2007 Volkswagen Touareg
|
|
While it would appear that only three parts-two headlights and a grille-have been changed to freshen the Touareg for 2007, Volkswagen clams that they've added more than 2300 redesigned parts. It's what's inside that counts, right? After all, that's where the o... more

2007 BMW X3
|
|
When the BMW X3 debuted back in early 2004, it seemed to be an anachronism: an upscale, premium-branded, premium-priced, small sport-utility. After all, the Land Rover Freelander had landed like a thud in our market and was on its way to hiatus status. It turn... more

2009 Audi Q7 V-12 TDI

Six liters, 500 horsepower, and 737 lb-ft of torque. Those are absurd numbers, and they're destined to forever be associated with an absurd--and yet strangely awesome--piece of machinery: the Audi Q7 V-12 TDI. (Say that three times fast.) There's no word on rel... more
