2007 Acura RDX Car Review
Delivering a convincing combination of performance and functionality—topped off by a premium badge and numerous features—there isn't much not to like about the Acura RDX. 2008 Audi A5 Car Review Coupe fans shopping for a well-rounded package with high-profile looks, impressive performance and plenty of practicality are going to find a lot to like in the new Audi A5. 2008 Dodge Ram 2500 Mega Cab Car Review Anyone who regularly needs the services of a rugged, high-capacity pickup with excellent powertrain choices, lots of room and stellar towing capabilities should find some iteration of the Dodge Ram 2500 or 3500 worth considering. 2008 Dodge Ram 2500 Quad Cab Car Review Anyone who regularly needs the services of a rugged, high-capacity pickup with excellent powertrain choices, lots of room and stellar towing capabilities should find some iteration of the Dodge Ram 2500 or 3500 worth considering. 2008 Dodge Ram 2500 Regular Cab Car Review Anyone who regularly needs the services of a rugged, high-capacity pickup with excellent powertrain choices, lots of room and stellar towing capabilities should find some iteration of the Dodge Ram 2500 or 3500 worth considering. 2008 Dodge Ram 3500 Mega Cab Car Review Anyone who regularly needs the services of a rugged, high-capacity pickup with excellent powertrain choices, lots of room and stellar towing capabilities should find some iteration of the Dodge Ram 2500 or 3500 worth considering. 2008 Dodge Ram 3500 Quad Cab Car Review Anyone who regularly needs the services of a rugged, high-capacity pickup with excellent powertrain choices, lots of room and stellar towing capabilities should find some iteration of the Dodge Ram 2500 or 3500 worth considering. 2008 Dodge Ram 3500 Regular Cab Car Review Anyone who regularly needs the services of a rugged, high-capacity pickup with excellent powertrain choices, lots of room and stellar towing capabilities should find some iteration of the Dodge Ram 2500 or 3500 worth considering. 2009 Mitsubishi Eclipse Car Review You'll like the Eclipse Coupe if you are looking for an affordable, sporty-styled, modern-looking two-door that offers a substantial level of fun-to-drive performance in a moderately-priced front-wheel-drive vehicle. 2009 Mitsubishi Galant Car Review If you're looking for a family sedan with a plush interior, a racy exterior and a nice big back seat, the 2009 Mitsubishi Galant should be on your shopping list. The Ralliart trim delivers surprisingly good off-the-line performance and handling capability. 2009 Mitsubishi Lancer Car Review The 2009 Mitsubishi Lancer will prove most appealing to those who appreciate both its sporty demeanor and the combination of in-cabin technology features not offered by any other car in the category. 2009 Nissan Armada Car Review If your kids are all about high-tech gadgetry and love on-board toys, the Armada has you covered. An exceptionally powerful V8 is standard – great news for those who need to tow. Standard safety features include side-curtain airbags for all three rows. 2009 Volkswagen Tiguan Car Review If you're looking to move out of your big SUV, but still need a vehicle that can haul a fair amount of cargo, comfortably hold four passengers and has plenty of power on hand, the new 2009 Volkswagen Tiguan makes for a painless transition. 2008 BMW M3 Car Review If you are already a BMW 3 Series or M3 enthusiast, this latest M3 is easily the best yet. If its hefty sticker is within your reach, you'll delight in its raw performance, racer-like handling, sophisticated electronic features and, yes, its long-established and well-deserved king-of-the-hill reputation. 2008 Maserati Quattroporte Car Review If you're looking for an exclusive luxury sport sedan that melds a uniquely Italian sense of style and grace with excellent performance, the Quattroporte is where you belong. 2007 Acura MDX Car Review The perfectly practical MDX is also the most powerful, most tech-savvy V6 SUV on the road, giving it assured access to the top tier of any premium midsize SUV shopping list. 2007 Acura RL Car Review If you're a technology junkie, the RL showcases the latest automotive high-tech gadgetry in an attractive package that is both user-friendly and semi-intuitive. Drivers who prefer razor-sharp handling to straight-line performance will love the RL's Super Handling All-Wheel Drive (SH-AWD). 2008 Porsche Boxster Car Review The 2008 Boxster carries on the legacy of Porsche's legendary 550 Spyder and 356 Speedster in a thoroughly modern convertible format that combines day-to-day utility with performance and handling that rival more exotic machinery. Either model, but especially the basic Boxster, provides all the benefits of belonging to one of motoring's more exclusive clubs without paying excessive dues. 2007 Mazda Miata MX-5 Car Review If brutal winters make owning a soft-top car a nightmare, the MX-5's new retractable hardtop is a dream come true. The MX-5's excellent fuel economy makes it a viable commuter car for those looking to leave their gas-thirsty SUVs at home. Driving enthusiasts and SCCA members love its wonderful handling and overall nimble performance. 2007 Toyota Tacoma Car Review If you're looking for a capable pickup larger than a Ford Ranger, but not as massive as a Dodge Ram, look into the Tacoma. When it comes to reliability in this segment, many organizations rank it at the top of its class. 2007 Toyota Camry Car Review If you want a safe choice of a much-improved but still conservative mainstream mid-size Japanese family sedan, the new Toyota Camry is for you. 2007 Jaguar XK Car Review If you want a car with performance, style, room in the back seat and extra space in the trunk, you'll appreciate the XK Convertible. Along with all those luxury features, the XK has huge star power and draws envious stares. 2007 Mercedes-Benz GL-Class Car Review If you want the benefits of Mercedes engineering (they did, after all, invent the automobile), German build quality and American-style accommodation, the GL450 delivers in spades. In a manner similar to Nissan's Armada—although with substantially more refinement—Mercedes splits the dimensional difference between General Motors' Tahoe/Yukon/Escalade and their stretched variants. 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer Car Review The all-new Lancer will prove most appealing to those who appreciate both its sporty demeanor and the combination of in-cabin technology not offered by any other car in the category. 2008 Honda Accord Car Review The 2008 Honda Accord Coupe straddles the sporty-or-sensible divide as well as any car in its segment. It's quick and responsive enough to satisfy all but the hard-core enthusiasts, and its rear seat and trunk are large enough that it makes a great daily driver. 2008 Infiniti EX35 Car Review If you like the idea of a comfortable, technology-driven show horse that can also perform on the road, then you'll like the EX35's smooth 297-horsepower V6 and industry-first technologies. 2008 BMW 128 Car Review If you think smaller and lighter cars tend to be the most fun, we think you'll like the 2008 BMW 1 Series Convertible. It features a quiet, well insulated top and excellent top-down air-flow management, freeing it from the vices that commonly plague convertibles. 2008 BMW 135 Car Review If you think smaller and lighter cars tend to be the most fun, we think you'll like the 2008 BMW 1 Series Convertible. It features a quiet, well insulated top and excellent top-down air-flow management, freeing it from the vices that commonly plague convertibles. 2008 Chevrolet Cobalt Car Review You'll like the 2008 Chevrolet Cobalt SS if you want a quick, competent coupe that's free of the flamboyant styling often found in sporty small cars. Also, those concerned about fuel economy will appreciate the Cobalt SS's 30-mile-per-gallon EPA highway fuel economy rating. 2008 Infiniti QX56 Car Review If your personal priorities in an SUV skew towards a stylish, comfortable, featured-packed interior and you need the power to tow serious payloads, the QX56 would be well worth considering. 2008 Mitsubishi Raider Double Cab Car Review Mitsubishi designed this Raider to be the alternative to SUVs for what the company calls the "fun-seeking adventurer." Though it's not a Lancer Evo, the rock star of the Mitsubishi lineup, the Raider has crisp, muscular lines and a "second look" appeal. The price is also pleasing, starting around $20,000. 2008 Mitsubishi Raider Extended Cab Car Review Mitsubishi designed this Raider to be the alternative to SUVs for what the company calls the "fun-seeking adventurer." Though it's not a Lancer Evo, the rock star of the Mitsubishi lineup, the Raider has crisp, muscular lines and a "second look" appeal. The price is also pleasing, starting around $20,000. 2008 Volvo S80 Car Review Buyers who believe that functional luxury and state-of-the-art safety systems outweigh the inherent status appeal of a traditional prestige nameplate can expect to find their transportation and aspirational needs well met by any member of the S80 lineup. 2008 Volvo V70 Car Review Wagon buyers who want a comfortable, practical and stylish vehicle with outstanding safety features should be impressed with what the new V70 package has to offer. 2008 Subaru Impreza Car Review The 2008 Subaru Impreza WRX STI remains the perfect car for those who rank ultimate point-to-point speed very highly but are unwilling to compromise utility and all-weather drivability to get it. The 2008 model adds utility and creature comforts without changing its heavily performance-oriented mission statement. 2009 Nissan Murano Car Review The 2009 Nissan Murano offers a more luxurious, higher-quality interior than the Ford Edge and is bigger the Mazda CX-7. 2008 Acura MDX Car Review The perfectly practical MDX is also the most powerful, most tech-savvy V6 SUV on the road, giving it assured access to the top tier of any premium midsize SUV shopping list. 2008 Ford Escape Car Review If you're looking for traditional SUV features, such as high ground clearance and a high seating position, but you want it in a smaller, more fuel-efficient package, the 2008 Ford Escape makes a good choice. 2008 Mercury Mariner Car Review If you're in the market for a small SUV and would like the option of a V6 engine or hybrid powertrain, and with more refined styling than the Ford Escape, the 2008 Mercury Mariner would be worth a look. 2008 Lexus LX 570 Car Review If you're looking for Lexus ride and interior quality teamed with off-road and towing capabilities, the 2008 LX 570 can fulfill your needs. The third-row seating and ample rear cargo room come in handy for extra passengers and hauling large items. 2008 Nissan 350Z Car Review If you're looking for a rear-wheel-drive sports car that offers scintillating performance, head-turning style, impressive amenities and an excellent price-to-value index, the 350Z Coupe should be high on your must-drive list. 2009 Dodge Journey Car Review If you're looking for minivan utility and storage space, without the minivan look, the Journey is a viable option. With its available third-row seating, it offers more room than the Ford Escape and Chevy Equinox. 2008 Chevrolet Corvette Car Review Whether you're a long-time Corvette enthusiast or never considered one before, if a brutally fast yet civilized two-seater tops your want list, and this best-ever ultimate high-performance Corvette is within your reach, you can't go wrong with the 2008. 2008 Kia Optima Car Review If you're looking for a four-door sedan with responsive driving characteristics, a lot of features and an attractive price, the 2008 Kia Optima should be on your shopping list. It's handsome, offers impressive safety features and represents a good value for the money. 2008 Kia Rondo Car Review Matching versatility, value, safety and security, the 2008 Kia Rondo is a decidedly attractive choice for anyone in a one-vehicle household. The top-line EX, particularly when upgraded with the optional Leather and Premium Packages, makes a very inviting daily driver. 2008 Lexus LS 600h Car Review Technology lovers may fall hard for the 2008 Lexus LS 600h L, which has just about every electronic helper imaginable, either standard or as an option. Folks with fat wallets who value smooth and effortless driving, but prefer their luxuries accompanied by a taste of environmental friendliness, may lean toward this big sedan. 2008 Smart fortwo Car Review If you like the idea of driving a car that turns heads and starts conversations, or if you face parking challenges on a regular basis, the fortwo may be for you. The fortwo cabriolet boasts the added advantage of being the most affordable convertible available. 2008 Volvo C30 Car Review If you're willing to trade off a bit of conventional station wagon utility for a look that will definitely turn heads, the new 2008 Volvo C30's approach to style, comfort and performance could make it a very appealing alternative.

We get all family-friendly and pit the redesigned 2009 Honda Pilot against the 2008 Mazda CX-9 and 2008 Toyota Highlander. Where's the 2008 Saturn Outlook? Uh, don't ask.
We drive the Renault F1 car at the Paul Ricard Circuit in France, proving that 700 hp and miraculous aerodynamics deliver an experience that every driver dreams about.
Is it a gutsy move or tragic timing? Kia launches the 2009 Kia Borrego, a seven-passenger, body-on-frame SUV with an optional V8. We like it better than the Ford Explorer.
When you say "hybrid," the 2008 Toyota Prius comes to mind. But how does it measure up to the Toyota Camry Hybrid sitting nearby in the same Toyota showroom?
Its debut is imminent, so the camouflage is starting to come off the 2009 BMW 7 Series prototypes. See them in action in our latest spy video from the Nurburgring.
