Lexus set out to build the world's best luxury car with the new LS 460. While it looks and drives brilliantly and comes packed with technology -- including the option to parallel-park itself -- it still has no soul. Heaven must look something like this. The Lexus LS 460 has a cabin so packed with creature comforts you'll never want to leave. Read More »

2007 Saturn Vue Green Line Hybrid Fuel Mid-Size Sport Utility Vehicle
The gas/electric hybrid, called the "Green Line," is the only SUV from GM with this engine configuration. The Saturn Vue is a compact SUV built on a mid-size truck platform, the same as other General Motors products including the Chevrolet Equinox and Pontiac Torrent SUVs. It provides disappointingly modest gas savings. The design is uninspiring. And the build quality is better than other GM products, but not by much. Read More »
2007 Toyota Tacoma PreRunner Double Cab Mid-Size Pickup Truck
Toyota's handsome Tacoma looks good, but it drives even better. This is the most refined mid-size truck for sale, giving you a rewarding driving experience and plenty of towing performance. The roomy Tacoma Double Cab is pricey, but it has the refinement of an SUV with the payload capacity of a truck. It's great for driving on the highway, something you can't say about most of its competitors. Read More »
2007 Hyundai Santa Fe Limited All-Wheel Drive Mid-Size Sport Utility Vehicle
The Hyundai Santa Fe is largest SUV in the company’s product line. The redesign added 3” to the width and 7” to the length. The additional length was important to the addition of the optional 3rd row of seating for 7-passenger capacity. And it gives the truck lots for room for the passengers and cargo. Read More »
2007 Lexus ES 350 Mid-Size Luxury Sedan
Based on the new Toyota Camry platform, the Lexus ES 350 drives like a down comforter with wheels. Freakishly soft leather covers the seats and steering wheel in the new Lexus ES 350 mid-size luxury car. Unlike the sporty Lexus IS, the ES has a soft, smooth, traditional luxury ride. Read More »
2007 Mercedes-Benz E320 Bluetec Mid-Size Luxury Sedan
The Mercedes-Benz E-Class lineup has slightly revised bodywork for 2007, including a more aggressive front end that now comes to a point. The E320 Bluetec, shown here, has earth-friendly diesel technology for great gas mileage and clean emissions. Other than a navigation system designed by drunk monkeys, the Mercedes-Benz E320 Bluetec is a great car for long trips. It has a smooth-as-Scarlett-Johansson ride and an engine so quiet you'd never believe it's a diesel. Read More »
2007 Dodge Nitro Mid-Size Sport Utility Vehicle
Maybe Hummer should get their trademark lawyers on the phone. The new Dodge Nitro has a boxy, militarized stance not unlike the small Hummers for sale today. Like its sibling, the Jeep Liberty, the Nitro has an interior that looks good but feels cheap. It's more practical and innovative than the Liberty, though, with several entertainment and storage features that aren't available on other vehicles. Read More »
2007 Chrysler PT Cruiser Compact Convertible Coupe
Chrysler's PT Cruiser convertible is all about retro fun. It's great for putting the top down and listening to the Beach Boys -- especially their "Good Vibrations" when you hit bumps. Body-color panels and lots of chrome make the PT's interior look like a custom hot-rod, only without the custom quality. Read More »
2007 Dodge Magnum Full-Size Station Wagon
This is a station wagon on 'roids. The Dodge Magnum combines a muscular shape with up to 425 horsepower to create one of the wildest grocery-getters on the road. A quiet, roomy interior makes the Magnum feel as comfortable as a traditional family car, despite its outlandish styling. It has the look and practicality of an SUV without any of the drawbacks.

2007 Volvo XC90 Mid-Size Luxury Sport Utility Vehicle
Volvo's big XC90 wagon is as tough as it is sophisticated. It's a heavy, rock-solid vehicle with a rugged all-wheel-drive system that feels like it could drive anywhere on or off road. Inside, the XC90's cabin is a classy place to spend long trips. Despite Sweden's reputation for quirky controls, the buttons and knobs in this Volvo are refreshingly simple to learn and easy to operate. Read More »
