2010 GMC Yukon Hybrid

Posted: 18 Jan 2010 03:02 PM PST

The GMC Yukon Hybrid still looks like a standard GMC Yukon full-size sport utility vehicle. That means it's a tall, upright, and slab-sided vehicle based on a truck chassis. The GMC Yukon was last redesigned for 2008, and aside from its front-end styling, it is largely similar to the Chevrolet Tahoe, with which it shares its platform. But the...


2010 GMC Yukon Hybrid Bottom Line

Posted: 18 Jan 2010 02:57 PM PST

The 2010 GMC Yukon Hybrid lets buyers have their cake and eat it too. It's a large, roomy, and capable SUV that offers unmatched fuel efficiency for the class, albeit at a steep price premium over its nonhybrid counterpart. It's well equipped, and if you need even more accoutrements, you can now get the plusher Yukon Denali as a hybrid as well...


2010 Cadillac Escalade Hybrid

Posted: 18 Jan 2010 02:50 PM PST

The Cadillac Escalade is the model that made GM's luxury brand relevant-even hip-among less-than-geriatric buyers, thanks to its brash styling and over-the-top luxury features. All Escalades offer crisp, imposing exterior lines that command attention and feature plenty of chrome bling. But it's difficult to distinguish the 2010 Cadillac Escalade...


2010 Cadillac Escalade Hybrid Bottom Line

Posted: 18 Jan 2010 02:45 PM PST

Launched for 2009, the 2010 Cadillac Escalade Hybrid is the fourth and newest Escalade model. It joins the standard Escalade sport utility, the long-wheelbase Escalade EXT, and the SUV/pickup combination known as the Escalade EXT. Each of these Cadillac models is based on the truck chassis found under the less-swanky Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon...


2010 Jeep Wrangler

Posted: 18 Jan 2010 11:17 AM PST

Redesigned in 2007, the 2010 Wrangler retains traditional Jeep styling cues, while still essentially being, as Car and Driver notes, a "cult vehicle." The Jeep Wrangler returns for 2010 with the same iconic features (including removable doors and a fold-down windshield) that have brought renown to this unique vehicle. Two versions of the 2010 Jeep...


2010 Jeep Wrangler Bottom Line

Posted: 18 Jan 2010 11:13 AM PST

The Jeep Wrangler returns for 2010 with the same iconic features (including removable doors and a fold-down windshield) that have brought renown to this unique vehicle, as well as the body-on-frame chassis and solid front and rear axles that established the Wrangler as one of the most capable off-road SUVs on the market. The Jeep Wrangler is three...


2010 Chevrolet Colorado

Posted: 18 Jan 2010 11:08 AM PST

The exterior styling of the 2010 Colorado remains unchanged aside from some trim revisions. There are plenty of styling differences from which to choose in all of the Colorado's varied configurations, such as rear- or four-wheel drive, in short-wheelbase regular-cab and long-wheelbase extended- and four-door crew-cab versions. Edmunds claims "the...


2010 Chevrolet Colorado Bottom Line

Posted: 18 Jan 2010 11:04 AM PST

The 2010 Chevrolet Colorado continues to be offered with a wide variety of engines, including four- and five-cylinder mills, plus a range-topping V-8 engine producing 300 horsepower and 320 pound-feet of torque. The Colorado achieves a maximum towing capacity of 6,000 pounds and a sub-seven-second 0-60 acceleration time. Reviewers generally find...


2010 Toyota Sienna

Posted: 18 Jan 2010 11:00 AM PST

The Sienna has remained virtually unchanged in the six years it's been on the market. This is telling in terms of its rather dull design inside and out, especially when compared to its newer, more stylish competitors. In some ways, the simple one-box profile is dictated by the requirements of carrying as much as possible, be it passengers or...


2010 Toyota Sienna Bottom Line

Posted: 18 Jan 2010 10:56 AM PST

The 2010 Toyota Sienna is a great example of a minivan. While not winning any awards for driving qualities, it excels at what it's meant to do: comfortably and efficiently carry a family and all their gear. The Sienna has remained virtually unchanged in the six years it's been on the market. This is rather telling in terms of its dull styling...


2010 Chevrolet Impala

Posted: 18 Jan 2010 10:50 AM PST

Most reviewers find the styling of the Impala bland and outdated against its rivals. The 2010 Chevrolet Impala won't win any awards for styling; its exterior is quite bland and looks thoroughly outdated next to more modern large sedans like GM's own Buick LaCrosse or Ford's Taurus. Edmunds claims the Impala received a "classy exterior freshening"...


2010 Chevrolet Impala Bottom Line

Posted: 18 Jan 2010 10:46 AM PST

Chevrolet's large sedan offering comes in the form of the front-wheel-drive Impala, which while having a comfortable ride, does not match up to the standards of refinement expected from a car of its class today. The 2010 Chevrolet Impala won't win any awards for styling; its exterior is quite bland and looks thoroughly outdated next to more modern...


2010 Nissan Maxima

Posted: 18 Jan 2010 10:32 AM PST

Fortunately, last year's complete redesign of the Nissan Maxima model still seems fresh; it's a really head-turning sedan. With the redesign came curvier sheetmetal, an aggressive front-end design, and an overall stance that makes it look like it could have rear-wheel drive. Referring to last year's redesign, Automobile Magazine says that "the...


2010 Nissan Maxima Bottom Line

Posted: 18 Jan 2010 10:29 AM PST

For the 2010 model year, the Nissan Maxima remains relatively untouched, although Bluetooth capability is now standard on all Maxima models. Nissan's flagship sedan, the Maxima, was completely redesigned last year. Built on the same platform as the Altima mid-size sedan, the front-wheel-drive 2010 Nissan Maxima takes a sportier and more luxurious...
