2011 Lexus IS 350 AWD Review (video)

Stay connected Subscribe to our RSS feed
Want a premium sedan? Not interested in undue attention from aspiring rappers? Be sure to jot 'Lexus IS' down on your 'To-Test-Drive' list. Unlike many competitors, Lexus's smallest non-hybrid sedan plays the 'modest' card where visuals are concerned--skipping the chrome, huge wheels, and child-eating grille in favour of a look that doesn't scream for attention.

2012 Subaru Impreza Preview

Stay connected Subscribe to our RSS feed
Subaru is one of the few companies I'm always eager to see unveil their latest models. Unlike most car manufacturers, their redesign and model overhauls are often dramatic, if nothing short of shocking, especially when it comes to exterior looks. Drastic facelifts have been the norm for Subaru over the years, and while the brand-new 2012 might not be sporting a shockingly different look, it's definitely gone through enough changes to attract attention.

First Drive: 2012 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Coupe
2012 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Coupe - First Drive - Automobile Magazine
AMG's most compact offering, now with a racier new body shell.

The addition of a two-door coupe to the C-class lineup has given AMG the opportunity to expand the family of its popular C63 AMG model. Currently offered as a sedan and (in Europe) a wagon, the C63 adds a coupe variant for the 2012 model year. Mechanically, the coupe and sedan are identical, with one significant upgrade coming to both for 2012. The two-door is the same size as its four-door sibling, but its lower body, more intimate cabin, and sportier styling make it a racier distillation of the C63 formula.

2011 Scion xB
2011 Scion xB - Editors' Notebook - Automobile Magazine
A car for those who enjoy style and individuality.

The Scion xB is not a car for people who enjoy driving but for those who enjoy style and individuality. The xB isn't exactly my style, but lots of people seem to like it, based on its sales numbers and how many I see on the road. Still, the xB's market share clearly is suffering since the introduction of other boxy competitors such as the Kia Soul and the Nissan Cube. Both outsold the xB last year, and xB sales have fallen off in recent years, from a high of more than 61,000 in 2006 to just 20,000 in 2010. The Soul sold 67,000 units in 2010, almost three times as many copies as the Nissan Cube, its nearest competitor; the aging Honda Element brings up the rear of the pack in the 14,000 range.
