on the street.
2010 Audi A5 Cabriolet Review
Despite its hefty curb weight, sub-par acceleration and dull driving dynamics, the A5 Cabriolet still excels at what it was meant to do.
2011 Porsche Cayenne S Hybrid Prototype, 2010 Cayenne Diesel
We drive the very similar European Cayenne Diesel and the prototype Cayenne S Hybrid to see what greener alternatives Porsche may have coming for the U.S.
2010 Cadillac SRX Luxury AWD Review
It looks better and costs less, but ultimately, in so many ways, the Cadillac SRX is a slightly less well-executed version of the Lexus RX350.

With the Nissan Armada almost at the end of its life cycle and the glory days of full-sized SUVs behind us, we decided to take a spin in this 2010 Platinum model to rediscover what the domestic automakers were so worried about.
2010 Mercedes-Benz S400 Hybrid Review
With only slightly better fuel economy and almost equal performance to the V6-powered S-Class offered in Europe, one has to wonder if the point of the S400 Hybrid is more about marketing than miles per gallon.
2010 Lamborghini LP560-4 Spyder Review
Set apart by its all-wheel drive, Lambo’s LP560 Spyder moves closer to that other exotic Italian automaker in terms of driving dynamics, while retaining its own unique style.
2010 Nissan Pathfinder SE 4×4 Review
