2009 Land Rover Range Rover HSE
2009 Land Rover Range Rover HSE - Land Rover Luxury SUV Review - Automobile Magazine
For the large chunk of cash you'll need to bring a 2009 Range Rover HSE home, you'll at least get a solid, capable, luxury SUV with legendary off-road abilities.

Now this is what a luxury SUV should be. The Range Rover is fast - especially between 40 and 80 mph - its power delivery is velvety smooth, and its suspension tuning is nearly perfect. It's amazing how well the Range Rover smooths out rough surfaces and even potholes while still being able to tackle the most extreme off-road tasks. The steering is communicative and nicely weighted without being too heavy at low speeds. The turning radius is also impressive.

2010 BMW 5-series Gran Turismo - First Look Review - Automobile Magazine
Sedan? Wagon? Hatchback? Call it what you will, but don't deem the new 2010 BMW 5-series Gran Turismo a "progressive activity sedan."

At the 2009 Geneva motor show, rumor had it that BMW's 5-series Gran Turismo concept, a shapely convergence of sedan, wagon, and hatchback, was a good look at a forthcoming production model. Hindsight proves those rumors true-you're looking at the production-intent 2010 BMW 5-series Gran Turismo, which mirrors the concept down to the awkward "GT" badge on its rump.
