PIMP CHEVROLET COBALT 2010
The Cobalt is pleasant, if not powerful, on the highway. However, reviewers accentuate the positive -- calling attention to the car's great fuel economy or solid ride quality.
The 2010 Chevy Cobalt doesn't have overwhelming engine power from its base 2.2-liter engine, plus neither the five-speed manual transmission nor the four-speed electronically controlled automatic transmission has the gumption to leave its competition in the slow lane. But test drivers are very pleased with the car's fuel economy. According to the EPA, the base engine rates at 22/30 mpg with the manual transmission, and 24/33 mpg with the automatic.

PIMP CHEVROLET CAMARO 2010
new Camaro's strong powertrain and sporty handling dynamics -- which give V6 competitors like the G8, Mustang and Challenger a run for their money.
The Camaro LS, 1LT, and 2LT feature a 3.6-liter V6 engine that produces 304 horsepower at 6,400 rpm and 273 pound-feet of torque at 5,200 rpm. Critics commend Chevy for engineering the Camaro to be more powerful than its V6 competitors, but find its low-end torque lacking.
Car shoppers should note that unlike its rivals, the Camaro is only available with two engine options, the 304-horsepower V6 and the high-performance SS trim's 426-horsepower V8. Meanwhile, competitors like the G8, Mustang and Challenger offer intermediate trims that provide V8 power, but don't directly compete with the SS. For that purpose, each muscle car offers its own high-performance model.
The V6 Camaro is mated to a standard six-speed manual transmission. However, a six-speed automatic transmission with tapshift control is available. According to the EPA, the manual Camaro nets a city/highway fuel economy of 17/29 mpg. The automatic nets 18/29 mpg. Altogether, the V6 Camaro's fuel economy is competitive for this class.

PIMP CHEVROLET AVEO 2010
the 2010 Chevy Aveo's driving excitement to the thrill of watching grass grow. But on the plus side, both the sedan and hatchback get great gas mileage, and handling is pleasing for a city commute.
With a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine that ekes out 103-horsepower and 107 pound-feet of torque, the 2010 Chevy Aveo has no brawn to speak of. Not only that, but acceleration is slow with the five-speed manual transmission or the four-speed automatic. Still, most reviewers say that the car does well with the power it has. The Aveo still has a marginal advantage over much of its class when it comes to fuel economy. According to the EPA, both the Aveo and the Aveo5 should achieve 27/34 mpg city/highway with a manual transmission, and 25/34 mpg city/highway with the automatic.

PIMP CHEVROLET AVALANCE 2010
The Avalanche's performance is good for a truck, but car-buyers trading up for the first time might be disappointed. A stiffer frame and new suspension and steering systems, acquired during a 2007 redesign, help somewhat but reviewers still complain about an anemic engine and lackluster handling. Towing and hauling capabilities are high points, however.
The Avalanche comes one engine, a 5.3-liter V8 with Active Fuel Management. Most reviewers say the engine is fine for in-town driving, but its performance on the highway leaves feels slow. The Avalanche's engine features cylinder deactivation technology for increased fuel economy. It automatically shuts down four cylinders when they are not needed, like when the vehicle is cruising at speed or coasting. All engines are paired with a Hydra-Matic six-speed electronically controlled automatic transmission with overdrive that reviewers like.

PIMP CADILLAC STS 2012
The basic STS comes with a 3.6-liter V6 engine that makes 302 horsepower and uses variable valve timing to maximize thrust. Reviewers say the V6 is powerful enough for any driver. A 4.6-liter Northstar V8 that makes 320 horsepower is also available, and reviewers like it as well, but many say it isn't necessary or worth its cost. Only a six-speed automatic transmission, which can be shifted manually, is offered.
The STS handles fairly well, with a suspension system reviewers love and assisted steering some find overly light. Its brakes are a highlight.

PIMP CADILLAC SRX 2012
The 2010 Cadillac SRX offers two engines -- a base 3.0-liter V6 that makes 265 horsepower and an optional 2.8-liter turbocharged V6 that makes 300 horsepower. Since both are now direct-injection engines, fuel economy and power have increased from the 2009 model. Both engines are paired with a six-speed automatic transmission.
Some reviewers say the base engine can be sluggish because of its low torque output. They recommend the turbocharged V6. However, that engine is available for AWD Performance and Premium trims only -- which means it adds a whopping $15,000 to the SRX’s base price. Make sure you really need that extra power before spending the money.
According to the EPA, the front-wheel-drive base model achieves 18/25 mpg city/highway, while the all-wheel-drive model achieves 17/23 mpg. The EPA does not have ratings for the turbocharged engine, but Cadillac estimates it will also be rated at 17/23 mpg. The SRX’s base rating is one of the best in its class. But if you want better fuel economy, consider a midsize SUV like the Lexus RX Hybrid. It has a best-in-class 32/28 mpg rating. However, it costs $9,000 more than the SRX, so even the fuel savings may not save you money in the long run.
the 2010 Cadillac SRX shines for its especially smooth and powerful performance. It boasts a more car-like ride and better fuel economy than before. Test drivers like the fun driving experience, even going so far as to say it's good enough to compete with the Lexus RX 350.

PIMP CADILLAC ESCALADE HYBRID 2012
On the whole, reviewers are pleased with the 2010 Cadillac Escalade Hybrid's performance, noting it closely matches that of the conventional Escalade. That means that the hybrid shares some problems with the regular Escalade. Namely, its larger size requires extra driver attention. Reviewers also notice that the transition from the electric motor to the gas engine isn't quite seamless, and that the Escalade Hybrid's gas mileage, while good for a large SUV, isn't quite in the same league as smaller hybrids.
While the Escalade Hybrid does have improved fuel economy over the conventional Escalade, reviewers report that the SUV still drinks too much gas to satisfy most environmentalists. Some also complain that in order to achieve the best fuel economy, drivers must relegate themselves to the slow lane. The two-wheel drive Escalade hybrid has a 20/21 city/highway fuel economy rating from the EPA, and a 20 mpg combined rating.

PIMP CADILLAC ESCALADE EXT 2012
Even though the 2010 Escalade EXT is a big, heavy vehicle, it has a surprisingly car-like ride that's coupled with impressive thrust from its V8 engine. Still, the steering and braking get mixed reviews
Only a single engine is available for the nearly 6,000-pound Escalade EXT, and it's a big one: a 6.2-liter V8 that can generate 403 horsepower, plenty of low-end torque and a towing capacity of 7,600 pounds. By and large reviewers think this engine is great, but a few say that even this much power can barely keep up with the EXT's bulk. The EXT comes with a Hydra-Matic six-speed automatic transmission with a Driver Shift Control manual mode. Reviewers say the transmission performs smoothly.
For 2010, the Cadillac Escalade EXT's engine has active fuel management technology, which saves fuel by shutting down four of the engine's eight cylinders when they are not needed. The EPA has not released new fuel economy estimates for the EXT.

NEW CADILLAC ESCALADE 2010
The Escalade comes standard with a V8 engine, rear wheel drive and a six-speed automatic transmission that is popular with reviewers. A wide stance and auto-sensing suspension keep the ride smooth, but during test drives, reviewers noticed the Escalade's size means the SUV demands a lot of driver attention, which is typical for a large SUV.
The 2010 Cadillac Escalade comes with a 6.2-liter V8 engine, mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. Most reviewers note that though this is the same engine in the GMC Denali, it has been tuned to make more horsepower in the Escalade. Most reviewers like the extra power and give the Escalade good marks for acceleration.
Cylinder deactivation, a fuel saving technology, is new on the 2010 Escalade. The system shuts down four of the engine's eight cylinders when they're not needed (like when the Escalade is cruising or at idle). That saves fuel. The EPA gives two-wheel drive Escalade a combined fuel economy rating on 16 miles per gallon.

PIMP CADILLAC DTS 2012
The Cadillac DTS is built for highway cruising. Its suspension is tuned for a soft ride, its turning circle is wide, and its big V8 moves the heavy car well enough for highway passing -- but not so quickly that it can compete with the cars at the top of its class. A Performance trim level outhandles the ordinary DTS.
The 2010 DTS is powered by a 4.6-liter Northstar V8 engine making 275 horsepower. Power travels through a four-speed automatic transmission -- a serious flaw, the press says, in a year when even other GM products generally use six-speed models. The result is a car that lacks serious thrust compared to most luxury sedans -- but the DTS never had sporting pretensions. It's strong enough to get to highway speed quickly and pass easily. Performance models get 300 horsepower out of the same engine, but it doesn't change the fuel economy rating. The DTS gets an EPA-estimated fuel economy rating of 15 miles per gallon in the city and 22 on the highway -- the lowest fuel economy in this class.

PIMP CADILLAC CTS SPORT WAGON 2012
The 2010 CTS Sport Wagon offers two engine options. Base and Luxury trims feature a 3.0-liter V6 engine that produces 270-horsepower at 7,000 rpm and 223 pound-feet of torque at 5,700 rpm. Meanwhile, Performance and Premium trims come equipped with a 3.6-liter V6 engine that generates 304-horsepower at 6,400 rpm and 273 pound-feet of torque at 5,200 rpm. A six-speed automatic transmission is standard for all trims.
According to the EPA, the CTS Sport Wagon nets a city/highway fuel economy ranging from 18/26 to 18/27 mpg, depending on engine and drivetrain.

PIMP CADILLAC CTS 2012
The base engine of the 2010 Cadillac CTS is a 3.6-liter V6 that makes 263 horsepower and 253 pound-feet of torque. Reviewers say it offers plenty of punch and highway passing power. The more advanced option is a Direct Injection version of the same engine. This is the first direct-injection engine an American automaker has built. It pumps pressurized gasoline directly into cylinders in a fine mist, resulting in a higher power output than traditional fuel injection without the need for turbochargers -- and, according to GM -- with cleaner emissions. That engine creates 304 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque -- and has allowed some test drivers to manage zero-to-sixty times under 6.5 seconds.
Either engine is available paired with a six-speed manual transmission or a six-speed automatic with manual capability -- although a few reviewers criticize Cadillac for not pairing that transmission with paddle shifters, opting for a slightly awkward console-mounted shifter instead. The Environmental Protection Agency estimates that, in various configurations, the CTS manages 16 to 18 miles per gallon in the city and 25 to 26 mpg on the highway.

PIMP BUICK LUCERNE 2012
The 2010 Lucerne is available with a 3.9-liter V6 engine making 227 horsepower or a Northstar V8 making 275. Both are weak engines for their size -- competitors offer more powerful, more fuel-efficient options in both V6 and V8 powerplants. Both are available only with an antiquated four-speed automatic transmission, while most competitors offer five- or six-speeds even in base models. Reviewers say the V8 is enough power for the car's weight, but the V6 isn't. The EPA estimates that V6-powered Lucernes should get 17 mpg in the city and 26 mpg on the highway, while V8 models are rated for just 15/22 mpg.
PIMP BUICK LA CROSSE 2012
In the recent past, Buicks were known as slow, sluggish and floaty cars. Their ride was a throwback to an earlier time, and they lagged well behind the performance of most modern sedans. With the 2010 LaCrosse, all that has changed. Test drivers say the 2010 LaCrosse is a capable performer. It offers confident acceleration with either of its two available engines, and while it doesn't handle with the sharpness of a sport sedan, reviewers say it handles as well as any family sedan and should easily meet the needs of most drivers.
The LaCrosse is available with a choice of two V6 engines. A 3.0-liter unit making 255 horsepower drives the CX and CXL model, while a larger 3.6-liter engine putting out 280 horsepower powers the CXS edition. Reviewers like both engines, but the smaller of the two is so capable that there may be little reason to pay for the added power of the larger engine. The only transmission offered is a six-speed automatic. The EPA has given the LaCrosse a 17/25 mpg rating when equipped with the 3.0-liter engine, and 17/27 mpg with the 3.6.

PIMP BUICK ENCLAVE 2012
The Buick Enclave provides smooth, sedan-like performance, and is even fun to drive. Thanks to a horsepower boost in 2009, the Enclave also provides more than adequate acceleration. Still, a few reviewers would like to see a more powerful V8 engine option.
The Enclave comes with a 3.6-liter V6 engine that makes 288 horsepower. It's paired with a six-speed automatic transmission that some test drivers say is slow to downshift. Test drivers find power adequate enough, but some wish a more powerful option was available.
According to the EPA, FWD models achieve 17/24 mpg city/highway, while AWD models achieve 16/22. These ratings are only about average for the affordable midsize SUV class. If you’re looking for better fuel economy, your best bet is the Honda Accord Crosstour. Though its in the affordable wagons class, it matches the Enclave’s luxurious interior while providing a more impressive 18/27 fuel economy rating -- all for a price that’s about $6,000 less.

PIMP BMW Z4 2012
The 2010 BMW Z4 ranks 8 out of 9 Luxury Sports Cars. This ranking is based on our analysis of 28 published reviews and test drives of the BMW Z4, and our analysis of reliability and safety data.
The 2010 BMW Z4 is bigger and badder than ever before. Plus, it now features a standard retractable hard top that lowers in just 20 seconds. One of the best all-around roadsters in this highly-competitive class, the 2010 BMW Z4 was named a finalist in Motor Trend's showdown for "Car of the Year."
Reviewers report that the 2010 BMW Z4 is the total package. It's sexy, luxurious, and sporty enough to wow most drivers. "While some premium roadster drivers are serious about power, handling and feel, a good many are more interested in style and fresh-air fun," writes Kelley Blue Book. "In a segment that includes the Porsche Boxster, Mercedes-Benz SLK and Audi TT, no car can appeal to both camps more so than the latest Z4. Inside, outside and underneath, the Z4 has the makings of one of the all-time great roadsters."
Still, the 2010 BMW Z4 isn't perfect. Critics complain that the Z4 lacks adequate cargo room and its steering system feels numb. As a whole, however, the 2010 BMW Z4 leaves reviewers nothing short of satisfied.
PIMP BMW X6 2012
The NEW BMW X6 base xDrive35i model features a 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged inline six-cylinder engine that makes 300 horsepower. Likewise, the xDrive50i comes with a 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V8. Test drivers offer praise for both engines, noting they provide fantastic acceleration for a midsize SUV. They are both paired with a six-speed automatic transmission which comes with steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters for a sportier experience.
The new ActiveHybrid X6 is one of the most powerful hybrid vehicles on the market. It boasts a 4.4-liter V8 that makes a staggering 400 horsepower. It’s paired wit two electric motors that make 90 and 84 horsepower, respectively. The hybrid is mated to a seven-speed automatic transmission with manual mode. Test drivers have high praise for the hybrid’s powertrain, noting that acceleration is excellent in any situation.
The EPA rates the 2010 xDrive35i at 15/21 mpg city/highway, while the xDrive50i offers a lesser 13/18 mpg rating. Fuel economy isn't a strong point for the X6, although it's about the norm for a luxury midsize SUV -- unless, that is, you shell out big bucks for the ActiveHybrid X6. The EPA has not yet rated it, but BMW estimates it will get 19 miles per gallon in the city. However, the ActiveHybrid also starts at nearly $89,000, so don’t fool yourself by thinking it will save you money on gas.
For higher fuel economy without the painfully high sticker price, consider the Lexus RX 350, which boasts an 18/25 mpg rating and costs a whopping $20,000 less than the base X6. The Infiniti FX's 16/23 mpg rating is also excellent for the class, and it costs several thousand less than the X6.
PIMP BMW X5 2012
The NEW BMW X5 2010 xDrive30i comes with a 3.0-liter in-line six-cylinder engine that makes 260 horsepower, while the xDrive48i comes with a 4.8-liter V8 that makes 350 horsepower. The xDrive35d comes with a 3.0-liter 265-horsepower six-cylinder Advanced Diesel twin-turbocharged engine. All engines are paired with a six-speed automatic transmission with manual mode. Test drivers find that both gasoline engines offer impressive power, though a few aren't as impressed with the diesel's acceleration.
The EPA rates the 2010 X5 30i base model at 15/21 mpg city/highway, while the 48i V8 model achieves 14/19 mpg. These figures are unimpressive and on the average to low side for their class. However, the diesel model substantially increases fuel economy by achieving 19/26 mpg, making it one of the more fuel-efficient SUVs in the class.
For even better fuel economy without shelling out for a diesel model, consider the Lexus RX 350. It will save you a whopping $10,000 or more compared to the cost of the X5 and boasts an 18/25 mpg rating.
