| Posted: 14 Jun 2010 05:08 PM PDT  The Escalade is virtually unbeatable for interior space, with lots of elbow and shoulder room, and the ESV makes the most of it. Compared to the standard-length Escalade, the ESV is about 20 inches longer, and more of its 14-inch-longer wheelbase goes straight to legroom in the second and third rows. On the inside, the Escalade is virtually...

| Posted: 14 Jun 2010 05:07 PM PDT  The 2010 Honda Civic Coupe is closely related to the 2010 Honda Civic Sedan. Mechanically they're nearly identical, and the Civic Coupe closely resembles the Civic Sedan from the front, though from the side it has a completely different profile. A couple of inches shorter in wheelbase, the Civic Coupe has a slightly more arched roofline and rear...

| Posted: 14 Jun 2010 05:05 PM PDT  The 2010 Honda Accord Coupe is very closely related to the Honda Accord Sedan and is thus covered together with the Accord Sedan under a single review. The coupe has styling that's bolder, with a smoother downward curve of its roof, more sculpted flanks, and what appear to be slightly different proportions. However the Coupe is just a couple of...

| Posted: 14 Jun 2010 05:00 PM PDT  The 2010 BMW X6 M is the same in many respects as the 2010 BMW X6, but it substitutes a brawny 555-horsepower, twin-turbo V-8 for the naturally aspirated six- or eight-cylinder engines (or hybrid powertrain) that are included in the X6. It has standard all-wheel drive along with a list of upgrades that make it fit for weekend track outings...

| Posted: 14 Jun 2010 04:56 PM PDT  The 2010 BMW X5 M is a high-performance version of the X5 utility vehicle. With a 555-horsepower, twin-turbocharged V-8, it's the sports car of utility vehicles—taking on the Porsche Cayenne—yet it still has a 6,600-pound tow rating and nearly all the other practical aspects of the other gasoline and diesel X5 models. Despite its height, the X5...

| 2010 Aston Martin DBS - Volante Posted: 14 Jun 2010 03:56 PM PDT  The 2010 Aston Martin DBS coupe and DBS Volante convertible are evolutions of the DB9 sportscar, with distinct bodywork and even more of a racing heritage. The Volante's bruising V-12 engine is a 6.0-liter V-12 that exhales 510 horsepower and twists out 420 pound-feet of torque, which gets shuttled to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual or...

| Posted: 14 Jun 2010 03:48 PM PDT  The 2010 Aston Martin DB9 coupe and Volante roadster continue into the new model year with relatively few changes. The latest generation of the legendary sports car made famous both on the world's race tracks and on the silver screen as James Bond's ride of choice in the 1960s made its debut in 2005, as the replacement for the former DB7 Vantage...

| Posted: 14 Jun 2010 03:26 PM PDT  The 2010 Aston Martin Vantage is a smaller V-8-powered sportscar that's spun from the British automaker's VM aluminum architecture. It's distinct from the larger DB9, though, with its eight-cylinder engine, and its mission to give luxury-sportscar shoppers an alternative to the usual Porsche 911, Nissan GT-R, or Audi R8. It doesn't quite thrill...

| Study: Its safer to drive drunk than to have arguing kids in the car Posted: 14 Jun 2010 02:04 PM PDT  Could fights between your brood be causing you to be more likely to have an accident? An article on British car Web site Whatcar is citing a report by the Transport Research Laboratory for insurance company Direct Line that suggests arguing children can be such a distraction for drivers, that it's almost as bad as driving while drunk. The study...

| Posted: 14 Jun 2010 01:06 PM PDT  From the back seat forward, the 2010 Volvo V50 wagon is virtually the same as the Volvo S40 sedan. The S40 sedan and V50 wagon manage to straddle the line between fuel efficiency, refinement, luxury, and sportiness in a compact package that doesn't betray Volvo's traditional standards of practicality and safety. Compared to other compact wagons...

| Posted: 14 Jun 2010 01:04 PM PDT  The 2010 Volvo V70 and XC70 combine the brand's reputation for safety and quaint Swedish flair in a conventional station wagon body. With extra body cladding and skid plates, the XC70 goes a step further by offering the ruggedness of an SUV with the practicality and dynamics of a station wagon, providing buyers with an alternative to regular...

| 2010 Volkswagen New Beetle Convertible Posted: 14 Jun 2010 01:03 PM PDT  The 2010 Volkswagen New Beetle is no longer the head-turner it once was, but the New Beetle Convertible remains one of the better choices for two who want to cruise in comfort. While the New Beetle's exterior hasn't been changed much over the years—and that's a good thing—the interior design feels a little plasticky, gimmicky, and outdated by 2010...

| 2010 Volkswagen Jetta Sportwagen Posted: 14 Jun 2010 12:59 PM PDT  2010 Volkswagen Jetta Sportwagen models have an almost identical feature set to the 2010 VW Jetta sedan but come with a wide-opening back hatch and fold-flat backseat cargo area, allowing a lot more utility and flexibility. For wagon shoppers, interior versatility is key, and the Jetta's tall ceiling helps afford a feeling of spaciousness, as well...

| Posted: 14 Jun 2010 12:57 PM PDT  The 2010 Volkswagen Passat Wagon is mechanically the same as the 2010 Volkswagen Passat Sedan, and like the Sedan is now only offered in a single Komfort trim, with a 200-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder engine and front-wheel drive. That's fine, as the engine provides good performance and impressive economy with the six-speed automatic...

| New 2011 Volkswagen Jetta Unveiled Posted: 14 Jun 2010 12:07 PM PDT  The official U.S. unveiling happens tomorrow, but we've got an advance look at the next Volkswagen Jetta, thanks to AutoExpress. The 2011 Volkswagen Jetta won't be based on the Golf hatchback--it's moving to its own platform. Taking a few design cues from the NCC Concept that Volkswagen showed in Detroit at the North American International Show...
