XF Gets Jaguar Back On Track
The Jaguar XF, which replaced the midsize S-Type in 2008, has revitalized the Jaguar brand. Over 50,000 copies of the XF have been sold worldwide. Undoubtedly, the main reason for its success has been its styling. Jaguar got away from its old traditional design, and came up with a fresh [...]

Revamped Mazdaspeed3 Better Than Ever
The Mazdaspeed3 is the pocket-rocket version of the Mazda3. It offers a pleasing combination of sports car performance, and hatchback practicality. The first generation “MS3” was a big hit, and now for 2010, Mazda has redesigned this speedy hatch, and improved it in almost every way.
The Speed uses the same 5-door [...]

Revamped XK Even Better
What is it about Jaguar sports cars that makes them so special? Performance is one thing, but styling is equally important. As long as I can remember, Jaguars have had great looks. The post-war XK120 was a show-stopper. The XKE of 1961 was an instant classic. And when the XK8 debuted over [...]

Audi Goes Soft Top With A5
Audi rolled the dice when they designed the new A5 Cabriolet. They equipped it with a conventional ragtop roof, instead of a retractable hardtop, like the one on BMW’s 335i. They may lose points with some potential buyers now, but the honchos at Audi decided that the additional weight and [...]

It used to be that you always had a choice when you bought a midsize car. You could select the traditional four-door sedan, or you could opt for the sportier coupe. That’s no longer the case. Now only two moderately priced midsize cars are offered both ways—the Honda Accord and the [...]

A Junior Version of the Evo
I’ll never forget the last Lancer Ralliart that I drove—it got me a speeding ticket. Of course, I can’t really blame the Ralliart, but it did bring out the boy-racer in me. The latest Ralliart will do the same, and I have to admit to some difficulty curbing my enthusiasm [...]

Lexus Hard Top Convertible is a Mixed Bag
I guess that you would have to say that it was a no-brainer for Lexus to build a hardtop convertible version of its sporty IS model. The IS platform was made to order for this type of car, and an IS hardtop convertible enables Lexus to compete [...]

A Miata by any Other Name is Still a Miata
I’ve never understood why Mazda dropped the Miata name from their popular MX5 sports car. Miata is the name that people have identified with this car for nearly two decades. Ask any enthusiast what this car is called, and he or she will tell you it’s [...]
