2010 Volkswagen Routan

Posted: 22 Feb 2010 10:31 AM PST

VW calls the Routan the "Volkswagen of minivans," and it wears its corporate identity clearly on its exterior. The attractive front end pairs a large VW logo with monochrome bumpers that give it more curb appeal than its platform-mates at Dodge or Chrysler, though the resemblance remains apparent. Car and Driver says the Routan "still looks like a...


2010 Volkswagen Routan Bottom Line

Posted: 22 Feb 2010 10:12 AM PST

Leaning on Dodge's Grand Caravan for basis of the Routan minivan, Volkswagen taps into a core American market. Well-equipped and offering a competitive set of features and abilities, the 2010 Volkswagen Routan presents an attractive package-but it's best when upgraded. New for 2010 is the addition of standard satellite navigation on SEL and SEL...

The 2010 Lexus LX 570 is the third year of the new design first released in 2008. With exterior styling cues that'll let observers know it's a Lexus without hitting them over the head with its size, the LX 570's exterior design strikes an organic balance.

2011 Hyundai Sonata Bottom Line

Posted: 22 Feb 2010 09:00 AM PST

It's true in cars as it's true in politics—to rise above the clutter, you need to make a dramatic statement. While Hyundai won't be telling anyone it can "see Russia from its house!" anytime soon, it is giving its mainstream, mid-size Sonata a refreshing new look and a new mission. The goal: dislodge some Nissan Altima and Ford Fusion buyers...


2010 Nissan Altima - Altima Coupe - Altima Hybrid

Posted: 21 Feb 2010 07:34 PM PST

Even though it's been more than three years since the Altima sedan's complete redesign, it remains one of the better-looking mid-size four-doors on the market. Attribute that to its racy profile and relative simplicity in the details; unlike some other sedans, the Altima doesn't come across as overwrought. The Hybrid looks almost indistinguishable...


2010 Nissan Altima - Altima Coupe - Altima Hybrid Bottom Line

Posted: 21 Feb 2010 07:23 PM PST

The Nissan Altima remains different from most other mid-size models on several levels. First, it offers (in sedan form) a limited-availability Hybrid model, as well as four-cylinder and V-6 models. Secondly, it has a sleek coupe body style in addition to the four-door sedan. The Altima was last completely redesigned for the 2007 model year and...


2010 Volvo S80

Posted: 21 Feb 2010 07:03 PM PST

The S80 has a conservative look from the outside, with a profile and details that play it a little too safe, in the opinion of the editors. Volvo has taken a different direction with its vehicles for a decade or more now, but it's no longer a new look on the outside. Cars.com says that although with the S80 "Volvo has shaken the boxy look it made...


2010 Volvo S80 Bottom Line

Posted: 21 Feb 2010 07:01 PM PST

As the flagship model and largest sedan in Volvo's lineup, the 2010 Volvo S80 places a clear priority on comfort, safety, and technology over outright sportiness. However, it's still possible to imbue the S80 with a performance edge with either the turbocharged T6 model or the V-8 model. The S80 has a conservative look from the outside; its...
