2012 Lincoln Navigator Full-Size Luxury SUV

2012 Lincoln Navigator Full-Size Luxury SUV

Our wagon -- the 2012 Navigator L, Lincoln's long-stretched and luxuriously outfitted full-size SUV -- executes each bend in the curvy mountain road with a pavement-hugging poise rarely found on such a jumbo-size hulk of a wagon, much less one whose roots trace directly to a humongous pickup truck. To our surprise it feels almost sporty, so agile the posture and smooth the ride quality, yet the Navigator L has a wheelbase nearly 12 feet long and a high-rise body structure which smothers some 18 feet of pavement and its vast passenger compartment provides three tiers of seats for as many as eight riders.

2012 Chevrolet Colorado Mid-Size Pickup Truck

2012 Chevrolet Colorado Mid-Size Pickup Truck

Sheetmetal styling for Colorado employs design elements from the Trailblazer SUV and projects a powerful face dominated by the horizontal strip of chrome splitting in half the grille and corner headlamp clusters. Overall shape of the truck is rather cubistic with squarish corners but aerodynamic concessions like a sloping front hood and canted windshield. Read More »

2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 Mid-Size SUV

2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 Mid-Size SUV

A Jeep -- long-time synonym for go-anywhere four-wheel-drive traction in rugged mud-loving and trail-crawling off-road machines -- can muster fast-track times like a high-performance sports car? New Grand Cherokee SRT8, swiftest and strongest vehicle ever to wear that chrome-coated J-E-E-P badge, performs like a raucous sports car but carries a boxy back bay under the thin disguise of a practical sport utility wagon.

2012 Hyundai Veloster Subcompact Coupe

2012 Hyundai Veloster Subcompact Coupe

Our vehicle is the 2012 Veloster, a stylish new asymmetrical three-door coupe for the sport compact class with a hatchback lid at the tail, left and right flank doors for front seat riders plus a handy back door on the right side to access the rear seats. New Veloster seems keen in shape with a sculptured body mounted on multi-spoke wheels and drawn in rectangular format but with a radically raked windshield and a low arching canopy over the cabin with low-slung windows and side pillars muted to forge the profile of a racy sportster.

2012 Hyundai Accent Subcompact Sedan And Hatchback

2012 Hyundai Accent Subcompact Sedan and Hatchback

Rank the 2012 Accent as completely new in body style, cabin size, mechanical components and fuel economy scores -- it delivers as much as 40 miles per gallon (mpg) for cruising on a highway. Accent looks like a streamlined sports car that conforms to a family-friendly four-door notchback sedan or a cargo-hauling five-door hatchback. Read More »

2012 Honda CR-V Compact Crossover SUV

2012 Honda CRV Compact SUV

Fender blisters bulge around front wheels to forge a forceful stance, as the roofline arches over the cabin and strips of flank windows get black-capped pillars. At the rear long red lamps define edges of a top-hinged tailgate, which curves down and fits snugly against the bottom bumper. Dramatic styling continues in a spacious cabin filled with creative designs, extensive safety equipment and downright fancy features. Read More »

2012 Honda Crosstour Large Hatchback

2012 Honda Crosstour Large Hatchback

This large-scale vehicle packs an enthused V6 powertrain and mixes the plush comforts and easy-driving performance of Honda's refined Accord sedan with the cargo space and flexibility of a crossover utility vehicle like Honda Pilot. The front-wheel-drive platform of Accord supports the slick aerodynamic structure of the shapely Crosstour hatchback, which houses four flank doors like a sedan and flexible seating for five riders in a plush cabin plus vast cargo space (more than 50 cubic feet) in the aft bay with access through a tail-side liftgate.

2012 Honda Civic Si Compact Coupe

2012 Honda Civic SI Compact Coupe rear view

The 2012 Civic Si, completely redesigned for a new generation, looks serious in an aero-sleek package with ultra-fast windshield rake, curt and sporty overhangs front and rear, minimal gaps between tires and fenders, and the trailing ripple of a deck-lid spoiler. It rides on a platform that also supports Honda's compact-class Civic series of coupes and sedans and shares suspension elements. Read More »

2012 Honda Civic Compact Sedan

2012 Honda Civic Compact Sedan

All sedans in the 2012 Civic series employ a four-cylinder aluminum engine which displaces 1.8 liters and carries Honda's special i-VTEC (variable value timing and lift electronic control) valvetrain to precisely manage engine breathing and combustion in order to maximize horsepower and disperse torque across a broad band. The plant generates 140 hp at 6300 rpm plus torque of 128 lb-ft at 4300 rpm. Read More »

2012 GMC Terrain Compact Crossover SUV

2012 GMC Terrain Compact Corssover SUV

All of the engine's power goes to turn the front wheels which also steer this vehicle. Having the front wheels both turn and steer -- when combined with the stiff unitized structure and lively suspension -- makes Terrain uncommonly agile, but that's the big idea behind GM's design for the easy-driving Crossover SUV. Stretching more than 15 feet long and six feet wide, this slippery wagon rides on a stretched platform and stocks a economy-minded four-cylinder engine or powerful V6. Read More »
