Review: 2008 Lexus LX570 The 2008 LX 570 boasts a 5.7-liter V8 engine and a six-speed automatic transmission that makes more than 100 horsepower and almost 100 more lb.-ft. of torque at a lower rev range than the previous LX. That has happy benefits all the way around, from towing to off-road performance and overall performance. Tags: lexus luxury lx lx570 offroad suv |

Review: 2008 Honda S2000CR When one of the most loved "regular guy" sports cars grows a club racer trim, why, there's plenty to be happy about what that will do to your weekend drives. Given that the S2000 CR has what looks like even tighter seats, a shifter with shorter throws and a stiffer ride, it's not the car you want to take to the offiec unless you plan to leave early and avoid rush hour.

Spy Video: 2009 BMW Z4 Today I was in the right place at the right time and able to see the next Z4 up close and in person. Driving along the famous 405 freeway in Orange County, California, I detected a car approaching from behind that looked a little out of place. I reduced my speed and allowed it to catch up -- instantly recognizing it as the future BMW Z4 as it closed the distance between us. Tags: 2009 bmw spy video z4 |

Review: Nissan GT-R I was deep into triple digits when it finally sank in just how good the 2009 Nissan GT-R really is. Yes, I'd already racked up a good 500 miles or so, and yes, I'd already been seduced by its raw power. But when your velocity already equals the take off speed of a Boeing 737 and you're still accelerating hard, well, certain things become clear.

Review: 2008 Saturn Astra The Saturn Astra is an all-new car. At least it's new to the American automotive landscape: Astra has been offered for years in Europe under the Opel flag, where it's been giving the VW Golf a run for top-seller bragging rights. The new Astra is so much better in every respect than the Saturn model it replaces that we've forgotten the earlier compact's name. Tags: astra compact gm saturn |

Review: 2008 Nissan Rogue The base level Rogue comes well equipped, with power accessories, air conditioning, and a decent sounding audio system. The drivetrain is also good, with Nissan?s peppy 2.5-liter four-banger mated to the company's ubiquitous continuously variable transmission. Nissan does CVTs in everything, and is arguably better at it than anybody else, as proven in the Rogue. Tags: crossover nissan rogue suv |

Review: 2008 Mazda MX-5 Miata PRHT Power retractable hardtops are all the rage in Europe, where unpredictable weather and street parking in the major cities can put convertible owners at risk to the elements and thieves. Increasingly, such designs are making their way to North America, led nearly a decade ago by the Mercedes-Benz SLK 230. For 2007, Mazda adds one to its iconic Miata roadster.

Review: 2009 Dodge Journey Dodge brand's first crossover vehicle, the midsize Journey combines attractive styling, a smooth ride, confident handling, and a long list of clever details into a package that bodes well for the brand as a whole. Add a sub-$20,000 starting price and Chrysler?s new ?lifetime? powertrain warranty and we think this new crossover should go a long way towards attracting buyers that may not have considered the brand?s products in the past.
