2011 Nissan Quest Review

2011 Nissan Quest Review
It might not be as innovative as some rivals, but the Quest gets the basics right and offers a few new tricks. Plus, it’s got no shortage of style.

2011 Jeep Wrangler Review

2011 Jeep Wrangler Review
Whether more civilized or just less archaic, the Wrangler gets a vastly improved interior for 2011 proving that you can take the Jeep off the trail, but you can’t take the trail out of the Jeep.

2011 Volkswagen Touareg Review

2011 Volkswagen Touareg Review
Improved in so many ways, perhaps the biggest change to the Touareg is the price, meaning there’s now very little gap between this Volkswagen and its Porsche sibling.

2011 Nissan Juke SL Review [video]

The Juke is a rare breed and not just because of its looks. That ‘unique’ design has also been paired with an original powertrain and innovative technology in a segment-busting package. It’s ugly, and we love it.

2011 Lincoln MKS EcoBoost Review

2011 Lincoln MKS EcoBoost Review
With plenty of interior space, luxury, power, craftsmanship and a solid road presence, the MKS combines what’s good about the modern Lincoln with the brand’s classic expertise in making big luxury cars.

2011 Mercedes R350 Review

2011 Mercedes R350 Review
Less ugly and with only a meager attempt at an updated interior, the new-ish 2011 R-Class continues to be a very expensive crossover that leaves little doubt why its sales are so low.

2011 Infiniti G25 Review

2011 Infiniti G25 Review
After duking it out at the top of the ‘3 Series’ segment for years, Infiniti has finally released a more budget-conscious version of its G sedan. Despite its lower price and smaller engine, there’s little lacking in this affordable sports sedan.

2011 Aston Martin Rapide

2011 Aston Martin Rapide
A 4-door sports car, the Rapide is, first and foremost, a luxury machine, with a serious price tag for those who put being unique at the top of their shopping list.

2011 Mercedes-Benz E550 Cabriolet Review

2011 Mercedes-Benz E550 Cabriolet Review
You always expect to pay a premium for a convertible, especially a luxury one with a tri-pointed star on the front and a big V8 under the hood. But the E-Class Cabriolet is surprisingly well-priced without being remotely close to the sort of vehicle you might describe using the term “value.”

2012 Mazda5 Review

2012 Mazda5 Review
Despite being an all-new model, the 2012 Mazda5 doesn’t get any big changes. Luckily for Mazda they don’t have to try too hard, as the 5 is all alone in the mini-minivan segment. Still, that doesn’t change the fact that it’s one of the best examples of practicality, style and price on the market.

2011 Ford Mustang GT Convertible Review

2011 Ford Mustang GT Convertible Review
The new Ford Mustang Convertible might be too good. How’s that possible? Well, its modernization means it’s no longer the raw muscle car of days gone bye. Whether that’s a good thing or a bad thing is up to you.

2011 Buick Regal Turbo Review

2011 Buick Regal Turbo Review
Adding to the competency of the new Regal is a Turbo model with plenty more right-foot fun, plus improved driving dynamics thanks to the a new feature that lets you adjust the shock settings, throttle response, shift times and steering sensitivity.

2011 Volvo S60 Review

2011 Volvo S60 Review
Volvo has finally built a genuine competitor to its German rivals and has even managed to keep the brand’s distinct identity intact. The only issue will be attracting buyers to this more engaging Volvo considering the automaker’s decades-old reputation for building solid and safe, and therefore dull, automobiles.

2011 Subaru Tribeca Review

2011 Subaru Tribeca Review
In the crowded midsize crossover/SUV category, the Subaru Tribeca provides a surprisingly sporty driving experience but comes up short on both passenger and cargo space.

2011 Ford Flex Titanium Review

2011 Ford Flex Titanium Review
With Toyota offering both luxury and sport versions of Swagger Wagon Sienna minivan and GMC announcing a high-end Acadia Denali crossover, Ford wades in with a unique interpretation of its Flex for those with a need to be unique and the cash to spare.

2011 Chrysler 200 Convertible Review

2011 Chrysler 200 Convertible Review
Improved inside, outside and under the hood, the Chrysler 200 Convertible is a massive step forward from the Sebring, but that doesn’t change the fact that there’s still little reason to buy one.

2011 Lexus IS-F Review

2011 Lexus IS-F Review
With big power, razor sharp handling, great brakes and aggressive styling, the 2011 Lexus IS-F is everything a sports sedan should be.

2011 Volkswagen Jetta TDI Review

2011 Volkswagen Jetta TDI Review
All new for 2011, the Jetta is more functional but less inspiring. The TDI trim is, however, a small sign that Volkswagen hasn’t forgotten about its past or a core group of loyal buyers.
