| Posted: 16 Jun 2010 12:06 PM PDT  The Basics: The 2011 Toyota Sienna may be the Japanese automaker's third-generation minivan, but Toyota emphasizes that the new Sienna is becoming more carlike than ever. Want proof? How about the new Sienna SE sport van, which actually handles like something you'd want to drive, outside of Krogering? The Sienna gets smart updates to its...

| Posted: 16 Jun 2010 05:42 AM PDT  The Basics: Ford hasn't offered a subcompact in more than a decade. Now, it's responding to steady sales of the Toyota Yaris, Honda Fit, and Nissan Versa by bringing us an adapted version of the well-received and very successful European 2011 Ford Fiesta. We're not sure if America's quite ready for a car smaller than the smallest Ford Focus, but...

| Posted: 15 Jun 2010 08:58 PM PDT  The Suzuki XL7 is an excellent product, but it's likely not coming back after a very short run for 2010. A victim of the GM bankruptcy upheaval, not slow sales, the XL7 was closely related to several of GM's compact utility vehicles but arguably the best tuned. In addition to a handsome exterior design, the 2009 Suzuki XL7 boasts a standard...

| Posted: 15 Jun 2010 08:55 PM PDT  The Endeavor is Mitsubishi's mid-size compact crossover vehicle, but it's a bit of a lost soul—reason being, the compact Outlander is nearly as large, handles better, and offers a third-row seat, which the Endeavor doesn't. After skipping the 2009 model year entirely, the 2010 Mitsubishi Endeavor exists but is being sold in very limited numbers...

| Posted: 15 Jun 2010 08:53 PM PDT  The 2010 Toyota Highlander Hybrid looks virtually the same from the outside as conventional four-cylinder and V-6 versions of this popular family crossover, The Highlander Hybrid shares a powertrain with the much pricier, ritzier 2010 Lexus RX 450h. It uses a specially tuned 3.3-liter V-6 paired with two electric motors where the transmission...

| Posted: 15 Jun 2010 08:52 PM PDT  The 2010 MINI Cooper Convertible brims with personality and a timeless flair, and in any version—the base Cooper or high-performance Cooper S—it's a delightful car to drive. Convertibles lose the roofline that sets the MINI's wedgy stance, but the top design apes it closely, and a wide band of chrome at the shoulder line is a smart touch. They...

| Posted: 15 Jun 2010 08:50 PM PDT  The 2010 Mercury Milan and Milan Hybrid are remarkably good mid-size sedans that should be better known than they are. Though mechanically identical to the Ford Fusion and Fusion Hybrid, the Milan and Milan Hybrid have a cleaner exterior and slightly more stylish interior finishes—along with the better dealership experience that Lincoln-Mercury...

| Posted: 15 Jun 2010 08:49 PM PDT  The traditional, upright lines of the 2010 Mercury Mariner and Mariner Hybrid disguise their actual personas: They're carlike crossovers, with a good ride quality, great maneuverability, and decent handling that belies their high driving position and boxy shape. If maximum economy is your goal, the 2010 Mercury Mariner Hybrid is fitted with Ford's...

| Posted: 15 Jun 2010 08:47 PM PDT  Mazda sells very few of its Ford-built Tribute sport-utility vehicles every year—and even fewer Tribute Hybrids. They give Mazda a traditional-looking SUV that stands out in a showroom filled with increasingly zoomy designs; but apparently, they don't fit in very well with Mazda buyers. The Tribute Hybrid is Mazda's sole hybrid vehicle, however...

| 2010 Maserati GranTurismo Convertible Posted: 15 Jun 2010 08:46 PM PDT  With scintillating looks, a throaty, 433-horsepower 4.7-liter Ferrari-derived V-8 engine and a convertible roof, the 2010 Maserati GranTurismo Convertible—also called GranCabrio—is a car nut's dream cruiser. And at a starting price of $135,800 it costs only modestly more than the GranTurismo coupe. The GranTurismo Convertible's soft top retracts...
