When you hear the automotive press rave about great performance bargains, the cars being referred to are usually the MazdaSpeed3, VW GTI or Subaru Impreza WRX-great cars, but for many buyers, $25-$30,000 is hardly considered a bargain. The common conception is if your budget for a new car is under $20,000, you should leave any hope of fun at the dealer’s showroom doors. The new for 2010 Suzuki SX4 SportBack is proof fun can be had for less than twenty grand.
The first SX4 appeared as a 2007 model-…

Kia has completely shocked me over the past few years with the dramatic improvement in its vehicles from generation to generation. And the company’s move to hire Peter Schreyer as its chief designer was an absolute stroke of brilliance. Schreyer has brought an interesting, attractive design language to the brand where previously there had been little more than a hodgepodge of various design cliches slapped together. Take the Kia Amante, for an example of what was wrong with Kia …

The plug-in Prius goes much further and faster on electricity alone, but remains a Prius in every other respect.
Way back in the waning years of the last millennium, the Toyota Prius was born, becoming the first Toyota hybrid. Since then, of course, many other Toyota and Lexus hybrids have hit the roads, as have many from nearly every other automaker. But it’s the Prius—thanks to distinct (if unsexy) styling and industry-leading fuel economy—that remains the unofficial green-mobile for Toyota and …

Conventional SUVs are all but dead, yet interest in sedans has not been surging. Instead, car-based SUVs with some promise of respectable fuel economy are currently hot. So a redesigned, four-cylinder-only Hyundai Tucson could not arrive at a better time. But it’s a crowded field. Why buy this one?
Along with the new Sonata, the redesigned [...]

2010 Nissan Altima Hybrid – “The Ultimate Hybrid Midsize Sedan”
Don’t’ let the Hybrid badges on the sides and rear fool you into thinking that the new 2010 Nissan Hybrid is slow at launch and performs like a weighty, mid-size hybrid sedan.
It doesn’t feel, or look like, a typical hybrid sedan that I have tested so far this year.
Its sporty good looks, higher levels of performance and premium interior appointments are second to none.
What makes the Altima Hybrid so special and ext…

Everybody knows a “Mr. Euro”. Hell, you may even be “Mr. Euro” to your friends. Mr. Euro is the guy who, for some reason, wants the cars he cannot have in the United States. He’s the guy who says he would drive a 520i “in a heartbeat” given the chance, the [...]

“Mommy doesn’t like red cars.”
“Well, she might like this one.”
Such was the conversation between my seven year-old daughter and me a few hours after I received delivery of a bright red Audi A4 Avant—“avant” being Audi-speak for “station wagon.”
At the outset, I saw much to like. A lithe, lean-looking wagon with Germanic poise and performance, yet all the practicality of an SUV. Sculpted sides. A low, aggressive stance. Compact dimensions—185.2” long and 71.9” wi…

The U.S.-market Fiesta is as good as its European counterpart. Hallelujah!
For years, we in the U.S. have had to watch with jealousy as the Europeans drove Ford vehicles that were faster, fancier, better than what was available here. We constantly begged for the products, but the hands of Ford’s American product planners were tied by cost concerns and misaligned product cycles. No more. The automaker announced its ONE Ford plan a couple of years ago, the thrust of which was to design and market vehicl…
