Round and Round: Hypnotic Wheels at the 2008 SEMA Auto ShowThe 2008 SEMA Show in Las Vegas has been described by some as a candy-store for lovers of new aftermarket car and truck accessories. Check out these awesome wheels -- from gold-plated to tank-like -- and see what you're missing! |
2009 New Trucks: Sometimes You Just Need a HaulerSome people, regardless of the price of gas or economy, simply need a full-size truck. We to a look at six different full-size trucks – the 2009 Chevrolet Silverado, Dodge Ram, Ford F-150, GMC Sierra and Nissan Titan, plus the 2008 Toyota – and found that new-truck buyers have more choices than ever. We also found that competition improves the breed, and since to a certain extent these trucks are all equally capable in the hauling and towing arenas, manufacturers have introduced innovative and unique ways to reel in buyers. Here's a quick look. |
Overview: 2009 Dodge Ram 1500With its top-notch ride (for a truck), game-changing storage provisions and mighty Hemi V-8, the 2009 Dodge Ram is once again a must-see for truck shoppers. But, for class-leading capability, you'll need to look elsewhere. |
Hummer H2 SUT: A Beauty of a BeastGeneral Motors is making sounds like it wants to drop or trim its military-spawned sports utilities, the Hummer, because of high gas prices. We thought we'd better give you a quick look at them just in case they become extinct, given the new, green marketplace for gas-efficient cars. |
Hummer H3 AlphaThe 2008 Hummer H3 SUV Alpha V-8 is the direct opposite of the rubber band school of automotive motion. "Alpha" says it all. H3 is the alpha male of sports utilities now that General Motors added the 5.3L V-8. |
Toyota Land CruiserThe Toyota Land Cruiser is a sports utility that has gone straight. The Land Cruiser's best direction is dead ahead whether it's on or off road – it's a rock-bashing rocket. |
Volvo XC90Volvo used to make great station wagons but then the SUV surge came along. So Volvo now makes SPVs – Special Purpose Vehicles – and SPVs are great station wagons. |
Audi Q7When Porsche is in your DNA, then even sports utility vehicles can rise above themselves. Like the Audi Q7 – it comes from the stable that produced the Porsche Cayenne and Volkswagen Toureg. |
Kia Rondo EXThe Kia Rondo is a mini-minivan with a maximum amount of automotive goodies at a minimum price tag. That makes for a really, really different small car. |
Toyota TundraIf there is any knock on the new Toyota Tundra, it's that it's a little too nice for a pickup truck. That may be true for some of the fancier, larger Tundras, but not for the blue-collar Tundra regular cab. |
Jeep Grand Cherokee LimitedThe new Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited is simply the best handling big Jeep ever. |
Mazda CX-7With acronyms abound for sports utility vehicles (SUVs), and car-based SUVs becoming CUVs, the Mazda CX-7 should be a RUV (rocket utility vehicle.) |
