| Posted: 09 Jan 2010 10:58 AM PST  Overall, the G37's rakish silhouette has remained untouched, and that's a good thing. With a coupelike roofline and a lean, low profile, the G37 flaunts a clean and nicely proportioned profile, with plenty of clean sheetmetal—eschewing the excessive body creases that are so common now. A new front fascia and new-design headlights are paired with a...

| 2010 Infiniti G37 Sedan Bottom Line Posted: 09 Jan 2010 10:56 AM PST Infiniti won't leave a good thing alone, yet it keeps making it better, so we can't complain. The G Sedan was redesigned for 2007, then it picked up a more powerful 3.7-liter V-6 and seven-speed automatic for 2009 (and a name change to G37). Now for 2010, the G37 Sedan already gets a mid-cycle refresh, with a new front and rear appearance...

| Posted: 09 Jan 2010 10:50 AM PST  Although the Galant has seen a number of minor refreshes over the years, it's been carried over for the most part since its last major redesign, for 2004. With most mid-size sedans seeing one (some two) redesigns since then, it feels a little outdated from a style standpoint, to put it nicely. Last year Mitsubishi gave it a new lower grille mesh...

| 2010 Mitsubishi Galant Bottom Line Posted: 09 Jan 2010 10:38 AM PST The 2010 Mitsubishi Galant limps on for another year, with its lineup quite dramatically cut. V-6 models, along with the performance Ralliart model, have been dropped from the lineup, leaving only four-cylinder ES and SE models of this mid-size sedan. Although the Galant has seen a number of minor refreshes over the years, it's been carried over...

| Posted: 09 Jan 2010 10:32 AM PST  Far from a completely new idea, the GT-R descends from a long line of Japanese-market Skyline sports cars. Nissan made a smart choice in bringing this one to the United States, as it's one of the best-looking versions yet. With a more conservative, minimalist look, the GT-R's design shows a lot more restraint next to flamboyant, sensuous Italian...

| Posted: 09 Jan 2010 10:29 AM PST With its tremendous twin-turbo V-6 engine, all-wheel drive, and automated manual transmission, the 2010 Nissan GT-R is a supercar in all but the price tag. To those who don't mind the modest cachet, the four-seat GT-R is a bargain Bugatti Veyron at less than one-tenth the price. Far from a completely new idea, the GT-R descends from a long line of...
 |
| Posted: 09 Jan 2010 10:23 AM PST  With its flared fenders, chunky contours, and various other bulges around the wheel wells and hood, combined with a very upright profile, the 2010 Nissan Armada looks imposing and even aggressive, some might say. A prominent pillar at the back of the rear door almost makes the Armada look like a pickup variant, yet it also harkens back to Nissan's...
 |
| 2010 Nissan Armada Bottom Line Posted: 09 Jan 2010 10:20 AM PST An imposing stance and rugged, macho styling cues separate the 2010 Nissan Armada from the rest of the full-size SUV crowd, but the Armada fails to stand out for interior space, comfort, or practicality. The Armada got a refresh for 2009, including some revised equipment and new option packages, but it essentially continues unchanged. With its...
 |
| Posted: 08 Jan 2010 02:29 PM PST  Two all-new engines—a V-6 and a V-8—promise to make the Mustang lineup a lot more exciting for 2011. Although the 2011 Ford Mustang isn't fully redesigned, it's extensively refreshed, with a new line of powertrains, new power steering, and suspension changes that altogether guarantee that it's going to be faster, more fuel-efficient and, likely...

| Posted: 08 Jan 2010 10:09 AM PST  Short of supercars, few other vehicles draw the attention of the 2010 Smart ForTwo. Cars.com reviewers attest that the 2010 Smart "generates more interest among observers than some that cost 10 times as much." All Smart ForTwos feature a "silver or black strip that loops around the ForTwo's side," says Edmunds, which it notes is visual evidence of...
 |
| Posted: 08 Jan 2010 10:00 AM PST Despite its diminutive size, the two-seat 2010 Smart ForTwo is a real car, rather than just a novelty. But while the ForTwo is a competent city car that's fun to drive on short runs or in urban traffic, many buyers will be better served by a more conventional small car or a hybrid. When traffic thins out and the roads open up to the beltways and...

| 2010 Volkswagen Jetta - SportWagen Posted: 08 Jan 2010 09:51 AM PST  The current Jetta saw a restyle in 2006, when it became significantly roomier but adopted a design that critics think is too close to its Japanese competition. Some critics grumble that the new Jetta looks too much like a large Toyota Corolla and not enough like its crisply European predecessors. The latest redesign leaves the Volkswagen Jetta...
 |
| 2010 Volkswagen Jetta - SportWagen Bottom Line Posted: 08 Jan 2010 09:35 AM PST With a five-cylinder gasoline engine, a new clean diesel option, and even a station wagon model, the Jetta provides a European alternative to compact sedans from Honda, Toyota, Nissan, and Ford-none of which offers a diesel. It vastly outsells the five-door Golf hatchback with which it shares some running gear, proving once again that sports...
 |
| Posted: 08 Jan 2010 09:25 AM PST  It takes a trained eye to tell the 2010 Honda Civic Hybrid apart from other Civics. Along with the other Civic four-door sedans, it got a new grille and lights last year; otherwise, it's unchanged for 2010. The Hybrid's minor exterior tweaks include different wheels, clear turn-signal lenses, turn indicators built into the side-view mirror...
 |
| 2010 Honda Civic Hybrid Bottom Line Posted: 08 Jan 2010 09:19 AM PST The 2010 Honda Civic Hybrid does just what it's designed to do: carry you and yours all over town with superb fuel efficiency. The four-door 2010 Civic Hybrid uses a blend of gasoline and electric power to achieve a real-world 45 mpg, but hardly anyone will know you're driving a hybrid. It's the hybrid for people who don't need to show off their...
