With great looks and a great design, as well as a near-luxury interior and better than expected fuel-economy, the Sentra continues to hold its own against the competition.

2009 GMC SIERRA

2009 GMC SIERRA
Sibling to the popular Chevy Silverado, the Sierra has it’s own look but also gets the new-for-2008 six-speed transmission (on some models). Combined with a few other options it might just be the better bet.

2009 Hyundai Tucson

2009 Hyundai Tucson
With excellent safety features and a rock-bottom price, does this entry-level SUV still have what it takes to compete against newer models in the segment?

2009 Dodge Challenger SRT8

2009 Dodge Challenger SRT8
Do you remember your long hair? Do you remember your hair at all? Dodge’s Challenger SRT8 embodies all that is great about classic muscle and will bring you back to the good old days. Plus, it has plenty of modern engineering for today’s world.

2009 Toyota Matrix Review

2009 Toyota Matrix Review
The crossover was designed to be the ultimate automotive compromise, allowing for the utility that most people enjoy from a minivan or SUV but also driving characteristics, and more importantly fuel economy, of a car. The second generation Toyota Matrix is just that vehicle.

2009 Lexus LS600hL

2009 Lexus LS600hL
Lexus has been leading the pack in the premium hybrid market by offering hybrid powerplants in existing models that offer improved fuel mileage without compromising style, comfort or performance.

2009 Chevrolet Silverado

2009 Chevrolet Silverado
To keep up with competitors from Ford and Dodge, GM now offers a six-speed transmission along with a few other refreshed items. But is it enough to keep the Silverado at the top of the heap?

2008 Scion xD

2008 Scion xD
As the replacement to the bland and generally unloved xA, the 2008 Scion xD – with its tough exterior styling and funky interior – is positively cyberpunk cool by comparison. But will this newest Scion have what it takes to generate the kind of youth-oriented cult following the xB and tC have?

2009 BMW X5 xDrive35d First Drive

2009 BMW X5 xDrive35d First Drive
Diesel has long been associated with big rigs and pickup trucks in North America and shunned by those who drive anything else. BMW is out to change that opinion and educate us Westerners on what our European friends have been hip to for ages.

2009 Cadillac CTS-V

2009 Cadillac CTS-V
When Cadillac set out to build the second generation CTS-V they used the BMW M5 as a benchmark. After our street and track test we’re convinced this V has set a new standard.

2009 Hyundai Accent GLS 4-Door

2009 Hyundai Accent GLS 4-Door
Last year the Accent took home the top spot for JD Power’s Vehicle Dependability Study, but with all the new sub-compact cars on the market does the little Hyundai still have what it takes to be top consumer pick?

2009 Dodge Ram

2009 Dodge Ram
With GM and Ford building real work horses, Dodge has decided to continue refining the Ram for personal use. But is that the best policy in an economic climate where the only folks buying trucks are those who really need them?

2009 Nissan Altima

2009 Nissan Altima
Maybe it’s just us, but when’s the last time anyone bothered to shop beyond the best-selling Honda Accord and Toyota Camry models? If they did, they just may find this compelling Nissan.

2009 Dodge Viper ACR

2009 Dodge Viper ACR
With huge downforce, some weight reduction, and a carefully tweaked suspension, the boys at SRT have transformed the standard Viper Coupe into a street-legal race car that’ll club the competition.

Audi A3 2.0T

Audi A3 2.0T
With a significant range in models and prices, the front-wheel-drive A3 2.0T may be the cheapest Audi on the market but it comes with everything you might expect in a German car.
