Last February at the Chicago Auto Show, Lexus unveiled the Five Axis Project CT, a CT 200h sporting a decidedly more aggressive look compared to the car currently available to consumers. Public reaction probably was very positive, as the Japanese luxury car maker will most likely draw from it to offer a 900-unit F Sport Performance special edition for the 2012 model.

I have to take this opportunity to thank some car manufacturers for ensuring that the business I so love remains as interesting and appealing as it is. I specifically want to address makers of "regular" cars such as Ford, Subaru, Honda, Nissan, Volkswagen and, in this instance, Mazda.

2011 Mini Cooper S Countryman ALL4 - Four Seasons Introduction - Automobile Magazine
Mini's biggest edition is our latest addition.

The Countryman is a big deal for Mini. It's likely to be the biggest selling of all the body styles added since the original hatchback. It's also the variant that most stretches the definition of what a Mini is. For these two reasons, we wanted to take an in-depth look at the Countryman, so we ordered one up for a Four Seasons test.

2011 Hyundai Elantra Touring SE - Editors' Notebook - Automobile Magazine
Spacious and versatile with impressive driving characteristics.

I had the chance to drive the Elantra Touring shortly after it came out in 2009. That car had a peppy four-banger with a lively chassis and a communicative clutch; sadly, this Elantra Touring was not that car. Two years on, the Elantra Touring still has plenty of around-town pickup from its 2.0-liter I-4, but the formerly lively chassis now suffers with body roll and the clutch has zero feel. The car's character -- or lack thereof -- begs for the automatic transmission, even if it is a few cogs short of the competition with only four forward speeds.
