2008 Nissan Sentra SE-R
In the early 1990s, Nissan's Sentra SE-R was a star among budget hot rods, but recently it's been more of a bit player. This spring, an SE-R based on the new Sentra arrives. Again, it's offered in two strengths: regular SE-R (180 hp, CVT only) and the more ha more

2008 Lotus Exige S
Like its All-Star sister, the Elise roadster, the Lotus Exige coupe is a handling masterpiece that falls just short of unqualified praise because of its bipolar engine. On the track, the Toyota 1.8-liter four will scream all day without a hiccup. However, if t more

2008 Lamborghini LP640 Murcilago Roadster
6 months after the hardtop Murcilago LP640 debuted, Lamborghini has come to Los Angeles with the roadster version. Lambo's LP640 designation means this is the even higher performance version of the Murcilago. LP stands for the engine's mid-engined, longitu more

2008 Ford Escape
The 2008 Ford Escape, making its debut at the 2006 Los Angeles Auto Show, is completely redesigned. Ford didn't want to mess with a good thing though--the Escape has been the best-selling small SUV since its introduction--so you'll see nothing radical here. T more

2008 Chrysler Sebring Convertible
Significance: No, it isn't the cutest convertible on the market, but at least it's got some cool features. But the heated cup holders and a music-holding hard drive pale in comparison to the top options: vinyl, cloth, and steel are all available. more

2008 Saturn Vue XR
Significance: Other than the fact that the outgoing model looks like a middle school science project? This good-looking ute will soon be available as a mild or two-mode hybrid, with promises that a plug-in version is in the works. On the other end of the spect more

2008 Saturn Vue Pricing Announced
Saturn's onslaught of new products continues with the new 2008 Saturn Vue. With the addition of this vehicle, only the lowly Ion carries the torch for old-school Saturn-think (at least, until the Astra arrives.) Like the Aura and Sky, the Vue shares its platfo more

2008 GMC Yukon Hybrid
No, you aren't experiencing dj vu. The vehicle you see right here is the GMC Yukon version of the Chevrolet Tahoe two-mode hybrid that debuted at last January's Detroit auto show. It marks the first time (besides the Tahoe, of course) that anyone has taken more

2008 Buick Enclave
At a recent preview look at the new Enclave, Buick boss Steve Shannon was overheard whispering that the new crossover was "the closest thing we've ever had to no excuses" and he's probably right. When the Enclave goes on sale in mid-May, it will be priced "sig more

2008 Kia Cee'd
Kia's cee'd concept, which debuted at this year's Geneva auto show, appears to have blossomed into a pretty impressive production car. Spelled c-e-e-'-d (lowercase 'c' and all), the unusual moniker was chosen to represent the company's growing sales as well as more

2008 Volkswagen Scirocco
I begged senior editor Joe DeMatio to let me go to Berlin for the unveiling of Volkswagen's IROC, the concept version of the soon-to-be resurrected VW Scirocco. My argument was simple: I'm the only person in the office who owns a vintage Scirocco, so I should more

2008 Volkswagen Tiguan Clean Diesel
Significance: The people's brand finally gets a small SUV, and based on the GTI, it should be a good driver. The Tiguan's clean diesel--a first in the segment--will be efficient and powerful. Let the diesel revolution begin. more

2008 Dodge Avenger
As concept cars go, the Dodge Avenger may not be the most exciting thing on four wheels, but it at least looks promising. And although Chrysler's famously ordinary mid-size Sebring sedan fails to make us wet ourselves with glee, the Avenger concept--which was r more

2008 Audi S3
We like to dream every so often. Which is a good thing, because our dreams of the Audi S3 coming to port here in the U.S. will, most likely, never become reality. We don't, after all, get the 3-door version of the A3 on which the S3 is based. But what those lu more
