2010 Vehicle Road Test Archive

2010 Ford Mustang
2010 Corvette Grand Sport

The unmistakable growl.  The feeling of freedom on an open road.  Raw power. For more than 46 years, the Mustang has ruled the roads of America.  It is an authentic untamed spirit.  Its look is unmistakable.  The baritone rumble of the engine sparks a feeling and makes your sensible side think twice. [Stang]

Like Cher and Madonna and Beyonce this American beauty need no other name but one, Corvette. Everyone knows of what you speak when you speak its name. The sheer whisper of the word Corvette inspires desire, and for some of us conjures up memories of a first love. [Corvette]
2010 Toyota Camry Hybrid
2010 Lexus IS 250
This Toyota Camry doesn't belly up to the octane bar with an undeniably keg-quantity thirst. Rather, it can sip politely without becoming sated. A smaller bar tab, no over indulgence penalties for the kick of driving fun. [Camry] Call me gorgeous. I tantalize. I roar down streets and highways, owning the wind in my face and an audience of admirers as I pass. I am adored for the luxury I present and the pampering I offer. I am the 2010 Lexus IS 250 two-door in latest fashion. [IS]
2010 Camaro Coupe 2010 Cadillac CTS
The crimson 2010 Camaro SS sniffs the evening air with its snarly hood scoop. It smells a competitor, and seeks it with halo-encircled headlamps -- the piercing gaze of a predator freeze framing its prey. The rumble of its 6.2-liter, V-8 announces its intentions. [Camaro] Lithe, lean and athletic, we adored the 2010 Cadillac CTS sedan delivered to our door for an all-too-brief late spring test drive. This handsome heart stopper is smooth and teasing with the "A List" sophistication of a slightly wicked Ashton Kutcher in prime time. [CTS]
2010 jaguar xf Dodge challenger
If any car has a velvet touch, it would have to be the XF. Jaguar's newest darling is supple, and compliant in every way, and a delicious balance of luxury and thrill. But take this road hugging cat for a spin and WOW! does it deliver. [Jaguar XF] What's Not to Love? It's the new, very hot, very sexy 2010 Dodge Challenger SRT-8, with monster 6.1-liter, 425-HP engine and enough heavy metal attitude to emulate, say, Hollywood's bad boy Jesse James. Thrill is catapulting from a standstill. [SRT-8]
2010 Chevy Malibu 2010 Lincoln MKS
Few domestic vehicles ignited imagination as much as the redesigned front-drive Chevy Malibu sedan when it rolled into the spotlight a couple of years ago. Roomy, refined, with supple lines and prize-winning attitude, it belied the earlier so-so version it replaced. [Malibu] When you plant your foot hard on the go-pedal of the new 2010 Lincoln MKS this sleek machine races down long straights and seems like it's about to fly off the runway.That's quite a kick for a plush luxury sedan stuffed with high-tech controls and fancy cabin appointments. [MKS]
2010 GMC Terrain 2010 Buick Enclave
The all-new 2010 GMC Terrain for five, the smaller crossover from General Motors' "professional grade" division. Four-wheel drive gave us confidence. No skidding. No kidding. It gripped like glue. [Terrain] The pause in our seat-time in a large and luxurious crossover utility vehicle from the Buick brand of GM provides an opportunity to scrutinize the styling of what amounts to one sleek wagon. [Buick Enclave]
Nissan 370Z Coupe Suzuki Kisashi
Nissan labels it as the all-new 370Z Roadster of 2010, an al fresco variation spinning off the wicked 2009 370Z hatchback-styled hardtop coupe. Z as a roadster looks like it's speeding even when parked. [370Z] The Suzuki Kizashi's sportscar-leaning genes are apparent in the highly bolstered front seats, and smooth-as-silk six-speed manual trans that delivers a sense of performance even in four cylinder modee. [Suzuki Kizashi]
2010 Mazda RX8 2010 Lexus RX350
Over the next two months, we'll introduce you to the hottest and sexiest sports cars and roadsters to race through the pages of our website for 2010. Who doesn't love a sexy sports car? Let your journey begin with the all new [Mazda RX-8] The Lexus RX 350 cabin is wrapped in concealed air bags - up-front inflators for front seats plus seat-mounted side air bags and then curtain-style air bags tucked into headliners above side windows. [RX350]
