2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe 2.0T
After the Nissan 240SX was retired at the end of 1998, there’s been a decade-long gap in the sporty and affordable rear-wheel drive segment for buyers with a strong interest in ‘sport compact’ imports from Japan. Clearly Hyundai is aiming to fill that void with the aggressively styled and priced 2010 Genesis 2.0T coupe.
BMW X1 xDrive 23d Prototype
We get a chance to drive a prototype version of BMW’s upcoming X1 crossover and get answers to questions that, until now, BMW has been tight-lipped about.
2010 Honda Insight
With neither the fuel-economy, nor the sophistication of the Prius, Honda is hoping the Insight’s sub-$20,000 price will help it succeed.
2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe 3.8
Looking for some affordable rear-drive sports coupe fun in a package that isn’t retro-styled? If the looks of the Ford Mustang, Dodge Challenger or Chevy Camaro aren’t your style and a starting price in the $40,000 range for a BMW 335i or Infiniti G37 doesn’t fit your budget, then feast your eyes on the modern…
2009 Dodge Challenger SE
High volume cars like the V6-powered Challenger SE might not get the publicity of cars like the SRT-8, but we have to hand it to a well-priced entry-level sports car that can still stir the soul.
2009 BMW 335i xDrive Coupe
It might not have the power of the M3, but with all-wheel drive this 300 turbocharged coupe is my ultimate driving machine… from BMW anyway.
2009 Nissan Versa Hatchback
It’s no European sports coupe but the Nissan Versa hatchback gives a lot for a little – once you add on all the toys which more than doubles the base price.
2010 Chevrolet Camaro
It may have the looks, but with a V6 engine, good gas mileage and a comfortable ride, the new Camaro is no sports car. And those are it’s good attributes.
2009 Aston Martin V8 Vantage Roadster
Thanks to a significantly more powerful engine, the V8 Vantage Roadster now performs more like it costs, but is that enough to justify the British sportscar’s asking price?
2010 Mitsubishi Lancer GTS Sportback: First Drive
If you don’t want or need the super performance of Mitsubishi’s Lancer Evolution and Ralliart models, the Lancer GTS may be more up your alley with similar good looks, a lower price and decent performance. The more practical GTS model gets even more functional with the new Sportback version.
2009 Lexus LX 570
It may be a honkin’-big SUV with a powerful V8, off-road capability and excellent towing capability, but with car-like driving dynamics and a luxury interior, the LX570 puts most crossovers to shame.
2009 Volvo XC70
Both impressive to look at and ride in, the safe-as-a-vault XC70 also weighs as much as one, putting a strain on the turbocharged six-cylinder.
2009 BMW 750i
With a great new look, a significantly more powerful twin-turbo V8 engine and, most importantly, a revised and easy to use iDrive system, what’s not to love about the new 750i?
2010 Mustang Convertible
With convertible models becoming increasingly rare, it’s next to impossible to find one that delivers handling and horsepower at an affordable price. That’s why Ford’s all new 2010 Mustang drop-top is certain to be a success.
2009 Mitsubishi Eclipse
The fact that Misubishi’s Eclipse is based on the same platform that underpins its Endeavor crossover should give you a hint at how it performs as a sports car.
2009 Volkswagen Jetta TDI
After a two year absence Volkswagen brings back the diesel Jetta, but in those two years hybrids have made tremendous inroads into the hearts and minds of Americans. Can the TDI reclaim its former glory? Or does it need more to succeed?
2009 Toyota Yaris
As Toyota’s entry-level vehicle the Yaris is a step above taking the bus. It has an easy-at-the-pump 4-cylinder and while it may be basic, it gives freedom on four wheels at an attractive asking price.
2009 Ford Edge
Ford’s Edge crossover combines the best of an SUV and a mid-sized sedan with a great look and a host of unique features.
2009 Bentley Continental GTC Speed
The convertible version of Bentley’s GT Speed combines the best parts of luxury, performance and style in a vehicle that can only be described as “Awesome.”
2009 Toyota Venza Review
With the Venza, Toyota is asking a question. Would you pay a several thousand-dollar premium for a more functional (and cooler looking) Camry?
2009 Cadillac Escalade Hybrid
Attempting to minimize the gas guzzling stigma of the Escalade, the Hybrid version of the mammoth SUV might not win any awards from GreenPeace but it does give remarkable fuel-savings in the city. Too bad the interior isn’t up to premium standards.
2009 Lexus IS250 AWD
With a modest 2.5-liter V6 engine, the IS250 is an entry-level luxury sports sedan that is actually accessible.
2009 Nissan Quest
With its supermodel good looks… Just kidding! The Nissan Quest has a lot of attractive features, even if the package it’s wrapped in isn’t all that appealing.
2009 Ford Flex Review
Forget the minivan, Ford makes functionality fun with the new eight-passenger Flex.
