Reviews

  • Jaguar XJ (2010)

    Jaguar's XJ is no longer a shrinking violet dressed in mummy's '60s duds. The tech quotient is high and the styling turned up to 11. We showed up at its San Fran launch party, and got up close and personal with the sexy feline.

  • Lexus IS250 Sports Luxury (2009)

    What the IS250 lacks in badge snobbery, it makes up for in good looks, rock-solid quality, neat handling and serenity enough to becalm a frazzled monk. While stuffed with tech, it isn't quite as up-to-date as we'd have liked.

  • Tesla Roadster

    It might be pricey and limited to the US and Europe, but the Roadster is an exciting glimpse into our, potentially, electric car future. Battery technology sure has come a long way since GM's ill-fated EV1.

  • Mazda MX-5 Roadster Coupe (2009)

    Mazda has given its evergreen roadster a touch up, with a more aggro face, plusher armrests and, finally, MP3 player connectivity; the trick folding hard-top remains.

  • Need for Speed Undercover

    Need for Speed returns to its roots with hokey cutscenes, wild cop chases and solid racing action.

  • Navigon 2150max

    This is a great GPS if you have a piano black fetish. For the rest of us, it's just OK. Its good points (Aussie-capable text-to-speech, junction view, extended lane info) are balanced out by an inconsistent interface and unfriendly windshield mount.

  • BMW M6 coupe (2005 E63)

    If a regular 6-Series isn't fast nor showy enough for you, there's always the M6, which is powered by the V10 engine found in the M5. Yes, the same V10 engine with a 8,250rpm red line.

  • BMW 335i coupe (2006 E92)

    Almost as fast as the previous generation M3, the 335i coupe comes with BMW's acclaimed 3-litre twin-turbo six.
