Mazda Schools the B-Segment With 2011 Mazda2
The Mazda2 is long overdue. This car should have been brought to the United States in 2007 when Mazda was selling the previous generation of this model in Australia and Asia. I know, I know, 2007 was the fin de siecle for big gas guzzlers – when dinosaurs still roamed the Earth in automotive form. [...]

Test Drive: 2010 Lincoln MKZ Sedan
Zephyr is a name that goes way back with Lincoln – although it sounds funny to our ears, a Zephyr was originally a North African word for a light westerly wind, and in the 1930s, Lincoln-Zephyr was the name chosen for a line of lower-priced luxury cars from Ford. The name was used in Europe [...]
Test Drive: 2010 BMW 328i Coupe
The 328i BMW’s baseline car, and this week’s review car is very close to an absolute base model of the 328i. I like it when the review car is a base model, because then you can see what the car really is without an extra $10,000 worth of features.

2010 MAZDASPEED3 – Still The Hottest Hatch
I was one of the first journalists in the world to drive the original MAZDASPEED3 back in 2007, and it was a classic case of love at first sight. “This is your next Mazda,” is what I wrote at the time. In the years since then, I’ve never found a reason to revise that opinion. [...]
2010 VW Jetta Sportwagen TDI Could be the Right Car for Summer
The 2010 VW Jetta Sportwagen TDI diesel occupies a special place in the automotive market right now. It’s less expensive than its Audi brethren, and yet it uses the same 2.0-liter turbocharged clean diesel engine as the A3. Right now the Germans are the only folks selling diesels in passenger cars, but you can bet [...]
