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...


2010 Aston Martin DB9

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...


2010 Aston Martin 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...


2010 Volvo V50

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...


2010 Volvo V70

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been changed much over the years—and that's a good thing—the interior design feels a little plasticky, gimmicky, and outdated by 2010...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...


2010 Volkswagen Passat Wagon

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...


2010 Aston Martin Rapide

Posted: 11 Jun 2010 10:38 AM PDT

The 2010 Aston Martin Rapide is a luxury four-door exotic, the first sedan in the company's history. A derivative of the DB9 range, the Rapide shares the DB9's 6.0-liter V-12, its rear-drive running gear, its six-speed automatic transmission and some of its aluminum architecture. With the stretch in wheelbase on the Rapide comes an extra pair of...
