The American Way - Automobile Magazine
The Grand-Am series provides bang for the buck -- which might be the solution to sports car racing's perennial flameouts in the United States.

Sustainability. Over and over, that word cropped up in conversations with drivers, team owners, and series personnel at the Grand-Am races at Barber Motorsports Park near Birmingham, Alabama.

First Drive: 2011 BMW X3
2011 BMW X3 - First Drive - Automobile Magazine

The first was an obviously cost-cut interior and the second was a seriously harsh ride. Although the X3 was thematically similar to the pioneering X5, it was very much a step down not only in price but also in execution.
