2009 Chevrolet Malibu Review
Once laying eyes on the 2009 Malibu, which was redesigned for 2008, it is obvious that things have changed from the outgoing model.
2009 Honda FCX Clarity Review
The most innovative auto manufacturers on Earth are moving forward to get hydrogen fuel cell vehicles in the hands of consumers just like you and me. Will it work? Let’s take a closer look, shall we?
2009 Chevrolet Cobalt SS Review
With turbocharged power replacing the old SS’ supercharger, does the new car have enough to fight the Honda Civic Si, Mazdaspeed 3, and Volkswagen GTI?
2009 MINI Cooper Clubman Review
The Mini is well-known as a tenacious performer. But with a set of barn doors in the back, is it any less desirable?
2009 Jeep Patriot Review
With competition from the Japanese and American automakers, the compact SUV class has still lacked a truly off-road capable option. Is the Jeep Patriot worthy of the crown?
2009 Subaru Forester 2.5X Review
Tired of Toyotas? Yawning over Hondas? The Subaru Forester may not be the prettiest SUV, but its features and capability are at the top of its class.
2008 Kia Rondo Review
Is it a car, wagon, sport ute or minivan? Actually, the Kia Rondo is all four. The Korean car maker describes it as a “family-oriented urban utility vehicle.”
2009 Nissan Maxima Review
The 2009 Nissan Maxima returns to its sporty roots following a complete overhaul and redesign for this year. Upon first glance, the curvaceous midsize sedan appears quite large, but it’s actually a tad shorter in both length and wheelbase than the previous sixth-gen model.
2008 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 10
The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution is a pumped up version of the new Lancer. Born out of the original 1981 Mitsubishi Lancer 2000 Turbo rally, 10 generations of high-performance Lancer Evolution models have been sold in Japan, Australia and other Asian markets.
2009 Hyundai Sonata Review
Hyundai continues to be a major threat to just about every car maker. The manufacturer is getting aggressive with its pricing and its products to the point where no automaker is safe.
2009 Chevrolet Traverse Review
Chevrolet has made the shift to accommodate the consumer shift toward smaller, more fuel efficient cars and crossovers.
2008 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited 4X4
Jeep is a four letter word that’s synonymous with outdoor fun and off-road ability. The redesigned current JK version remains true to the iconic image and capabilities.
2008 Nissan Rogue SL AWD Review
It took a few days to grow on me, but after driving a fully-loaded 2008 Nissan Rogue SL AWD for a full week, this small utility vehicle has proved itself worthy. Looking strikingly similar to the Murano, the smaller, lighter, more economical Rogue comes in FWD or AWD versions in familiar S and SL nomenclatures.
2008 Subaru Tribeca Review
With its conservative face lift, slight name change and a new 3.6L engine, however, the redesigned 2008 Subaru Tribeca should be taken more seriously by mainstream buyers.
2008 Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG Review
Mercedes-Benz has been on a roll lately. With impressive technologies such as 4Matic all-wheel-drive system and cleaner diesel engines being used throughout the lineup, the German automaker makes a strong case for your greenbacks.
2008 Infiniti EX35 Review
The new Infiniti EX35 crossover is up against stiff competition, but after a week with one not too long ago it’s clear the competition doesn’t have it easy either.
2008 BMW M3 Review
The bad thing about being number one is that there is nowhere to go but down. The release of the new M3 was eagerly anticipated as word leaked that it would be larger, heavier and offer a V8 powerplant – a first for the marque.
2009 Mazda6 Review
Bigger, better and more powerful than the model it replaces, the all-new 2009 Mazda6 is ready to do battle with bitter rivals Accord, Altima and Camry.
2008 Ford Escape Review
Sporting massive updates the Ford Escape has broken away from the previous model and been completely redesigned for 2008.
2009 Kia Borrego Review
Before we get too far ahead of ourselves, let’s take a closer examination of the Borrego itself. There are two optional engines that we’ll take a closer look at a little later in this review: a 3.8-liter V6 that gets mated up with a five speed automatic transmission and a 4.6-liter V8 that sees itself…
2008 Chrysler 300 Touring AWD Review
Some might call it a poor mans Bentley, but the Chrysler 300 is still one of the best looking sedans on American roads even after five years on the market.
2009 Acura TL Review
The completely-redesigned next generation Acura TL just went on sale and buyers are getting what they’ve asked for. What’s that you ask? According to Acura reps at the launch event held this summer, this means more power, better handling and super all-wheel drive. Actually, it’s SH-AWD, baby!
2008 Honda Accord EX-L Navi Review
The redesigned Honda Accord EX sedan is held by many as one of the best family cars for 2008. Available with four- or six-cylinder powerplants is really wonderful.
2009 Suzuki Grand Vitara Review
Making a number of changes to its compact competitor, Suzuki asked us to take another look at its Grand Vitara. Is there anything new here that would make you want to consider this little ‘ute in the face of stiff gas prices?
