2007 Hyundai Entourage
|
|
The plans for the Hyundai Entourage minivan were written up many months ago. Then they were unceremoniously torn out of Hyundai's product-plan book last summer when officials decided that the brand didn't need a minivan in today's crossover-happy market. But j... more

2007 Lincoln Navigator and Navigator L
|
|
The 2007 Lincoln Navigator joins the all-new Lincoln MKX crossover and the renamed MKZ sedan (known for 2006 as the Zephyr), but it eschews the alphanumeric and keeps its real name. A fussy set of grilles clumsily recalls Continentals and Marks of the 1960s, b... more

2007 Toyota Tundra
|
|
It's no secret that Toyota has been making a substantial effort of late to appear more American. Its recent entries into the premier leagues of good-ole-boy racing--first the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series and, more recently, the NASCAR Nextel Cup--attest quite... more

2006 Volkswagen GTI
|
|
When we first drove the new GTI more than a year ago (December 2004), it impressed us with its torquey, direct-injection turbo four-cylinder and solid chassis. It felt like a return to the formula that made the original 1983 GTI a cult icon for car nerds: a co... more

2007 Opel GT
|
|
The Pontiac Solstice has generated a lot of excitement here in America, and the Saturn Sky is set to join it on the streets this spring. But what about Europe? The mid-engine Opel Speedster is gone, and Pontiac and Saturn are non-existent on that continent. Th... more

2007 Mercedes-Benz SL-class
|
|
You'll have to look pretty hard to notice the changes to the Mercedes-Benz SL-class. Although the front and rear clips have been changed slightly, the car's shape remains the same, which is just fine with us. The real changes are under the skin, where power ou... more

2007 Porsche 911 997 Turbo
|
|
The 997 Turbo is the most extroverted 911. It wears a deep nasal air dam that eats snow for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert. The revised front end displays a light pattern consisting of LED indicators and sidelights plus small halogen foglamps. In additi... more
