2009 Toyota Prius
With the third-generation Prius just around the corner, we take the ’09 model out for a spin to see what needs improving.
2009 Lexus IS350
You have to love the available power from the IS350’s naturally aspirated V6. What you don’t have to love are the steering and transmission.
2009 Chevrolet Impala
Despite its appearances in NASCAR victory lanes, the Impala is about as average a car as money will buy. And with the new Malibu being so good, the Impala is certainly less appealing.
2009 Volkswagen Routan SEL
Is there any reason to purchase a VW Routan over its Chrysler Town & Country counterpart? Is there any reason not to?
2010 Mercedes-Benz GLK350
Mercedes enters the entry-level luxury SUV/Crossover segment with a fresh face.
2009 Infiniti M35 AWD
Infiniti’s mid-level luxury car is now more competitive in the horsepower department, but it’s falling behind when it comes to price.
2009 Mitsubishi Outlander
Mitsubishi’s best selling crossover is based on the Lancer platform, making it nice and agile, but it’s hardly a compact SUV.
2009 Mercedes-Benz SLK350
With a V6 powerplant, 7-speed automatic transmission and retractable hardtop, the SLK350 might not be the best performance option in its class but it’s king in the comfort category.
2009 Volkswagen CC
Every now and then the performance guys at VW win out over the sensible family-car guys. This is one of those times.
2009 Acura TSX
You want power, Acura gives you four cylinders. You want trim choices, Acura gives you two. You want a bargain, the dotted line says $29,160. Is there more to the TSX than price?
2009 Jeep Commander
Is Jeep’s gas guzzling quasi seven-seater long for this world?
2009 Acura RL
If your top-of-the-line luxury sedan isn’t selling, what do you do? Despite being one of the prettiest sedans in history, Acura decided to refresh the RL with blade surfacing, or whatever they call it. Has it worked?
2009 Lexus ES350 Review
If you’re looking for a luxury-sport sedan without the “sport” the ES350 is for you.
2009 Nissan Murano
Is a redesign for 2009 enough to help keep Nissan’s futuristic Murano SUV ahead of the pack or has a lack of other improvements let it slip from its pedestal?
2009 Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG
A coupe and a convertible. A luxury cruiser and a sportscar. What else is there to say.
2009 Subaru Legacy
Easily the best-looking Subaru, where does the Legacy fit in?
2009 Ford F-150
Looks can be deceiving. The ’09 F-150 is all new and comes with plenty of innovations.
2009 Audi A4 3.2
With a new chassis and new design for 2009, Audi’s old V6 engine is showing its age.
2009 VW City Golf
The City Golf is the cheapest VW for sale in Canada… for a reason.
2010 Kia Soul Review
Would you really consider buying a Kia because of its personality? That’s what the Korean car company, long relegated to the bottom of the heap in terms of style, hopes to achieve with the Soul. Can it rival the new-for-2010 Nissan cube — let alone the Toyota Matrix or Suzuki SX4 hatchback?
2009 Chevrolet Aveo5 LT Review
Auto manufacturers know that while profit margins for entry-level vehicles are small, building brand loyalty is huge. The Daewoo-derived Aveo5 hopes to get first-time buyers into a Chevrolet.
2009 Aston Martin DBS
Thanks to engineering that is now on par with design, the most beautiful car on the planet is also a serious performance machine.
2009 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG
With a bold new design and class-leading power, has Mercedes made an iconic sports sedan?
2009 Infiniti FX50
With larger wheels and a high-displacement and more powerful engine, is the FX50 proof that bigger isn’t always better?
