Big and imposing, there is quite simply, nothing else like it, in terms of looks, quality and luxury. It’s a pleasure to drive and for those who can afford it, the Phantom today, much as it always has, remains in a league of its own among luxury motorcars.

Tthe 2011 Subaru Impreza WRX STI proves that there’s still a lot to be said about owning an automobile that delivers world-beating performance without breaking the bank.

Blindingly fast, fun to drive, yet able to get rough when called upon, the Land Rover Range Rover Sport is perhaps the closest thing to a true all-rounder. It’s one of the few machines that truly deserves the title ‘Sport Utility Vehicle.’

The 500 Abarth, despite its diminutive size and decent 28/34 mpg rating, feels refreshingly raw in an age of electronic enhanced performance, with a character and style that’s uniquely Italian.

Today the heavy duty pickup segment is more hotly contested than ever before, yet the 2010 Dodge Ram Heavy Duty is still one of the best buys on the market.

These days, it seems that it’s getting harder and harder to find an automobile that truly delivers maximum fun for the dollar, but the 2011 Subaru Impreza WRX comes pretty darned close.

While it might not win any awards in the fuel economy category, the combination of standard symmetrical all-wheel drive, a good chassis and a surprising amount of cargo space, make the Subaru Forester an attractive proposition.

When it comes down to it, as far as luxury brand hybrids go, the 2011 MKZ is an efficient and, therefore, a smart choice. But without the futuristic style of Toyota’s hybrid offerings, it might be considered as the Boomer’s green vehicle choice.

The new Super Duty’s combination of power, capability and refinement have once again raised the bar for the segment and at this juncture, it looks like GM and Ram have a bit of homework to do in order to match it.

Should you consider the Optima Hybrid when shopping for an ecological friendly vehicle? For those who want a stylish, well-built, value oriented sedan that just happens to be a hybrid, then the answer will likely be a resounding yes.

Tf the looks, ride and features of the Taurus already have it on your shopping list, then opting to down-size what’s under the hood to the 2.0L EcoBoost in order to add both power and fuel economy is a no-brainer.

The great thing about the Sierra is there’s a trim level and configuration to suit just about every taste and budget. Despite its interior fixtures, this truck is going to be a fairly tough act to follow.
