2010 Saab 9-3

Posted: 11 Jun 2010 10:26 AM PDT

Saab has survived a near-death experience--for now. Cut loose from the GM empire, it's been acquired by Dutch supercar builder Spyker, and it's revived its American operations behind a new 2010 Saab 9-5 and the carryover car here, the 2010 Saab 9-3. The 9-3 is a roomy compact model that borders on mid-size, despite the fact that it's now the...


2010 Saab 9-5

Posted: 11 Jun 2010 10:21 AM PDT

After what has got to be one of the most tumultuous gestations in recent automotive history, the 2010 Saab 9-5 is now just months away from hitting showrooms. Having endured the lengthy sale process between GM and Spyker, Saab is finally readying its new 9-5 for sale and has revealed that the range-topping Aero will start at $49,990 when it goes...


2010 Infiniti QX56

Posted: 11 Jun 2010 09:56 AM PDT

The Infiniti QX56 sport-utility vehicle is a more luxurious and ornately styled version of the big Nissan Armada. Through the 2010 model year, it's been built at Nissan's Canton, Mississippi, factory where the company also builds the Armada and the Nissan Titan full-size pickup truck. The QX56 was revamped for the 2008 model year, with a new audio...


2010 Ford Expedition EL

Posted: 11 Jun 2010 09:52 AM PDT

The 2010 Ford Expedition EL is the long-body version of the standard Expedition, which dates back to 2007. This big SUV shows few signs of aging, thanks to its aggressive looks, generous cabin, and excellent towing ability. Two body styles are available: a regular-length model and the long-wheelbase Expedition EL offering 14.8 inches of additional...


2010 Ford Super Duty F-250

Posted: 11 Jun 2010 09:45 AM PDT

The 2010 Ford Super Duty F-250 is a heavy-duty version of the company's F-Series / F-150 full-size pickup truck family. As such, it gets distinct engine, transmission and other performance options--all to give it superior towing and hauling capability. TheCarConnection does not review heavy-duty pickup trucks; we've assigned this F-Series a rating...


2010 Dodge Ram 2500

Posted: 11 Jun 2010 09:43 AM PDT

The 2010 Dodge Ram 2500HD is a heavy-duty version of the Chrysler full-size pickup truck family. As such, it gets distinct engine, transmission and other performance options--all to give it superior towing and hauling capability. TheCarConnection does not review heavy-duty pickup trucks; we've assigned this Ram a rating similar to that of its...


2010 Chevrolet Silverado 2500

Posted: 11 Jun 2010 09:39 AM PDT

The 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD is a heavy-duty version of the GM full-size pickup truck family. As such, it gets distinct engine, transmission and other performance options--all to give it superior towing and hauling capability.

2010 GMC Sierra 2500HD

2010 GMC Savana

Posted: 11 Jun 2010 09:31 AM PDT

 The 2010 GMC Savana is a cargo van that's similar to the Chevrolet Express. The Savana is still built on the GMT800 truck platform, introduced in 2003. While GM's full-size trucks have been updated to GMT900 specifications, these vans soldier on, but they know how to get the job done as a commercial hauler, a 15-passenger minibus, or a powerful...


2010 GMC Sierra Hybrid

Posted: 11 Jun 2010 09:27 AM PDT

The 2010 GMC Sierra Hybrid is almost unique: it, and the similar Chevy Silverado Hybrid, are the only gas-electric pickups sold in America. Casual observers probably won't notice the Hybrid at first; aside from some badges and decals, the Hybrid's only cosmetic changes are a tonneau cover over the pickup box that provides a 5 percent reduction in...


2010 BMW M5

Posted: 11 Jun 2010 06:14 AM PDT

We want to love the 2010 BMW M5. Who wouldn't, with its race-derived, 500-horsepower V-10 engine, and a 0-60 time of just 4.5 seconds? Despite its charms, we can't get past the M5's serious flaws, the result of timing and a product at the end of its life cycle. An overabundance of technology almost kills the joy of that huge power. For starters...


2010 BMW M6

Posted: 11 Jun 2010 06:07 AM PDT

The 2010 BMW M6 shares most everything aside from its powertrain with the BMW 6-Series--but it's the powertrain that really matters, isn't it? From first glance, the M6's swooping, aerodynamic front end leads to a rather thick and squat rear end that, despite previous restyling attempts, still seems at odds with the rest of the design. The...


2010 Chevrolet Tahoe Hybrid

Posted: 11 Jun 2010 06:03 AM PDT

The 2010 Chevrolet Tahoe Hybrid takes the basic goodness of GM's full-size SUV and greens it up a bit. A V-8 engine powers most Tahoes, but in Hybrid models, a bigger V-8 is augmented with electric motors and battery power. Traditional SUV buyers get a 320-horsepower, 5.3-liter V-8 mated to a six-speed automatic transmission, a seamless duo that...


2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Hybrid

Posted: 11 Jun 2010 05:59 AM PDT

 The Chevrolet Silverado Hybrid is a vastly different beast than the gas-powered versions of the full-size pickup truck. Its advanced two-mode hybrid powertrain starts with an all-aluminum 6.0-liter V-8 featuring variable valve timing and cylinder deactivation. To that, GM adds an electrically variable transmission (EVT) with two electric...
