2011 Lexus CT200h Premium - Editors' Notebook - Automobile Magazine
An interesting attempt to give the Lexus brand some character.

Even as it successfully launched its Scion brand to attract the youth market, Toyota did little to attract a younger audience for its Lexus brand. The new CT200h hybrid hatch is an attempt to change that. Lexus hopes that its combination of performance and its green image will capture the attention of affluent buyers in their 30s and 40s.

2011 Mazda MX-5 Miata Summer: Ann Arbor to Chicago sans Expressway
2011 Mazda MX-5 Miata Summer - Ann Arbor to Chicago sans Expressway - Automobile Magazine
A twist on a familiar route.

As an employee of Automobile Magazine, it pains me to admit I don't always look for the most fun route between point A and point B. I love to drive for the sake of driving but some days I just need to get where I'm going as efficiently as possible. Right now my wife works in Chicago while I work in Ann Arbor, so I spend a lot of time driving between our two houses and I always stick to expressways and toll roads to shave time off the weekly trips. But that becomes very monotonous.

2011 Nissan Leaf - It's Cool, But I Don't Want One - Automobile Magazine
WEEK THREE: May 31 - June 6, 2011

In many ways, I'm the perfect candidate for a Nissan Leaf electric car. I live just three miles away from my workplace, I have a garage in which I could charge the car each night, and I have another gasoline-powered car for trips that exceed the Leaf's maximum range. Yet after driving it as my only vehicle for six days, I'm not convinced that I could live with the Nissan Leaf.
