Four Seasons Introduction: 2009 BMW 750Li
2009 BMW 750Li - Four Seasons Intro Review - Automobile Magazine
Automobile Magazine has just taken delivery of a stunning Cashmere Silver Metallic 2009 BMW 750Li with Oyster Nappa leather interior as the newest addition to our Four Seasons test fleet. And we're driving it home from California.

Automobile Magazine has just taken delivery of a stunning cashmere silver metallic 2009 BMW 750Li as the newest addition to our Four Seasons test fleet. Our long-wheelbase luxo-cruiser has a sumptuous oyster Nappa leather interior, and to help sample all of the long-wheelbase 7's new technology, we've piled on almost every available option. By skipping only the sport, luxury rear seating, and driver assistance packages, our 750Li's sticker ballooned to a recession-busting $103,720. But there isn't much point in driving a stripper 7-series, now is there?

Swedish tradition puts form over function. Scandinavians have indeed become masters in the art of drawing attractive shapes with sometimes questionable utility. That's exactly the impression I got from the 2009 Volvo XC90 R-Design. This big SUV, which used to be renowned for its comfort and solid feel on the road, has shifted to a sportier-looking mold.

2009 Lincoln MKX AWD
2009 Lincoln MKX AWD - Lincoln Midsize Crossover SUV Review - Automobile Magazine
While the MKX won't fool hard-bitten enthusiasts, this handsome crossover does appeal to exactly the clientele Lincoln needs - younger buyers without the slightest interest in Town Cars and Navigators.

I don't mind the styling of the Lincoln MKX and its corporate cousin, the Ford Edge, but the MKX doesn't really look like I expect a Lincoln to look. Instead, I see it simply as an Edge in fancy eveningwear. I think part of the problem is that, when the MXK was created, Lincoln's renaissance was just in its infancy. And even though there have been lots of new products, the brand has lacked a coherent design language until, arguably, this year. Styling cues are now shared across the MKS sedan, the MKZ sedan, the upcoming MKT seven-seat crossover, and even the C concept from this year's Detroit auto show, but the MKX is the odd man out.
