| There's nothing sexier than a 'Vette, and the 2006 Chevy Corvette proves this once again with its stylish new look and road-hugging attitude.

|
| The hottest edition to the Ford car line up this year, the Fusion blends style with the performance of its forebearers. The new sedan is spunky and urban friendly.
[FORD
FUSION REVIEW] |
 |
|
| The
Z4 M has accepted certain
donations from the remarkable
M3 coupe such as basic underpinnings
and road-loving suspension
and the awe-inspiring 3.2
liter inline six cylinder
engine.
[BMW
Z4M REVIEW] |
 |
|
| The
six cylinder engine responds
quickly to each request for
power and does so with no
discernable howl or shriek,
just a controlled growl letting
you know it’s hard at work.

| Raider
as a new truck for Mitsubishi
borrows chassis and powertrains
from the Dodge Dakota but
brings its own classy designs
for exterior sheetmetal and
cab appointments.

OPTIMA REVIEW] |
 |
|
|
Somehow, Dodge has found a
way to put hip into an automotive
segment that other than for
a short time in the 50's and
60's, was never considered
anything other than practical.

| The
shape of the BMW 5 series
was penned by American born
automotive designer Chris
Bangle. He is also responsible
for the new 3 Series, 6 Series,
7 Series and Z4 Roadster.
[BMW
530XI REVIEW] |
 |
|
A
robust new tube-through-tube
frame that's stronger and
far less flexible than the
previous chassis becomes a
core ingredient for the 2006
Explorer, and it carries a
suspension system rarely found
on a truck.
[FORD
EXPLORER REVIEW] |
 |
|
| The
Odyssey is so good in fact,
it is now considered by many
to be the measuring stick
by which all family vans are
compared and is in my opinion,
one of the main reasons why
the family van market will
continue for many years to
come.
[HONDA
ODYSSEY REVIEW] |
 |
|
| Kia,
the crafty automaker from
South Korea, rolled original
Rio ashore five years ago
as an eensy-weensy economy
box. It brought a tepid powerplant,
a tin-can passen-ger compartment
with no frills and no fun,
but a tiny price tag.
[KIA
RIO REVIEW] |
 |
|
| This
new roadster convertible,
riding on a rigid platform
rigged with a broad track
and long-drawn wheelbase,
employs independent suspension
systems fore and aft with
shocks connecting to 18-inch
wheels and sticky Goodyear
rubber.
[PONTIAC
SOLSTICE REVIEW] |
 |
|
| Built
on a fully welded steel frame,
the H3 offers power-assisted
rack-and-pinion steering,
independent front suspension
and a hardy multi-leaf rear
suspension setup. Resting
on monotube gas-charged shocks,
it presents a smooth riding
experience..
[HUMMER
H3 REVIEW] |
 |

Comfortably
seating four adults, C70 proved
to be an attention-getter
even on Maui's twisting highways
where devastatingly steep
cliffs, cascading waterfalls
and the vast Pacific typically
capture the most eyes.
[VOLVO
C70 REVIEW] |
 |
|
| Consider
the Sonata for '06 completely
new in size, style and mechanical
components. It fits in the
class of a mid-size sedan,
but seems more like the cabin
of a large-size car.
[HYUNDAI
SONATA REVIEW] |
 |
|
| The
new, eighth-generation Civic
for 2006 offers more of what
consumers look for: A roomier
interior than its predecessor,
more powerful and fuel-efficient
engines and more safety features.
[HONDA
CIVIC REVIEW] |
 |
|
| The
autonomous personality of
the new A3 makes clear Audi’s
intention to penetrate the
affordable car market with
bravado. With taut hatchback
looks and sprinter's stance,
the A3 2.0T enters center
stage with instant presence.
[AUDI
A3 REVIEW] |
 |
|
| The
brand devoted exclusively
to four-wheel-drive vehicles
adds a brawny new SUV to the
2006 class. The squared-off
Commander wagon looks like
a modern interpretation of
Jeep classics like Wagoneer
and Cherokee.
[JEEP
COMMANDER REVIEW] |
 |
|
| attitude
is something the new Jetta
GLI has in spades. An aggressive,
blacked out grille dominates
the fascia of this sport sedan.
The racy paint scheme that
extends to the lower half
of the body, and large, oval
styled headlights with round
lower foglights.
[JETTA
GLI REVIEW] |
 |
|
| Consider
it a new crossover - the platform
comes from the mid-size M
Class of sport-utility vehicles
and the body resembles a low-slammed
station wagon but the function
combines traits of the wagon,
sport-ute and limo-like sedan.

 |
|
| This
stylish wagon, cast on a new
unibody structure for 2006
with class-leading safety
features aboard plus the option
of a multi-mode four-wheel-drive
(4WD) traction mechanism,
delivers strong torque from
the standard six-pack powertrain.

With
the recent spike in gas prices
in this country,
small wagons and hatchbacks
provide a more prudent
form of transportation. For
2006 we have one of
the best vehicles yet for
consideration.

| A
clean sheet was used to design
the new 3. Styling ques were
taken from the rest of the

dramatic flare. Exterior dimensions
have been increased, (wheelbase
adds 1.4 inches) offering
improved looks and interior
space.

| The
all-new 2006 version of the
Dodge Charger is a worthy
successor to the nameplate.
Like its predecessor, the
new Charger is equally capable
of quick acceleration and
straight-line speed.

The
Ridgeline gives a week-end
projecteer lugging space for
fire wood, potted plants,
sand pile sand - even barnyard
detritus - without worrying
about sharing space like you
do in an SUV with the mess
or the odor.
[HONDA
RIDGELINE REVIEW] |
 |
|
| You
see, the battle to be number
one in the luxury car segment
is a knock down; drag ‘em
out, no holds bar war. To
assume anything less is to
underestimate the true value
of the luxury car buyer to
automotive manufacturers.
