2006 Chevrolet Avalanche Full-Size Pickup Truck
Built from a Silverado LD truck with a cabin like the super-size Suburban wagon, Avalanche discards Suburban's rear bay in favor of the shortened bed of a pickup. The back wall of the cabin folds flat after the back seat tumbles forward and forms a generous extension of the truck box. A deluxe cab in Avalanche mimics the Suburban in a layout with seating for five or six. Read More »

2006 Suzuki Aerio Compact Economy Sedan and Wagon
A body that looks like a shrunken minivan on the Suzuki Aerio SX, shown here, draws more compliments than most cars in its price range. It starts around $14,500 and comes with lots of standard equipment, but it lacks overall refinement. While the Suzuki Aerio has a surprisingly big, comfortable cabin, many of the surfaces inside are covered in a cheap-feeling plastic that feels tacky compared to some of its competitors, even those cheap rides from Korea.

2006 Chevrolet SSR Compact Pickup Truck
Think of this one as a cross between a truck and an open-top roadster. Chevrolet calls it SSR -- Super Sport Roadster. There's a bed in back like a truck, but also a retractable hardtop that converts the vehicle via power controls to a breezy convertible. The lid folds in two pieces and tucks vertically behind front seats. Frame and chassis come from Chevy's TrailBlazer SUV, with the powertrain out of Corvette. Read More »
