Ford S-Max Titanium X Sport - Automobile Magazine
The sport sedan masquerading as a family transporter.

You can't buy Ford's S-Max people mover, nor are we likely to see one of these highly versatile crossovers cross our shores for at least three years. That's a pity because this Belgian-built five-door wagon is one of the hottest shots in Ford's global arsenal.

2010 Land Rover Range Rover Supercharged
2010 Land Rover Range Rover Supercharged - Automobile Magazine
A flawless combination of utility, off-road capability, and luxury.

I was really impressed with the automatic adjustable suspension; after loading my car onto the trailer, the rear end of the Range Rover was compressed quite a bit, but after starting the Range Rover and letting it sit for a minute, it automatically lifted the rear end back to a level ride height.
