SUV/Truck

What else delivers the Sportage SX’s level of performance, packaging, styling, comfort and fuel economy for around $26K? Nothing, that’s what. Yes, this is a Kia, and it’s damn good.

The 2011 Ford F-150 Raptor is a far more satisfying machine with this new engine, and easily the most entertaining product you can be in when the pavement ends.

SUV/Truck

The Super Duty is an exercise in superlatives right now. Right now, it’s the best full-size pickup on the road; it’s powerful, smart, comfortable, clean as a whistle and the same price as the outgoing models.

Sedan

The Optima SX’s mixture of speed, style, and sophistication is a quantum leap for the brand. If Kia covered this car’s emblems, owners of upscale brands wouldn’t hesitate to take a second look.

We’re daydreaming about the Lincoln MKT’s torque curve and the fantastic interior. Now excuse us, we need to draw little hearts in our notebooks around the EcoBoost logo.

Conventional wisdom would have us believe Americans can’t compete with Japanese rivals on quality and economy. The 2010 Chevy Equinox seeks to prove GM can.

Convertible

The IS Convertible is a raging deal for the segment and doesn’t really have any glaring faults. It is a competent grand tourer, but not a sports car.

The 2010 Lexus RX350 is a hugely competent car for people who don’t care about driving. Lexus continues to distill the RX down to the ultimately perfect luxury crossover.

If you didn’t know better, you’d think the HS 250h was no different than any other Lexus, just equipped with an annoying CVT transmission.
