Test Drive: 2010 Mercedes-Benz GLK350Mercedes fashions a legit luxury on-road/off-road crossover SUV from the C-Class. |
Test Drive: 2009 Volkswagen CCThe VW CC is more satisfying than we ever thought it would be, in performance, comfort and style. |
Preview: 2009 Volkswagen GolfFor all its ambitions to move upmarket, there's still no more important car in VW's lineup than the basic Golf. This sixth-generation hatchback will again be offered in two- and four-door layouts, and a wide range of powerplants means there's a Golf for every need. |
Test Drive: 2009 Hyundai Sonata LimitedWe're trying to think of one good reason to buy the 2009 Hyundai Sonata Limited. The Hyundai Sonata Limited costs as much as the four-cylinder Chevrolet Malibu LTZ and only slightly less than the Honda Accord EX-L, but the Sonata Limited is not appointed as nicely as either of these competitors. The interior of the 2009 Hyundai Sonata Limited feels cheap in comparison and we're still trying to figure out what it is about this high-end Sonata that deserves the Limited tag. |
At Last, The Chevy Volt: Everything You Want to KnowChevrolet didn't just reveal a future model on the day of its 100th anniversary. It gave us a glimpse into the future of automobiles with our first look at the 2011 Chevy Volt. There's been a lot of anticipation, hype and rumors about the new Chevy Volt, but up until now, few facts have been available. The final production shape, what the interior will be like, and whether Chevrolet will meet its target of 40 miles on a single charge were all open ended questions. At last, we have answers. |
Review: 2009 Infiniti FX50 Test DriveThe 2009 Infiniti FX50 crossover has an identity crisis, one that stems from its very origins. Imagine you're an automotive engineer. Corporate bigwigs come to you one day and tell you to come up with a single platform upon which sports cars, sedans, sport coupes and crossover SUVs can be built. It's sort of like asking a chef to make a salad, soup, entrée and dessert using all the same ingredients. |
Test Drive: 2008 Honda S2000 CRThe Honda S2000 convertible sports car has never been for everybody. It is not designed to appeal to a broad spectrum of buyers. Its interior isn't laid out for optimum commuter efficiency. It does not deliver silky ride quality. It is as far from all things for all people as a car can get. The Honda S2000 does, however, kick some major butt. |
Overview: 2009 Dodge Ram 1500With its top-notch ride (for a truck), game-changing storage provisions and mighty Hemi V-8, the 2009 Dodge Ram is once again a must-see for truck shoppers. But, for class-leading capability, you'll need to look elsewhere. |
Review: 2009 Honda FitVersatility is the key to the 2009 Honda Fit. Few compact vehicles will accommodate four adults (although Honda claims five) as comfortably and the Magic Seat makes interior space configurable for hauling all sorts of items, long or tall. With surprising cargo capacity, roomy interior, and new safety features, the Honda Fit is a no-brainer for those looking for a compact, but useful little car. |
iPhone Road Test: 2008 Smart Passion CabrioletSmartphone, Smart Car, and a smart new way to test cars. The Smart Car and the Apple iPhone have a lot in common. Both have good looks, do far more than you'd expect, are cool to be seen with, are sought after by Hollywood's hottest celebrities, and both are something the average person can buy (after you get through the waiting list). There are so many similarities that we decided to use an Apple iPhone 3G loaded with the recently available application "Dynolicious" to test our Smart Car -- the first full iPhone road test in road test history. |
Review: 2009 Nissan MaximaNissan tries to revive the Four-Door Sports Car . . . and comes oh so close. |
Expert Picks: Family SedansOne of the most frequently asked questions we get is, "What car would you drive?" It's a natural, of course. Since we drive so many cars, we have a good idea of what works and what doesn't. To help answer the inevitable, we've assembled our favorite family sedans. Starting with the EPA's market class ratings, we pared it down to 10 vehicles that get at least 4 stars from us. Some are expected, some are surprising . . . |
