2012 Toyota Camry Review [Video]
With a familiar shape and near-identical dimensions, there’s more that’s new about the all-new 2012 Camry than a quick look would suggest. Highlights include best-in-class fuel economy, the Display Audio system and the stand-out Hybrid model.
2012 Chevrolet Orlando Review
Don’t want a full-size minivan, but need more space? Don’t want to spend big bucks on an SUV, or pay for the gas? The solution: the Chevy Orlando. Or at least it would be if you lived in Canada.
2011 Land Rover LR4 Review
A rare SUV for an even rarer individual, the LR4 refuses to cross over, and instead boldly sticks to its utility vehicle roots.
2012 Hyundai Genesis Review [Video]
After an important list of performance and style improvements for 2012, the Hyundai Genesis is an event stronger value in the luxury segment. The question remains, can you be sensible and order-up an excellent V6 model, or will you be tempted by the R-Spec?
2011 Kia Optima Hybrid Review
With an identical powertrain to the Hyundai Sonata Hybrid, Kia’s Optima Hybrid doesn’t get it’s own unique look. And with a style as attractive as the Optima, it’s probably best not to mess with a good thing.
Mazda SkyActiv Prototype Review [Video]
SkyActiv is the term Mazda has given to its new lineup of engineering solutions, ranging from platforms to engines to transmissions. At the SkyActiv Technology Workshop Mazda invited select journalists to peek inside the future of the brand, learn plenty and even drive prototypes.
2012 Mercedes-Benz M-Class Review
The all-new Mercedes ML might lack that passionate punch, but makes up for it with an incredibly well rounded luxury package.
Ford Fiesta Rally Experience at the Team O’Neil Rally School [Video]
AutoGuide’s Derek Kreindler takes the Team O’Neil one day Ford Fiesta crash course, learning the techniques to be fast, while staying on the dirt and out of the trees.
2012 Audi S5 Review [Video]
It’s not a question of if you should buy the Audi S5, but when. And with the incredible 4.2L V8 destined to be replaced by a supercharged V6, we suggest you don’t procrastinate.
2012 Scion iQ Review [Video]
A better Smart and priced like one too. Still, the Scion iQ falls short of its touted premium status.
2011 Nissan Quest LE Review
The Quest might not be the innovation leader in the minivan segment, but that’s not to say it doesn’t have some excellent features. And in top-level LE trim it’s arguably it the most attractive for those who need family utility, but want a luxurious package.
2011 Toyota Tundra Review
Not much is new on Toyota’s full-size pickup, which is starting to look a little dated, especially against offerings from Ford and Ram.
2011 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible 2LT
Along with better visibility, but the Camaro Convertible gains some important chassis bracing, meaning it loses little compared to the coupe in terms of driving dynamics and comfort. Now if only Chevy had updated the interior at the same time.
2012 Nissan NV Review
Nissan bets there’s still life in the full-size van market and has built a commercial vehicle to take on the archaic domestic offerings and quirky European ones.
2011 Mazda MX-5 Miata Review [Video]
Bigger and heavier, yes, but when compared to the first-generation Miata the MX-5 retains all of the original’s fun and wraps it in a more livable package.
2011 Nissan 370Z NISMO Review [Video]
In building the NISMO Z, Nissan followed the proper route for a special edition sports car, adding on all the extra performance goodies and then deleting the unnecessary luxuries, making for a heightened driving experience at little extra cost.
2012 Hyundai Elantra GLS Review [Video]
Sixth months after the launch of the all-new Elantra and the small car segment continues to get even more competitive. So does this Korean compact have staying-power?
2011 Land Rover Range Rover Supercharged Review
Once designed for the purpose of scaling rocks, Range Rovers are now more about climbing social ladders; or to be more accurate, letting everyone else know you’ve reached the top.
2012 Hyundai Genesis Review
Once optioned-out, the entry-level V6 model begins to approach the price of the big V8, but despite a relatively small price difference at that level, you’ll be surprisingly satisfied with fewer cylinders.
2012 Hyundai Accent Review
With a more modern exterior and much improved interior, the Hyundai Accent gets the best fuel economy and makes the most power of any car in its class. Plus it’s still a value option, and not just because of the price.
2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302 Review
Proving that you don’t need to make the most power to be the most fun, Ford engineers out-do themselves in creating a balanced and extremely capable track machine that doesn’t deliver hard-core sacrifices on the street.
2011 GMC Sierra Denali 2500 Review
With all the power and capability of its Sierra brother or Sienna cousin, the Denali adds style, luxury and features… not to mention a big price hike.
2011 Lotus Evora S Review
Its engine might have humble Toyota origins but everything else about the Evora is exotic, from its looks, to its handling. And just so you’ll never confuse it with a Porsche, it’s even got a few quirks.
