2010 Chrysler 300 Review

2010 Chrysler 300 Review
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.

2010 Audi A3 TDI Review

2010 Audi A3 TDI Review
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.

2010 Mercedes E550 Review

2010 Mercedes E550 Review
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.

2010 Ford Flex Limited EcoBoost Review

2010 Ford Flex Limited EcoBoost Review
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.

2010 Honda Accord EX-L Review

2010 Honda Accord EX-L Review
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.

2011 Cadillac CTS Coupe Review: First Drive

2011 Cadillac CTS Coupe Review: First Drive
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.

2010 Lexus IS250C Review

2010 Lexus IS250C Review
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.

2010 BMW X3 xDrive28i Review

2010 BMW X3 xDrive28i Review
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.

2011 GMC Sierra Heavy Duty: First Drive

2011 GMC Sierra Heavy Duty: First Drive
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.

2011 Chevrolet Silverado Heavy Duty: First Drive

2011 Chevrolet Silverado Heavy Duty: First Drive
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.

2010 Acura MDX Review

2010 Acura MDX Review
Popular because of its car-based underpinnings and its price, the MDX gets plenty of small updates for 2010, including a facelift that keeps it looking fresh in a sea of boxy SUVs.

2010 Subaru Legacy 2.5GT Review

2010 Subaru Legacy 2.5GT Review
For 2010, Subaru did a lot to make its new Legacy model more attractive to a wider range of customers. Thankfully the Japanese automaker still caters to core buyers with a 265-hp turbocharged 2.5GT model – sold exclusively with a six-speed manual transmission.

2010 Toyota Highlander Review

2010 Toyota Highlander Review
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. We’d pass on the sluggish 4-cyliner over the V6 – even if fuel economy is hampered by the last of a six-speed automatic.

2011 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG: First Drive

2011 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG: First Drive
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.

2010 BMW ActiveHybrid X6: First Drive

2010 BMW ActiveHybrid X6: First Drive
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?

2011 Hyundai Elantra Blue Review

2011 Hyundai Elantra Blue Review
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.

2011 MazdaSpeed3 Review

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.

2011 Infiniti M37, M56 First Drive

2011 Infiniti M37, M56 First Drive
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.
