OUR TAKE: We’ve gone back
and forth in the office over whether we really like the design of the Eos or not.

like BMW’s iDrive, drives us nuts.
>> READ MORE >> |

car than the last example we drove in the fall.
>> READ MORE >> |
OUR TAKE: We like the refreshed look
of the Escape. It’s a bit manlier outside, with stronger, more defined details

>> READ MORE >> |
OUR TAKE: This car strikes an excellent
balance between frills and function, power and economy, overdone luxury and buttoned-down
style.

OUR TAKE: We freaked
out when we saw the sticker on this vehicle.

re-done, that it is impossible...
>> READ MORE >> |
OUR TAKE: The S-Class ushers
us back to a time when Mercedes banked its reputation on over-engineered, vault-tight
vehicles that felt like...
>> READ MORE >> |
OUR TAKE: There is something to
this quiet tuning, or whatever Buick calls it.
>> READ MORE >> |
OUR TAKE: With the CVT, the
engine sounds as if it’s struggling every time you get on the gas.

OUR TAKE: This is the valedictorian
of the power-folding hardtop class of 2007.

assassin. The cabin is coffin quiet and is as comfortable as anything we’ve
tried.

enough for daily activities.
