2009 Dodge Viper SRT10
Saved, Viper stays brute
With the tact of a grunge band crashing a cotillion, the Viper's still king. And it's not going away.
2009 Mazda 6
Value without a V-6
One of the nicest things you can say about any car is that "It's a lot of value for the dollar or bang for the buck." The Mazda 6 delivers.
2009 Hyundai Genesis
Shocking competence
You’re starting to see buyers’ comments mentioning that the Genesis is a “value proposition” and has an amazing “price point.”
2010 Volvo XC60
Sporty, distinctly New England
Even under a decade of Ford management, Volvo’s quirky and unconventional behavior hasn't rubbed off entirely.
2009 BMW X6
Whatever it is, X6 is fun
With two-tons, 400 horsepower, and a shape no one really knows what to do with, this BMW is just flat-out fun.
2010 Jaguar XKR Convertible
XKR gets more bipolar power
The XKR tricks passersby into believing it's a polite and quiet luxury car, and then it just rips a nasty one.
2009 Kia Borrego EX
2009 Jeep Commander Overland
American Range Rover
It's posh, almost Lexus-quiet, and 10 grand less than a Range Rover. And it's a Jeep.
2009 Jaguar XK
2009 Lincoln MKX
Chromed, cushy, in need of EcoBoost
It shares a lot with the Ford Edge, but it's not enough to stomach the luxury crossover market without some tweaks.
2009 Ford Edge Sport
Edge Sport offers kit and space
A body kit with 22-inch rims compliments the Edge Sport, Ford's versatile and upscale crossover.
2009 Subaru Forester X
Vanilla served up right
Subarus are a dime a dozen in New England, and the Forester is a clear example why.
2010 Kia Soul !
That's one kooky Kia
Behind the Kia Soul's wild exterior and dance-floor speakers is a comfortable, refreshing drive.
2009 BMW 128i
Rare and satisfying, except fuel economy
What's not to like about near 50/50 weight distribution and plenty of power? A few things.
2009 BMW 750Li
2009 Mini Cooper Convertible
Plenty of goofy, base-trim fun
What's an "Openometer" gauge? Answer: About the most useless item on a Mini Cooper convertible.
2009 Toyota Yaris S
Snappy, roomy, but Yaris skips basics
The top-level Yaris S is competent, but pricey for what it lacks.
2009 Honda Fit Sport
Not what nature intended
How's the 2009 Fit compare to the first-generation? We need a Golden Retriever to find out.
2009 Ford F-150
Polite, kid-friendly with F-150
When is a truck not a truck? When it's a loaner that you can't use the way a truck should be used.
2009 Nissan Frontier
Frontier still on course
It would be fair to think that this truck's cycle has run its course, but to drive one is to learn otherwise.
2009 Volkswagen Jetta TDI
No dirty lowdown, just torque and miles
Forget about stink, smoke, and clatter. The Jetta TDI's diesel four-cylinder delivers lots of torque and 40-plus miles per gallon.
2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid
Brookline hypermiling with Fusion Hybrid
A mad race to break the 50 mile-per-gallon mark ensued when Ford brought one of its 2010 Fusion Hybrids to Brookline.
