2010 Chevrolet Camaro

It may have the looks, but with a V6 engine, good gas mileage and a comfortable ride, the new Camaro is no sports car. And those are it’s good attributes.

2010 Mitsubishi Lancer GTS Sportback: First Drive

2010 Mitsubishi Lancer GTS Sportback: First Drive
If you don’t want or need the super performance of Mitsubishi’s Lancer Evolution and Ralliart models, the Lancer GTS may be more up your alley with similar good looks, a lower price and decent performance. The more practical GTS model gets even more functional with the new Sportback version.

2009 Lexus LX 570

2009 Lexus LX 570
It may be a honkin’-big SUV with a powerful V8, off-road capability and excellent towing capability, but with car-like driving dynamics and a luxury interior, the LX570 puts most crossovers to shame.

2009 Volvo XC70

2009 Volvo XC70
Both impressive to look at and ride in, the safe-as-a-vault XC70 also weighs as much as one, putting a strain on the turbocharged six-cylinder.

2009 BMW 750i

2009 BMW 750i
With a great new look, a significantly more powerful twin-turbo V8 engine and, most importantly, a revised and easy to use iDrive system, what’s not to love about the new 750i?

2010 Mustang Convertible

2010 Mustang Convertible
With convertible models becoming increasingly rare, it’s next to impossible to find one that delivers handling and horsepower at an affordable price. That’s why Ford’s all new 2010 Mustang drop-top is certain to be a success.

2009 Mitsubishi Eclipse

2009 Mitsubishi Eclipse
The fact that Misubishi’s Eclipse is based on the same platform that underpins its Endeavor crossover should give you a hint at how it performs as a sports car.

2009 Volkswagen Jetta TDI

2009 Volkswagen Jetta TDI
After a two year absence Volkswagen brings back the diesel Jetta, but in those two years hybrids have made tremendous inroads into the hearts and minds of Americans. Can the TDI reclaim its former glory? Or does it need more to succeed?

2009 Toyota Yaris

2009 Toyota Yaris
As Toyota’s entry-level vehicle the Yaris is a step above taking the bus. It has an easy-at-the-pump 4-cylinder and while it may be basic, it gives freedom on four wheels at an attractive asking price.

2009 Ford Edge

2009 Ford Edge
Ford’s Edge crossover combines the best of an SUV and a mid-sized sedan with a great look and a host of unique features.

2009 Toyota Venza Review

2009 Toyota Venza Review
With the Venza, Toyota is asking a question. Would you pay a several thousand-dollar premium for a more functional (and cooler looking) Camry?

2009 Cadillac Escalade Hybrid

2009 Cadillac Escalade Hybrid
Attempting to minimize the gas guzzling stigma of the Escalade, the Hybrid version of the mammoth SUV might not win any awards from GreenPeace but it does give remarkable fuel-savings in the city. Too bad the interior isn’t up to premium standards.

2009 Nissan Quest

2009 Nissan Quest
With its supermodel good looks… Just kidding! The Nissan Quest has a lot of attractive features, even if the package it’s wrapped in isn’t all that appealing.

2009 SMART fortwo Review

2009 SMART fortwo Review
The Smart fortwo is one-in-a-million. Sure there are other cars in the same price range (or even lower), but none offer the premium appeal of this micro-car.

2009 Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart Review

2009 Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart Review
People always want what they can’t have. Roughly a decade ago, American car enthusiasts wanted the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution – and they wanted it bad. In 2003, it finally arrived, albeit a little watered down from the home market counterpart. Since then, the Evolution has become a mainstay among the enthusiast community.

2009 Audi TTS

2009 Audi TTS
The TTS is what the TT always aspired to be. Thanks to a lightweight turbocharged 2.0-liter engine with lots of torque, it has the power, looks and driving dynamics to compete with those other German sports cars.

2010 Mazda Mazda3

2010 Mazda Mazda3
Other than the shocking new design for the front end, the 2010 Mazda3 is more like a significant mid-cycle update than an all-new car, which is smart, because there was so much right with the original.

2010 Volvo XC60 First Drive

2010 Volvo XC60 First Drive
The XC60 is a whole new vehicle from Volvo and underneath that sheetmetal there’s a brand new safety idea – City Safety automatic braking for accident avoidance. We even went so far as to test it against a brick wall!
