2010 Ford Flex with EcoBoost - Ford Crossover SUV Review - Automobile Magazine
For those able to foot the bill, the 2010 Ford Flex with EcoBoost is an engaging, unique offering in the crossover segment.

With the 2010 model year, Ford is marking the start of its EcoBoost initiative, a plan that will dramatically effect the company's entire lineup in the coming years. By using turbocharging and direct injection with smaller-displacement engines, Ford says it can offer better performance and fuel economy.

2009 BMW 335i Coupe - BMW Luxury Sport Coupe Review - Automobile Magazine
Three years have passed since we first saw a turbocharged 3-series, but the 2009 BMW 335i is still both sweet and satisfying.

If there's one stereotype of an automotive journalist I don't mind living up to, it's the unadulterated love for BMW's 3-series. Although my last experience with the car (a 328i sedan with summer tires) was marred by several inches of snow, my weekend spent with this 335i coupe was nothing short of perfection.
