| Top Luxury Cars | 2010 Lotus Evora - Road Test |
| 2010-04-28 14:40:00 |
Rome or Bust: We flog the new Lotus Evora from England to Rome and back.For as long as most folks at Lotus Cars in Hethel, England, can remember, most everyone has eaten lunch in the office, worked eight-and-a-half hours Monday through Thursday, and then taken off the rest of the day at noon on Friday.So a weekend at Lotus works out to two-and-a-half days. In the late ’80s, the company’s CEO, Michael Kimberley, suggested to his engineers a new approach for putting miles on Elan prototypes: Leave Hethel at noon and drive to Rome and back, a 2500-mile jaunt. Just be back in your cubicle on Monday morning with a picture of the car at the Colosseum.Even Lotus’s devoted, monk-like engineers weren’t thrilled with the idea of living in an Elan for two days. The trips were not without setb...

| Top Luxury Cars | 2010 Lexus GS Hybrid |
| 2010-04-28 14:23:00 |
Lexus GS Hybrid - What the Auto Press SaysThe 2010 Lexus GS Hybrid ranks 3 out of 13 Luxury Large Cars. This ranking is based on our analysis of 57 published reviews and test drives of the Lexus GS Hybrid, and our analysis of reliability and safety data.Lexus calls the GS 450h a “no compromises hybrid,” and it’s easy to understand why. It offers the power of a V8 with the fuel-efficiency of a V6, and the kind of opulent cabin that Lexus is known for. It is a tight fit for taller drivers, however, and still trails the best sport sedans in handling.When most car shoppers think of hybrids, they picture oddly-shaped, smaller hatchbacks with lackluster performance but great fuel economy. That’s Toyota’s fault – the Prius set the mold. The luxury division of T...

| Top Luxury Cars | 2010 Acura RL |
| 2010-04-28 14:15:00 |
Acura RL - What the Auto Press SaysThe 2010 Acura RL ranks 3 out of 13 Luxury Large Cars. This ranking is based on our analysis of 8 published reviews and test drives of the Acura RL, and our analysis of reliability and safety data.The 2010 Acura RL doesn't carry the same cachet as some more well-known luxury cars, but it's an excellent choice for many buyers. With outstanding cabin electronics, bulletproof Honda reliability and resale value, and a price that doesn't climb high when you start adding options, it's a great value. But some reviewers say it is underpowered for its price, and short on space for its size.While most large luxury cars offer just slightly different takes on the same high-power formula, the Acura RL is a little different. There is no supercharged V8 offered he...

| 2010-04-28 14:07:00 |
Infiniti M - What the Auto Press SaysThe 2010 Infiniti M ranks 2 out of 13 Luxury Large Cars. This ranking is based on our analysis of 55 published reviews and test drives of the Infiniti M, and our analysis of reliability and safety data.Sold as the V6-powered M35 and the V8-powered M45, Infiniti’s top-of-the-line sedan is a high-performance machine. It doesn’t sell as well as some better-known rivals, but some in the automotive press aren’t sure why. It’s a well-rounded sport sedan, though it may ride too firm for some.Car and Driver sums up the typical opinion of the automotive press perfectly when it says, “Infiniti's M sedans offer excellent value, space, luxury, and performance--it's too bad more folks don't notice."The M35 and M45 sedan are not often ment...

| Top Luxury Cars - Lotus Exige S |
| 2010-02-15 09:47:00 |
When you're buying a Lotus, you don't want to be driving it in the city. Sitting in traffic jams, praying for temporary lights to stay green ("please don't change!"), and avoiding potholes and speed bumps is hardly fun. No, a Lotus is meant for the open road - the wide, open, twisty roads of the British countryside where the only hold up is when you pull over to admire the view.I don't pretend to know much about cars, but I know what I like and I like Lotus cars. They're sexy, fast, fun to drive and you're guaranteed to turn heads when you're driving one, and isn't that what driving is all about? The model I like in particular is the Lotus Exige S. Ok, so it's not the easiest of cars to get into, but once you mastered the art of that it's actually a very comfortable ride. There's not bucke...

| Top Luxury Cars - The New Volvo C30 |
| 2010-02-14 09:58:00 |
This week I officially turned into a grumpy old man. Walking through town on my lunch break I was constantly surrounded by over excitable children, getting more rambunctious by the second thanks to an inordinate amount of e colorings in their bags of sweets. "Why aren't you in school?" I screamed to myself, before the realization that it was summer holiday time again hit me like a punch in the face. Then I remembered that if it was summer holiday time, it meant school reports had just been issued by their teachers who most probably drive used beige Volvos and wear corduroy trousers.Therefore they had good reason to go crazy. If they are anything like I was, the lead up to the end of year school report was so nerve wracking I'd swear every year I'd developed Parkinson's disease overnight. I...
