Posted by: | CommentsUS F1: The Winning Formula If nothing else, the article that follows is the story of what might have been. Going into the 2010 season, we at Automobile Magazine were convinced that US F1 — the first American Formula 1 team in a generation — was going to be the motorsports story of the year. We were right.

History: Chevrolet Corvette Racing Then and Now
Posted by: | CommentsHistory: Chevrolet Corvette Racing Then and Now America’s favorite sports car is about to commence another season of road racing. This June marks a golden anniversary in Corvette lore: fifty years ago, the first Chevy sports cars took on the epic challenge of racing twice around the clock at LeMans. Three privately prepared cars were entered by the wealthy American sportsman Briggs Cunningham and one driven by John Fitch and Bob Grossman scored fifth place in the GT class with an eighth-overall finish and a average speed just under 98 mph.

2010 Mercedes-Benz GL350 Bluetec
Posted by: | Comments2010 Mercedes-Benz GL350 Bluetec The GL350 Bluetec’s base price of $60,825 makes it the least expensive GL you can buy, and it gets the best fuel mileage to boot. The Automobile Magazine test fleet has been blessed with a variety of diesel vehicles lately. From the mighty Ram 2500 with a Cummins down to a mere Jetta TDI wagon, we’ve sampled the vast majority of vehicles currently on sale in the U.S. with diesel engines since January.

Comparison: 2010 Cadillac SRX vs 2010 Audi Q5
Posted by: | CommentsComparison: 2010 Cadillac SRX vs 2010 Audi Q5 We thought it was time to measure the SRX against the best in its class, which, in our estimation, means the Audi Q5. Cadillac’s SRX has grown beyond its sporty wagon pretensions and is now targeting the heart of the luxury crossover market. The strategy seems to be working, as it’s already selling much better than the outgoing model (which, we should note, won a few Automobile Magazine All-Star awards in its time), and yet, it seems Cadillac isn’t quite ready to give up on having some high-roof fun. To that end, the premium model featured here has ditched the wheezy base 3.0-liter V-6 and standard front-wheel-drive configuration in favor of a turbocharged, 2.8-liter V-6 producing 300 hp and torque-vectoring all-wheel drive – the same setup found in the Saab 9-3 Aero and Opel Insignia OPC
