EDITOR WES RAYNAL: I am surprised that the Toyota Tundra isn't selling better--that is, I'm surprised it hasn't cracked the Ford/Chevrolet and to a lesser extent Dodge stranglehold on the large-truck category. This is a good truck.

The 2011 Volvo S60 was one of the biggest surprises during Automobile Magazine's annual All-Stars testing last fall.

The 2011 Volvo S60 was one of the biggest surprises during Automobile Magazine's annual All-Stars testing last fall.

But the long-awaited second-generation S60 changed our perceptions so completely with its refinement and handling capabilities that we not only named it a 2011 All-Star, we decided to subject it to the ultimate shakedown, a Four Seasons test.
