2007 Toyota Tundra Full Review: Too Much of a Good Thing

The 2007 Toyota Tundra is one of those vehicles that provoke the same reaction no matter how many times you drive them. In the Roadfly office, that reaction was either a shaking head or a silly grin.

Why, you ask? Well…this is just an incredible vehicle. There’s no [...]

The 2007 Volvo XC90: A Safe, Smart Choice

The Volvo XC90 is a special kind of sport utility vehicle. It’s not really for everyone; so if you’re after a boring, assimilating crossover utility, you better look somewhere else.

2007 Lincoln MKZ: Almost Perfect…

For some of us here at Roadfly, the 2007 Lincoln MKZ was one of the most anticipated vehicles of the year. We’ve reviewed a good number of Fords lately, and have raved especially loudly about the new corporate 3.5-liter V6 found in the Blue Oval’s crossover utility vehicles. [...]

2007 Chrysler Pacifica: An Evolved Pioneer

When it was introduced in 2003, the Chrysler Pacifica was a groundbreaking vehicle. It drew on minivan and SUV heritage, and was one of the first crossover utility vehicles to hit the market.

2007 Lincoln Navigator L: Alternative Excess

When the 2007 Lincoln Navigator L trawled into Roadfly’s parking lot, this correspondent was struck at how audacious Lincoln was to produce such a vehicle.

The 2007 Lincoln MKX AWD: Over The Edge

Car-based, ‘crossover’ utility vehicles are the future of SUVs – any observer of the automotive world can see that. They offer better performance and economy than traditional truck-based SUVs, and Japanese manufacturers have been mining car-based gold for years.

Toyota RAV4: Hauling in Every Sense of the Word

At Roadfly’s offices in Northern Virginia, just a few miles outside Washington, D.C., we greeted the arrival of the 2007 Toyota RAV4 with some excitement. There were two reasons for this. Firstly, our area was about to be hit by a winter storm that would paralyze the [...]

Another Giant Leap for Hyundai: The 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe

Hyundai is still establishing itself, and its models have [...]

2007 Cadillac Escalade: All New and Elegantly Refined

The all new Cadillac Escalade has gotten bigger, badder, and more refined for 2007.

A new flush-mounted grill and a blinding assembly of LEDs in back give the new Escalade a [...]

The 2007 Toyota Yaris Sedan: A Fresh Start

2007 Toyota Prius: The Future

The Toyota Prius is the future. This may sound like an odd statement regarding a car that’s been on the worldwide market since the year 2000, but spend a little time with this hybrid machine and you’ll understand why.

The Prius was redesigned for 2004, and became a mid-size car [...]

2007 Chevrolet Suburban 4WD LT E85: Corn Conundrum

As we all know by now, there’s a move on to find alternative sources of fuel for America’s car and truck crazed culture. Hybrid? Maybe. Full electric? Been there, done that. Not going to happen any time soon in the U.S. Hydrogen power? [...]
