2009 Pontiac Solstice CoupeThe Solstice coupe is a toy. That would be OK if it were a thoroughly entertaining one, but dynamically, it's a mixed bag.
I'm willing to bet no Pontiac since the iconic 1959 Bonneville, the first of the wide-track, split-grill cars, has garnered so much attention and curiosity based on its appearance. People were literally circling the coupe in the supermarket lot trying to take it all in, and our parking attending was full of questions about what it was. "It's a,...

Ten Minutes On Green with Audi's Johan de NysschenAt the recent 12 Hours of Sebring, we had a chance to sit with Johan de Nysschen, President of Audi of America for a brief discussion of what the company's point man thinks about green trends in the U.S.
We don't claim to know the personal histories of every auto executive, but it's doubtful few other corporate presidents grew up racing modifieds in South Africa. Johan de Nysschen smiles broadly as he remembers, "We gave those guys running...

2009 Toyota Camry HybridAlthough the Camry Hybrid is a nice, economical cloud to ride in, it is insulated from any inkling of driving fun.
The Camry is roomy, well-equipped, and has a very straightforward hybrid monitoring system for the driver. You can look at a needle swinging through a large MPG gauge, which also alerts you to EV mode. I honestly never engaged with this car, mostly because it was so overassisted and underdamped. The front end bobs and wanders, needing constant...

Review: 2009 Toyota VenzaThe Family Truckster strikes back. If it's what's on the inside that counts, though, the Venza is a knockout.
The 2009 Toyota Venza has some lovely styling elements (like the character line that forms its broad rear shoulders) and some not-so-lovely elements (like the entire front end). Unfortunately, it has way too many of all of them. In fact, the last blunt-nosed, overstyled station wagon to use this many clichd styling cues was the Family Truckster - the fictional...

2010 Chevrolet Camaro SS Wallpaper GalleryThe new Camaro looks like the first-generation (1967-69) updated with fancy footwear and a smattering of Corvette cues. The hiked beltline and squished roof gives it a menacing but also heavy appearance.Read More | Digg It | Add to del.icio.usVia Automobile RSS Feed - 8 months 5 days ago

First Drive: 2009 BMW Z4 RoadsterNow exiting its awkward adolescence, BMW's Z4 Roadster sDrive35i may not have the purity of the old M Roadster, but it essentially equals its straight-line performance and its handling is even better.
BMW has redesigned its roadster for 2009, and the change amounts to comprehensive maturation if not quite the obvious transformation from newborn Z3 to adolescent Z4. The new two-seater retains the name Z4, but it adopts two new model designations, the awkward...
