2010 Chevrolet Equinox - Chevy Crossover SUV Review - Automobile Magazine
Is Chevy ready to lead the segment?

Nowhere to go but up
The first-generation Chevrolet Equinox compact crossover might as well have arrived with a 10-mpg supercharged V-12. In a segment that prefers four-cylinder engines to six-cylinder units almost two-to-one, Chevrolet was fighting an uphill battle when it launched a crossover that only offered a V-6 and was burdened with a price of entry $4,000 higher than competitors in 2005.

2010 Lincoln MKZ
2010 Lincoln MKZ - Lincoln Luxury Sedan Review - Automobile Magazine
Though not in the same league as some of the foreign competitors who've been at the near-luxe game for awhile, the MKZ is a very respectable refresh.

The attention that Lincoln paid to refining the aging Lincoln MKZ (née Zephyr) platform was immediately evident when I wheeled our silver test car out of the parking structure. There's a newfound sense of solidity and refinement to the car that should be apparent to anyone who's ever driven the previous models. To be sure, the MKZ is not yet on par with the Lexus ES350 or the Acura TL, but it is much closer to a luxury-car experience than before.
