Lotus Elise SC Performance Braking performance is similarly excellent. The Elise SC can stop from 60 to zero in 110 feet. The ground-sticking suspension, combined with Yokohama Advan AD07 summer performance tires, helps the Lotus Elise SC get through the slalom at a blistering 72.4 mph, only 0.2 mph slower than a Porsche 911.

Toyota Camry Hybrid Performance Outside of the engine room, the hybrid drives like a Camry with a few hundred extra pounds of technology in the trunk. That means a forgiving ride, lifeless steering and secure but decidedly nautical handling. We’re not really complaining — the hybrid is a family sedan, and most buyers are bound to value comfort over dynamic sharpness. Less forgivable was our tester’s disappointing 134-foot braking distance from 60 to zero mph, which is 12 feet longer than the 122-foot stop we recorded in a 2007 Camry LE. We suspect the low-rolling-resistance tires and added weight of the battery pack are collectively to blame.

Nissan Murano SL 2WD Function Interior storage is hit-or-miss. The main center console bin is usefully large and features a compartmentalized tray, but the front doors lack bottle pockets. The glovebox is remarkably deep, but the small front-seat cupholders won’t adjust to accommodate larger mugs or beverage cups. The rear-seat cupholders reside in the pull-down armrest and are size-adjustable, and rear-seat occupants have access to a narrow but deep storage bin behind the front center console; however, the door bins back there are tiny and also lack bottle holders.

Volkswagen Tiguan Function Cargo capacity apparently wasn’t high on the list of priorities with the designers who crafted the Tiguan. With all the seats occupied, 16.6 cubic feet of cargo capacity are on tap. With the 60/40-split second row folded, that figure grows to 56.1 cubes. That’s a lot less — more than 17 cubes less, in fact — than you’ll get in competitors like the Honda CR-V or Toyota RAV4.

Supermini to cost £110k • The price of a supermini in 2058? • Price worked out from 1958 Austin • And £27 for a pint of milk Recession, redundancy, financial collapse… if you think times are tough now, insurance giant Norwich Union has another dose of bad news for us when we reach retirement – the equivalent of a Ford Fiesta will cost £110,000. The company has looked at prices of goods in the 1950s, compared them with current prices and estimated what they could cost in 40 years time. In 1958 an Austin A55 cost £685, a Ford Fiesta costs from £8695 today, so if the same percentage increase was applied now, in 40 years time an equivalent car would cost £110,369. The average house would cost a cool £12.2 million, while essentials such as a loaf of bread would cost £27 and a pint of milk would set you back just over a fiver.

Toyota RAV4 Performance And yet against EPA ratings of 19 mpg city/26 mpg highway and 21 mpg combined, we pretty much nailed the now-more-accurate EPA’s numbers. This athlete of compact utes averaged 20.6 mpg. And that’s under our team of leadfoots and with the fuel-sucking climate of traffic-riddled Los Angeles. Our consumer feedback shows folks averaging even better fuel economy, with many claiming averages in the mid-20s.

2008 Aston Martin Comfort With low-profile tires, the DBS exhibits a fair share of road noise over imperfect pavement, requiring frequent workouts of the premium stereo system. As such, it certainly couldn’t be described as comparable to a luxury-oriented GT coupe, so if that’s what you’re looking for, may we kindly suggest a Bentley for your British motoring pleasure.

Pontiac Vibe GT

The GT model, which had been M.I.A. since 2007, makes a welcome return. This is good news for drivers hungering for a sportier alternative to the only other offering in the Vibe lineup — the base model. We celebrated the GT’s comeback by putting it through the paces in a road test.

Ford Edge Limited
Names are important in the car business, and the moniker for the 2009 Ford Edge is particularly evocative. Ford was probably thinking Edge as in "cutting," but we find ourselves head-banging to Aerosmith as we grab the keys. "Livin’ on the Edge!" we scream in unison, air guitars blaring. And once we’re curbside, Ford’s top-selling crossover SUV doesn’t disappoint, flaunting optional chrome dubs and the shiniest grille this side of your favorite rapper.

BRIAN J STRASNICK: Honda CR-V EX-L

In typical Honda fashion, road noise in the CR-V is pronounced; wind noise is less so, but still noticeable at higher speeds. On the highway, we really had to crank the volume up to enjoy the seven-speaker audio system that came with our test vehicle’s navigation system.
