While dated in certain respects, the Chrysler 300 still boats a spacious interior, bold looks and a rear-drive layout. Updates for 2010 don’t add much, but there’s more to come for 2011.
With excellent fuel economy, reasonable straight-line performance and plenty of grip, you’ll pay a hefty price for that big Audi grille and those four rings up front.
As good as the new E550 is, if you can hold on for another year, you’ll be rewarded as Mercedes prepares to toss the old 5.5L V8 in favor of a more powerful and efficient twin-turbo unit.
Ford’s new Flex isn’t selling well, which might just be the result of stretching the crossover concept too far, attempting to please too many people and fit into too many segments – some of which are already filled.
Now well into its production cycle, the eighth-generation Accord keeps much of what has made past models successful standouts in the mid-size segment, but there are signs that this largest of mid-size sedans is starting to lose its edge.
Growing in size considerably, does the 2010 Outback keep its fun-to-drive wagon characteristics or has it become, gasp… a crossover.
As the first new model to launch under the reborn Chrysler brand, the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee foreshadows a positive future for the American automaker.
It may not provide all the thrills of some German or Japanese competitors, but with a stand-out look, luxurious interior and driving experience that leans to the luxury side, some of the CTS Coupe’s best competitors might be found far north of its sub $40,000 starting price.
With a comfortably long wheelbase and a taught European chassis, the new 2011 Buick Regal delivers a comfortable and luxurious yet surprisingly sporty drive.
It’s comfortable, luxurious, fun, looks great and considering what you’re getting, the price is certainly fair. It’s no Bentley Continental GTC, but the Lexus IS250C will have you, and your bank account, relaxed and happy.
In Canada, where everything costs slightly more than in the U.S., BMW offers an entry-level X3 model to help attract customers to the brand. The only problem is, what you get in the xDrive28i isn’t all that attractive.
GMC Sierra buyers are a little different than Chevy Silverado customers, and GM has decided to exploit that fact, offering the new 2011 Sierra HD with more features and the high-end Denali trim across a wider range of frames.
Chevy’s 2011 Silverado Heavy Duty might not look all that new, but as we discover, looks can be deceiving. With a new frame, Duramax diesel engine and a long list of added features, Chevy’s big truck has what it takes to get the job done.

Thanks to numerous handling and weight saving improvements there’s no longer any excuse for not driving the GT500 like a pro.
A capable vehicle that sticks closer to original SUVs than new school crossovers when it comes to things like cargo room and towing capability, the Highlander still offers Camry-like comfort.

Combining retro good looks, tremendous luxury, incredible handling, a dual-clutch transmission and the world’s most powerful naturally aspirated V8 engine, the SLS is the perfect love child of Mercedes-Benz and AMG.
With a ton of extra power, but also a lot of added weight the ActiveHybrid X6 gets only slightly better fuel economy and performance than the standard V8-powered model but at a much higher price point. Why BMW? Why?
With Hyundai’s Elantra Blue model more about marketing hype than anything else, even a slight improvement in fuel economy adds one more reason to choose this already value-packed compact sedan.
With a long list of upgrades for the new body style MazdaSpeed3, this hot hatch improves on its strong points but carries over a few of its flaws.
Infiniti’s all-new M is finally a serious rival to German competitors thanks to a stunning new look, powerful engine options, a luxurious cabin, improved driving dynamics as well as some great standard and optional features.
