2009 Infiniti FX50 Car Review Video

Join us as we test the all-new, second-generation, 2009 Infiniti FX on the mountain roads outside of San Diego, CA. We tested the 2009 FX50 Sport with the new 5.0L V8 that produces 390 horsepower at 6,500 rpm and 369 lb-ft of torque at 4,400 rpm. Don’t need that much power? Then [...]

2009 BMW X6 xDrive50i Car Review Video

We recently took the 2009 BMW X6 xDrive50i for a test drive in the Blue Ridge Mountains while visiting BMW’s Spartanburg manufacturing plant. Our Publisher, Charlie Romero, was quite impressed with this new segment, saying that the X6 could be the best-handling SUV from BMW. He even went so far as to say [...]

2008 Mercedes-Benz GL550 Video

Mercedes-Benz just added a new member to the GL-Class for 2008, the full-size GL550. The GL550, joining the GL450 and the diesel-powered GL320 CDI, is designed to represent the best the GL line can offer; nearly all previous options are now standard equipment on the new GL550. On the outside, the styling is [...]

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, [...]

2008 Toyota Land Cruiser Video

The 2008 Toyota Land Cruiser is quite the versatile full-size SUV with a luxurious interior, a redesigned/modernized exterior, three rows of seating, and full-time 4WD. The interior of the 2008 Land Cruiser has features that luxury vehicles have made necessities, like the cooler in the center console and a rear entertainment system.

Behind the [...]

2008 Toyota Sequoia First Drive

Size matters. Texans like their trucks and SUVs big, they like them powerful, and they like them tough. But, make no mistake; they also want luxury, comfort, and functionality.

A Texas family demands a lot from a full-size SUV, whether taking the kids and their friends to Friday night football, hauling a sports car for a [...]

2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon 4×4 Video

The 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon 4×4 is still one of the best off-road vehicles, even with its upgrade to four doors. Our tester came with the optional 4-speed automatic transmission and skid plate (only an $845 upgrade), perfect for the off-road enthusiast. The engine is a 3.8L V6 with 202 horsepower at [...]

2008 Volkswagen Touareg 2 Off-Road Video

You may remember the VW Touareg 2 from a little movie called The Bourne Ultimatum, but reality check: we aren’t bad-ass drivers like those in The Bourne Ultimatum. The ordinary driver is mostly likely using the Touareg 2 to haul families around or to off-road with friends, not to chase down targets. [...]

Playing With Nissan’s Tough Little Frontier at the Nissan Off-Road Experience

Nissan claims its little Frontier pickup has “class-leading” off-road capability-but pretty much every truck manufacturer makes those sorts of claims. Now, we’ve been mightily impressed with Nissan test products before, but our inherently skeptical natures still prevent us from taking any brand’s words at face value. Especially when we’d just finished flogging the big-dog Titan [...]
