Laura Burkholder — Tue, 24 Mar 2009 00:41:51 +0000

Join us as we test the 2009 Land Rover LR2. Sibling to the LR3 and the Range Rover, the LR2 can be described as the baby of the family, both in price and size.

The LR2 uses the same engine that is found in Volvo’s XC90 and S80, [...]

2008 Lexus GS 460 Powers into the Luxury Sport Segment

Alan Riley — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 13:52:12 +0000

In the 18 years since the Lexus brand was introduced in the U.S., it has shown that luxury, performance, and reliability are not mutually exclusive. Although the top-of-the-line LS model is no slouch when it comes to performance, for the enthusiast, there is no substitute for the GS. For [...]

2009 Nissan Murano: “Murano-ness” Exemplified

Brian Armstead — Mon, 04 Feb 2008 22:45:41 +0000

Driving the all-new 2009 Nissan Murano, I had a flashback to winter, 2002, when a blizzard struck the Washington, D.C. area. My niece, who suffers from Sickle Cell Anemia, was having a crisis, and had to be quickly transported to Children’s Hospital in Washington. The only problem [...]

The Toyota Highlander has been upgraded for 2008 model year, growing taller, wider and longer by offering 95.4 cubic feet of total cargo capacity, an increase from the predecessor’s 81.6 cubic feet. The Highlander has really packed on the pounds with the added cargo space and some of the [...]

2008 Jaguar XJ Super V8: The Cat’s Meow

Ross Rapoport — Mon, 07 Jan 2008 18:28:04 +0000

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 [...]

2008 Subaru Tribeca: Toeing the Line

Charlie Romero — Fri, 04 Jan 2008 23:24:43 +0000

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 [...]

2008 Subaru Tribeca Video

Laura Burkholder — Fri, 28 Dec 2007 22:36:48 +0000

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 [...]

2008 Jaguar XJ Super V8 Video

Laura Burkholder — Thu, 27 Dec 2007 22:44:27 +0000

Essentially a long wheelbase, supercharged, more upscale XJ8, the XJ Super V8 first debuted in Europe in 2003, boasting the new X350 body style. The Jaguar XJ Super V8 represents one of the fastest and most expensive members of the XJ family with its supercharged 4.2L V8 engine (mated [...]

2008 Subaru Outback 2.5 XT Limited – A Wolf in Billy Goat’s Clothing

Ross Rapoport — Fri, 07 Dec 2007 20:40:04 +0000

Starting this article is tough. There is no way to properly set my reader up for the surprise I experienced lately without sounding contrived or hucksterish. This experience came behind the wheel of Subaru’s Outback wagon, specifically the 243-hp 2.5 XT variant with the 2.5-liter turbocharged ‘boxer’ four [...]

Laura Burkholder — Mon, 03 Dec 2007 20:30:11 +0000

The 2007 Mercedes-Benz SLK350 proved to be the perfect mix of performance, style, and luxury at the right price. Our 6-speed manual transmission tester, with $10,000 worth of options like navigation and heated seats, topped out at $57,835, with the base price starting at $47,400. The SLK350, electronically [...]

2007 Mercedes-Benz SLK350 Car Review

Ross Rapoport — Mon, 12 Nov 2007 19:48:46 +0000

The Mercedes-Benz SLK roadster is perhaps the standard-bearer for the quadroon of small, sporty German drop-tops. It debuted in 1997, with a revolutionary power folding hardtop and styling that was drop-dead gorgeous. It was visually superior to the BMW Z3 and the Porsche Boxster, but not as dynamic [...]

BMW Alpina B7 Video

Laura Burkholder — Wed, 12 Sep 2007 15:48:35 +0000

Charlie Romero recently had the opportunity to test drive the 2007 BMW Alpina B7 at Pocono Raceway. The 4.4L supercharged V8 handled like a sports car, despite its large size. Priced around $120,000, the B7 may not be affordable for everyone, but with the sexy Alpina styling, 500hp, [...]
