2010 Cadillac Escalade ESV

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...


2010 Honda Civic Coupe

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...


2010 Honda Accord Coupe

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...


2010 BMW X6 M

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...


2010 BMW X5 M

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 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...
