2009 Nissan GT-R Car Review Video

The original Nissan GT-R was released as a trim level of the Skyline sedan in 1969. Briefly after that, the first GT-R coupe was introduced and produced until 1973. Sixteen years later, the GT-R was re-introduced into the Skyline lineup, known as the R32. The R32 featured the first application of a [...]

The sound of the 2009 Nissan GT-R

If you, like a lot of other people, don’t get a chance to drive the new Nissan GT-R, ride along with Roadfly.com as we take a fastlap around the Reno-Fernley Raceway. We mic’ed the GT-R’s engine so you can hear the power of this 480-horsepower supercar. The microphone was placed directly under the hood so [...]

Video of the 2009 Nissan GT-R at Reno-Fernley Raceway

Though the pre-sales started on February 4th, 2008 for the 2009 Nissan GT-R at 676 select “GT-R Certified” Nissan dealers worldwide, the GT-R won’t be on the road until July 2008. We, however, recently drove the all-new 2009 GT-R at the Reno-Fernley Raceway in Nevada and were quite impressed by this AWD supercar.

As the replacement for the Land Rover Discovery in 2005, the LR3 debuted with its predecessor’s off-road abilities but with more amenities that make the daily drive a bit more enjoyable. In our 2007 LR3 tester, the three sunroofs, built-in fridge in the center armrest, independent audio controls/headphone jacks for the 2nd and 3rd [...]

2008 Jaguar XJ Super V8: The Cat’s Meow

Jaguar’s XJ line is the epitome of tradition. The basic shape, with its classic long hood and deck, hasn’t changed much in the last few decades. The four circular headlights, the double-kidney grille, and the leaping cat are as recognizable as any set of automotive features on the road.

So when I clambered behind [...]

2008 Subaru Tribeca: Toeing the Line

For 2008, Subaru has significantly re-vamped its full-size Tribeca crossover SUV. The original Tribeca, released in 2005, was puzzlingly called the “B9 Tribeca” and featured what looked like an upside-down Alfa Romeo grille. For those of us with a sympathetic eye toward daring design, the car was fine the way it was. [...]

2008 Nissan Titan PRO-4X

In 2004, the brand-new Nissan Titan was the biggest, brawniest full-size truck from Japan. A 305-horsepower V8 and freight-train styling raised the game, and alerted Detroit to an attack on one of the last segments the American Big Three still dominated. It didn’t offer as much variety as the established lines from Ford, [...]

2007 Lexus GS450h Video

The 2007 Lexus GS450h represents a new era in the hybrid car category: a hybrid with a luxury sport sedan’s performance. However, it’s going to cost you: the price of the Lexus GS450h starts at $54,900 but if you add features like the touch-screen navigation system and Mark Levinson audio system, [...]

2008 Subaru Tribeca Video

In its third year of production, the 2008 Subaru Tribeca has come a long way from the original 2006 B9 Tribeca. With styling changes equivalent to allowing Ty Pennington to makeover your home, the 2008 Tribeca (noticeably missing the B9 moniker) has responded to the public’s initial and unkind complaints about styling.

Performance-wise, the 5-speed [...]

2008 Jaguar XJ Super V8 Video

Essentially a long wheelbase, supercharged, more upscale XJ8, the XJ Super V8 first debuted in Europe in 2003, boasting the new X350 body style.
