2010 BMW 335D

2010 335dThe 2010 335d will erase those bad memories forever - if you'll give it 5.9 seconds of your time. That's how long it will take for the twin-turbo'd, direct-injected 3 liter diesel six to get you to 60 mph. This powerhouse makes 265 hp and an astounding 425 lbs.-ft of torque - output comparable to a large displacement V-8, but without the big V-8's appetite for fuel.At 80 mph, the engine is barely idling at 2,000 RPM. At 120, it is just beginning to stretch its legs.A gas-burning 335i is slightly quicker to 60 and about as fast, all out - but you'll be stopping more often given its SUV-like 17 MPG city and 26 MPG highway.The diesel is electric motor quiet on the highway and almost impossible to distinguish from a gas engine...

2010 Jaguar XJ

2010 Jaguar XJHow do you update an icon without losing the iconic look - and the buyers who revere the icon?The first toe in the proverbial water was last year's XF - which replaced the very traditional-looking "Old School" S-Type mid-sized sedan. It was a n extremely risky move. Would Jaguar purists object - and abandon the marque? And even more importantly, would Lexus, BMW and Mercedes buyers like the new XF enough to cross shop? The Motor Gods smiled upon Jaguar. Current Jaguar owners did not curl their lips at the XF's sportier, younger-looking (but still "Jaguar") silhouette. And potential prospects who hadn't even considered a Jag in years were showing definite interest.The 2010 XJ completes Jaguar's model lineup makeover -...

2010 Mercedes-Benz S400 hybrid

Recently passed Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) rules will punish any car company whose "fleet average" gas mileage is lower than 35 mpg with gas guzzler penalties that could amount to several thousand dollars per car. This would make individual cars more expensive for consumers - and less profitable for the automakers. Hence the hybrid Benz S400.Instead of the usual V-8 (or V-12) engine and single-digit city and mid-teens fuel economy, the S400's V-6/hybrid powertrain delivers 26 mpg on the highway - and a very respectable (for a full-size, premium sedan) 19 mpg in city-type driving. While not quite 35 mpg, it's considerably closer to that mark than the previous V-8 powered S550's 14 city, 22 highway - and the single digit...

2010 Aston Martin Rapide

It was also a Hail Mary attempt to save Aston Martin, the company, from going out of business. At the time of the Lagonda's press introduction in the fall of 1975, the British automaker was on the verge of financial collapse. The four-door Lagonda, it was hoped, would provide the company entree into the ultra-premium luxury sedan market - where it could perhaps lure away some Rolls-Royce, Bentley and Maserati buyers in the mood for something different - as well as infuse some much-needed operating capital to keep the company afloat.The strategy worked, brilliantly. Even before production began, Aston received hundreds of cash deposits for the car. The Lagonda thus saved the company - and set the stage for the pending launch, some...

2010 Porsche Panamera

The Cayenne quickly became one of Porsche's most popular models.But though it's a potent performer on and off-road, the 4WD Cayenne was never intended to be an all-out sports car like its 911, Cayman and Boxster siblings.Something was still missing from the Porsche lineup.With the introduction of the 2010 Panamera sport sedan, Porsche fills in that gap with a machine that offers the no-compromises driving experience of a high-performance coupe in a body that just happens to have four doors.The car sits low - the top of its roof is only about four-and-a-half feet off the ground (55.8 inches). That's nearly a foot lower than the roofline of the current Cayenne - and within inches of the race car profile of the current 911 (51.6 inches)....
