2011 Toyota FJ Cruiser - Editors' Notebook - Automobile Magazine
There's nothing I love more than seeing a Toyota Land Cruiser 40 Series driving down the road.

I love seeing a classic Toyota Land Cruiser 40 Series driving down the road. No modern SUV wears rugged, rough, and charming good looks as well as the FJ40. The 2011 FJ Cruiser is no exception. Toyota's current nostalgia car is more of a chunky, puffy, distant relative of the 40 Series than actual kin. To my eyes, it doesn’t evoke any images of cars from half a century ago.

Driven: 2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302 - Automobile Magazine
A standout in a crowded corral.

Nowadays, it's no longer difficult to make a powerful muscle car, as evidenced by the proliferation of high-zoot ponycars that offer an honest 400-or-more horsepower. And while they are all exceedingly good at their number-one task: off-the-line acceleration, most aren't terribly well rounded performers. That makes the Boss 302 Mustang a standout in this now-crowded field.
