First Look: 2011 Nissan NV
Posted by: | CommentsFirst Look: 2011 Nissan NV A new commercial van player. For the past decade the commercial van segment has been idle with the same stale vehicles: Ford E-series, Chevrolet Express, and Mercedes-Benz (formerly Dodge) Sprinter. So the addition of another player to the game with a whole new model is big news.inline_mediumwraptextright28357939/features/news/1003_2011_nissan_nv1003_01_z+2011_nissan_nV+front_three_quarter_view.jpgTrue Photo Gallery: 2011 Nissan NV – Nissan Fullsize Commercial Van – Automobile Magazine Read More | Digg It | Add to del.icio.us

2010 Toyota Venza AWD
Posted by: | Comments2010 Toyota Venza AWD We can’t seem to generate any enthusiasm for this Toyota Venza. The Venza is a perfectly nice five-passenger tall wagon, as far as space, appointments, and utility are concerned. I just don’t understand why Toyota is building it. The company already had an overfull quiver of hatchback crossover things, so why add the strange-looking Venza to the bunch?

First Look: 2011 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Carbon Edition
Posted by: | CommentsFirst Look: 2011 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Carbon Edition To let you know the Corvette is alive and kicking. A new seventh-generation (C7) Corvette is at least three years away. That means the current C6 Vette will have to soldier on for nine, possibly ten, full model years. To keep the old girl fresh, Chevy will continue coining limited-edition packages and model variations to juggle the storehouse of engines, transaxles, frames, bodystyles, and chassis components developed for the sixth generation.inline_mediumwraptextright28344964/features/news/1003_2011_chevrolet_corvette_z06_carbon_edition1003_01_z+2011_chevrolet_corvette_z06_carbon_edition+front_three_quarter_view.jpgTrue Read More | Digg It | Add to del.icio.us

2010 Ford Transit Connect XLT Wagon
Posted by: | Comments2010 Ford Transit Connect XLT Wagon Here, finally, is an interesting package that combines great interior space with a relatively compact footprint. I was part expecting and part hoping that the Transit Connect with rear windows and five seats would become a cult family vehicle for a small subset of the American population. Having driven the cargo version, I should have known better. The wagon variant is slightly more livable than the hauler with marginally reduced wind noise and far better visibility.

First Drive: 2011 Volkswagen Touareg Hybrid
Posted by: | CommentsFirst Drive: 2011 Volkswagen Touareg Hybrid Volkswagen’s first hybrid. Why a hybrid? The Volkswagen Touareg has always been a bit of an odd man out in the world of SUVs. It arrived to the party a bit late, and since it plays in a segment of the market that’s not exactly luxury, but certainly not entry-level, it doesn’t exactly have any direct competitors
