2009 Ford F-250 Super Duty Cabela's Edition: First Drive
With metallic body accents, leather-trimmed seats and Paldeo wood applique, you could call the 2009 Ford Super Duty Cabela's Edition a fashionable truck — but since it comes with two built-in gun lockers, we won't. More » -

2010 Cadillac SRX: Part Two
Yesterday, we told you the 2010 Cadillac SRX not only changed shape, but also changed personality into a grown-up crossover capable of actually handling. Now, what about everything else a luxury-crossover's supposed to do? More » -
jalopnik reviews
2010 Cadillac SRX: Part One
The 2010 Cadillac SRX doesn't look like the old SRX, it doesn't feel like the old SRX and it's much bulkier than the old SRX. That's good, because that means the new SRX is seriously appealing. More » -

2010 Ford Taurus: First Drive
The 2010 Ford Taurus wants to become to full-size sedans what the F-150 is to trucks: the standard by which all others are judged. That's an incredibly ambitious goal for an utterly conventional car. More » -

2010 Ford Taurus SHO: First Drive
Normally, when we review an exciting new performance car, we like to use a dramatic burnout shot. Unfortunately, the 2010 Ford Taurus SHO barely chirps its front wheels on its 5.2-second trip to 60 MPH. More » -

2010 Lexus IS Convertible: First Drive
The 2010 Lexus IS Convertible shares only the hood and dash with its four-door sibling, with the rest re-purposed for the singular task of open-air grand touring. Can Lexus finally get a convertible right? More » -

2010 Lexus HS 250h: First Drive
Hybrid-haters may expect the Lexus HS 250h to be a hateful, soul-sapping horror show, but like the 2010 Toyota Prius, conventional wisdom isn't necessarily conventional anymore. More » -

Protoscar Lampo, First Drive: $1.4 Million, Solar-Powered Electric Roadster
Handing over a $1.4 million electric car to a blog is interesting, especially when the company operates a "you break it, you buy it" policy. Can the 268 HP Protoscar Lampo live up to its promise of electrifying performance? More » -

2009 VW Jetta Sportwagen TDI, Part Two

2009 VW Jetta SportWagen TDI, Part One

2010 Ford Transit Connect: First Drive
After the Ford Fiesta, the 2010 Ford Transit Connect is the second most lust-worthy European Ford to make it Stateside. Can a small, practical cargo van appeal to big, burly American workers? More » -

Chevy Volt Mule: First Drive
Yesterday morning we finally hopped into a Chevy Volt mule with outgoing GM product czar Bob Lutz for a spin around the Warren Tech Center. What's it feel like? It's utterly unremarkable and appliance-like. More » -

2009 Subaru Forester: Unsupervised Off-Road Mayhem
The last 2009 Subaru Forester we drove blew a tire, forcing us into making clichéd gay jokes. This time we took it to an off-road park and beat it like a rented mule. More » -

2010 Lincoln MKS EcoBoost: First Drive
Rather than a pedestrian 3.7-liter V6, the 2010 Lincoln MKS EcoBoost provides a rip-roaring 355 HP twin-turbo V6 that'll get 24+ MPG. Minus tweaks, it's the same setup we'll see in the Ford Taurus SHO. More » -

2010 Lincoln MKT EcoBoost: First Drive

AEV J8 MILSPEC: Offroading Jeep's Forbidden Fruit

Ducati 848: First Ride... Through A Shopping Mall
The only way we're going to bail out this economy is if we let a few hard-earned greenbacks fly. We just took it a step further with a Ducati 848 Superbike. More » -

2010 Mercedes E-Class Coupe: First Drive
Replacing the CLK, the 2010 Mercedes E-Class Coupe adopts a similar look to the new E-Class Sedan and most of its mechanicals. It's just a shame it's not as fun to drive as the four-door. More » -

2010 Mercedes E-Class Sedan: First Drive
Since the early ‘90s we've seen Mercedes slowly dilute its peerless quality in a drive for increased sales. The 2010 Mercedes E-Class represents a major step back towards the timeless luxury cars of yore. More » -

2009 BMW Z4: First Drive

2009 Mazda6 Grand Touring: First Drive
The 2009 Mazda6 is supposed to be the driver's car in the mid-size sedan segment. Considering it competes with the Camry, that's not exactly a challenge. Still, can it get us hot and bothered? More » -

Switzer P800 Nissan GT-R: First Drive
The Switzer P800 Nissan GT-R makes over 700 HP at the wheels, nearly double that of the comparatively plain-Jane GT-R. Luckily that's at all four wheels, because we drove it through both snow and ice. More » -

RENNtech Mercedes C63 AMG SPEC.R: First Drive
Miami Cops have unmarked Altimas and laser guns. The RENNtech AMG C63 SPEC.R has a top speed of 187 MPH and luckily, sports a custom rear-view mirror-embedded radar/laser-detecting and jamming system. I used it, often. More » -
