It’s not often that I drive a car that’s as well-rounded as the Lexus ES 300h. This mid-size car is spacious, comfortable, luxurious, and gets astonishingly good gas mileage. Outside, the ES 300h and it’s traditionally-engined ES 350 brother are stylish and sophisticated, though pretty conservative in their looks.

There’s nothing quite like a Bentley. The British automaker’s elegant and powerful cars are the ultimate extravagance. Driven by a 528 horsepower, twin-turbocharged 4-liter engine, the all-wheel drive Continental GT V8 S offers tremendous power, while at the same time lavishing you in creature comforts.

The Audi Q3 is a compact crossover that’s been in production for a few years overseas, but has just made its way to the U.S. and Canada. Despite its small footprint, it seats five, and it’s an ideal choice for small families and for first-time Audi buyers.

The Toyota Camry has long been one of the most popular cars made. Having sold over 10 million vehicles since it first launched, it would be easy for Toyota to rest on their laurels. However, just three years after the Camry’s last major redesign, they’ve launched a mid-cycle refresh which is so comprehensive that over 1,900 parts in the car have changed from the prior year’s model.

The Hyundai Veloster has been on the market for a few years now, but this is the first time I’ve been able to get behind the wheel of one. In particular, I spent a week getting to know a Veloster Turbo, complete with the beautiful matte grey paint job you see here.

Ever since the Lexus RC F was first shown off at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show, I’ve been dying to get behind the wheel of the sporty new coupe. So when Lexus invited me out to the track at New York’s Monticello Motor Club to test drive the entire RC line, I was totally stoked.

The 2015 Genesis sedan marks a major milestone for Hyundai, with a major redesign that launches the value-minded carmaker into the luxury automotive sector with great success. Unlike other cars (including past efforts by Hyundai) which just load up on premium features to call themselves “luxury”, the Genesis backs it up with performance, comfort, and excellent driving characteristics.

With the Corolla being the best-selling car of all time, Toyota had to strike a balance between preserving the economy and practicality of the popular daily driver with updates to compete with today's ever more premium vehicles…

The Lincoln MKZ is the luxury variant of the Ford Fusion. Given the fact that the Fusion is one of my favorite mid-size cars in recent years, Lincoln has a pretty solid head start with the MKZ.

When the Scion FR-S first came on the scene a couple of years back, I had an opportunity to drive one through the Hollywood Hills for an afternoon. While I really enjoyed my experience, I didn’t get the chance to do an in-depth review.

Back in 2011, Hyundai took their first giant leap to take the Sonata from a middle-of the-road mid-size sedan to a real contender for the best in its class. In my opinion, with the 2015 Sonata, they’ve jumped into the top echelon, along with the Chrysler 200, Kia Optima and Ford Fusion, leaving competitors like the Toyota Camry, Honda Accord, Nissan Altima and Chevy Malibu in the dust.

The 2014 Lexus GS450h is a luxury hybrid sedan that sits at the top of the current GS line. The GS450h competes with such cars as the BMW 528, Audi A7 and Infiniti Q70. The car blends comfort and performance while benefitting from the fuel economy and reduced emissions of a hybrid drivetrain.

The Land Rover Range Rover Evoque is one of the most distinctive crossover SUVs on the road, and it’s marketed as the ideal blend of luxury and utility. The vehicle comes in two primary body styles, a 5-door, and a 3-door coupe.

The first time I saw the 2015 Chrysler 200 at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show, I was somewhat non-plussed. I figured, eh, it’s another middle-of-the-road, mid-size car like the Camry or the Accord. Not that there’s anything wrong with those cars, they’re just a little boring.

I drove this awesome looking 2014 Camaro 2SS convertible for about a week, and I have to say this is one of those rare times where a vehicle truly challenged my expectations. I had in my mind that a V8 Camaro would be a brutish, loud muscle car, best suited to the track.
