2009 Honda Odyssey Touring - Honda Minivan Review - Automobile Magazine
Always was - and still is - a better alternative to the SUV.

With all the talk of fuel economy these days, you might be fooled into thinking that 25 mpg on the EPA's highway test is impressive for a mid-size car. I don't think it is. 25 mpg is, however, an impressive result for a 4700-lb vehicle that can carry eight passengers in quiet comfort. When it comes to hauling people and stuff, the minivan was a better alternative twenty years ago, it was a better alternative to all of those big, ungainly SUVs people insisted on driving, and it's still a better alternative today.

Should Congress approve a Big Three bailout? No, it'll be painful, but the US automakers must be left to their fate instead of being bailed out by the US government, argues Mark Bursa.

2009 Land Rover Range Rover Sport Supercharged - Land Rover SUV Review - Automobile Magazine
Land Rover did a great job styling the RR Sport: its beefy, sporty appearance goes perfectly with its clearly Land Rover look.

I'm not the biggest Range Rover guy, but I really enjoyed my time with this SUV. Although I know the ute is still a capable off-roader (so too are most Land Rovers), I was able to play with this toy only on the street - the environment that most, if not all, Range Rover Sport models are destined for.
