2007 Acura MDX
|
|
DRIVEN! The first-generation MDX was carefully tailored for a specific customer that Acura called "Stylish Mom," a familiar archetype you might know better as "Soccer Mom." The company's goal for MDX version 2.0 is to keep her in the fold while also convincing... more

2007 Aston Martin DBS
|
|
Mr. Bond is back in the driver's seat of an Aston Martin for the second movie in a row, and we expect the car to show up at the Paris show, too. Taking a place next to the Die Another Day Vanquish in the MI6 garage is the DBS shown here. What looks to be a gus... more

2007 Citroen C9
|
|
It's been a long time since we've had any indication that the Europeans are interested in SUVs. With the C9, that drought has ended. Citroen co-developed the C9 with the help of Mitsubishi Motors, and the Picasso shares its platform with the upcoming Peugeot 7... more

2007 Citroen C4 Picasso
|
|
Yes, that's right: for years, Citroen has been branding its minivans (excuse us: MPVs) with the Picasso name, and this one is no different. For the most part, though, they've had interesting, futuristic styling and practical, well-thought-out interiors-so it w... more

2007 Bentley Arnage T
|
|
For discerning customers who take comfort in the classics, the Arnage is still ensconced atop the Bentley lineup, costing almost half again as much as the arriviste, $176,285 Continental Flying Spur. Whereas the newer sedan's unusual (and Volkswagen developed)... more

2007 Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione
|
|
If this big red chunk of hotness looks familiar, it's probably because you've seen it before: Alfa unveiled a concept version of the Competizione at the Frankfurt show in 2003. That look-but-don't-drive concept pretty much blew everyone's minds (the headlights... more

2007 Porsche Cayman
|
|
The new Cayman (minus the S) is not the lightest, cheapest, or cutest, Porsche, but it may be the smartest one to buy. What the 245-hp, 2.7-liter flat six lacks in low-end vim it more than makes up in 7300-rpm vigor; lighter engine internals and electric throt... more

2007 Mercedes-Benz CL-class and CL63 AMG
|
|
Mercedes-Benz's redesigned megacoupe adapts the style of the new S-class sedan while incorporating characteristic elements such as the pillarless hardtop greenhouse; thin, elegant c-pillars; and a low, wide grille with an integrated star. The interior matches... more

2007 Jaguar XKR Coupe and Convertible
|
|
The subtle whine of the supercharger and the healthy growl of the exhaust motivate you to keep the transmission one gear lower than necessary. The well-damped suspension perfectly modulated the optional twenty-inch wheels over rough sections of tarmac, and the... more

2007 Chrysler Sebring Sedan
|
|
The last generation Sebring long ago disappeared into the sludge of the mid-size sedan market, so unremarkable were its dynamics and so anodyne was its styling. The new Sebring, with its pastiche of design cues from other Chryslers, including the Crossfire, is... more
