Increasingly, manufacturers are equipping their droptops with folding metal contraptions, despite their complexity and cost. The latest example: the 2009 BMW Z4, the first roadster from the Bavarian manufacturer with a hideaway hard top. It succeeds the Z4 Roadster and Coupe. Others that have recently installed hard tops include Volkswagen's Eos, Infiniti's G37, Chrysler's... Full article...

They don't slowly grow from one form to another, undergoing painful transformations and Peter Brady voice changes. They follow a more Darwinian path, evolve or die. As Cadillac continues with its evolution, it has adopted a more family look throughout its lineup. Now, it can welcome the 2010 Cadillac SRX into the fold. The five-passenger luxury crossover sheds its squared-off corners for a curvier body, creates a more luxurious interior and beefs up its... Full article...

I hope it applies for citizenship. A powerful turbocharged all-wheel drive little coupe is the kind of citizen we need to encourage to immigrate here. The redesigned TT is already a looker, refined with a modern and graceful appearance, its curvy fenders matching the gentle slope of the roof. The TTS adds some pieces that help differentiate itself from the regular TT, but nothing... Full article...

My advice: Look straight ahead. Going that fast means you can see the forest, but not any of the trees, as they past in a flurry of sound and color. Now, I wasn't driving on just any Michigan road. I was testing the 2010 Lincoln MKT's new powertrain at Ford's Michigan Proving Grounds in Romeo. Part of the facility includes a super smooth, 5-mile oval track with... Full article...
