There are still car buyers who like a retro feel and drive, but it was time for Jaguar to get back in the game. The old-school design had to go, in order to attract a younger customer base, without necessarily rivalling the likes of Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Audi. Within the halls of Jaguar's headquarters, tweed jackets are definitely out. Full story...

First Drive: 2011 Nissan Quest
2011 Nissan Quest First Drive - Automobile Magazine
Seeing the Quest in person brings to mind a design executed in drywall.

Seeing the Quest in person brings to mind a design executed in drywall. The sides of this van are enormous and nearly flat, a perception enhanced by the van's 6-foot 1-inch height and fact the doors wrap under the body. Even the optional 18-inch wheels look small in the wheel wells. On the plus side, the new Quest displays more design personality than the all-new Toyota Sienna and appears more cohesive than the all-new Honda Odyssey. The Sienna, however, looks a bit cleaner (if blander) because the rear-door tracks are concealed along the lower edge of the rear windows.

2011 Ford Taurus Limited
2011 Ford Taurus Limited - Automobile Magazine
Today's Taurus is one large barge.

Don't let the pretty face, slender daylight openings, and the Taurus nameplate (previously tacked onto Ford's mid-size model) fool you. Today's Taurus is one large barge. I was deceived until it came time to maneuver it into my garage. At 202.9 inches long-16.2 inches longer than the Lincoln MKX I recently drove, and just 10 inches shy of the outgoing Crown Victoria -- I barely had enough room to close the garage door and slip past the nose into my apartment.
