The new flagship of the Bentley line, the Mulsanne is a dream on the road. And there’s no way in this space of listing all the amenities that the Mulsanne offers.

The 2011 Ford Mustang GT is a tiger when you want it to be but a pussycat when you’re putting around town with a wonderful exhaust note burbling behind you.

The Sonata Hybrid is borderline excellent as it stands today. Attention competition: It’s only going to get better.

The new Grand Cherokee is Tom Brady-like — Euro-grizzled, New England tough, equally at home on dirt roads or crashing in the Back Bay, and equally comfortable when its driver is wearing jeans, designer jeans, or a tux.

On the road the LaCrosse eAssist’s steering feel was steady and the ride was excellent, and the design and quality are excellent as ell.

Hyundai seems to have gotten it right with the Accent. The base model is adequate and the premium package adds just enough for a subcompact buyer. It’s easy to appreciate how much of a quantum leap the Accent has taken in its fourth generation.

We found the CTS to be the definition of a luxury coupe. On the road, the standard 3.6-liter direct injected V-6 offered all the oomph we needed. It’s a vehicle that begs you to “Give me a second look and admire me.”

The Honda Odyssey has raised the bar in its back-and-forth race with Chrysler-Dodge to top the minivan sales charts.

Cadillac has refined the SRX into a must-drive luxury crossover, wirst-class styling, and a classy and feature-laden interior.

I enjoyed driving the RX 450h. The ride is comfortable, predictable, and refined. Interior wood and leather are first class, as is the build quality. This is a Lexus all the way.

Toyota did a nice job styling the new Camry. On the road it’s exceptionally quiet and the ride is refined. Under the hood, the XLE’s V-6 gave amazing performance while giving us 27.2 miles per gallon.

Kia outdid itself with this redesign. The 2011 Optima is well-equipped at each price level and a winner in the “bang for your buck” category.
