Sneak Preview: 2012 BMW 135i M Coupe
$\"2012$
Affordable and energetic rear-wheel drive has not been this much fun in a long time.
They were tempted to badge it M1. But the original M1, codeveloped with Lamborghini, was a much more special machine, a successful brand-shaper, exquisite and expensive enough to qualify as a true supercar. The 2012 BMW 135i M coupe is, on the other hand, a straightforward 1-series derivative -- more straightforward, in fact, than M3, M5, and M6, all of which boast a bespoke engine.

2010 Nissan GT-R - Four Seasons Wrap-Up
$\"2010$
Living with a superachiever proves not to be so easy.
The Nissan GT-R is not warm and cuddly. Perhaps that\'s to be expected of a car that is widely known as Godzilla. The GT-R\'s fearsome legend grew during the years it was sequestered in far-off Japan, but its awesome prowess came to be known worldwide thanks to its long-running feature role in the Gran Turismo video game series. Finally, the GT-R\'s international stardom proved so great that Nissan developed the sixth-generation model for a worldwide market, including North America.

2010 Porsche 911 Turbo
$\"2010$
At its core, this car is all about the acceleration.
This black-on-black 911 Turbo looks menacing at first glance, but it\'s anything but scary once you sit behind the wheel. In fact, this would be an extremely easy car to live with every day. The 911 Turbo has awesome capabilities-500 hp, 480 lb-ft of torque, 0 to 60 in less than 4 seconds -- but there are few apparent compromises to everyday driving comfort. The suspension is more supple than stiff, the seats are supportive but not unforgiving, and the prodigious power and torque are easily tamed when you need to maneuver through urban gridlock. Of course, at $150,000, you expect a lot from a car. The 911 Turbo pretty much delivers everything you ask of it.

Three $40k, street-legal ways to play race driver in the dirt.
Scientists can\'t classify it as an element, but soil is one of the few substances on this planet we simply cannot live without. Foliage and food sources spring from it, our modern world is built atop of it, and arguably, it provides the basis for one of the most entertaining forms of motorsport ever created: rallying.

Lovin the red leather.
So, what makes this G37 an Anniversary Edition? Well, it has a Premium package, a navigation package, a sport package, and four-wheel active steering. It also has a new exterior color that most of us would call gray but Nissan calls Graphite Shadow. Its interior is leather, colored Monaco Red. (We\'ve had lots of cars with red leather interiors lately, and I have to say that they don\'t really float my boat, but this one is well-executed.)

Aftermarket tuners have taken the vehicles to the next level.
High-performance SUVs seem to be the answer to a question no one asked. An ultrafast vehicle with a center of gravity higher than some sports cars\' rooflines and weighs as much as several sports cars combined? Sounds like a recipe for a rollover. Nonetheless, automakers have found the concept rather popular -- and profitable -- and we can\'t deny that these vehicles can be impressive performers.

For G37 fans on a strict budget.
It\'s easy enough to be wooed by the svelte form of the Infiniti G37 coupe, but its $36,915 entry price isn\'t exactly an easy hurdle for all consumers to clear. Perhaps G37 fans on a strict budget may be intrigued by the 2010 Nissan Altima 3.5 SR Coupe. It\'s hard to argue that the two-door Altima isn\'t an attractive car, but does the midsize, front-wheel-drive coupe have enough substance to support its good looks?

Supercoupe Shootout: LFA Meets SLS
The Lexus LFA and the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG are about as different in approach and ability as a muscular sprinter is from a sinewy long-distance runner. It\'s a clash of characters along the lines of a Suzuki Hayabusa sportbike taking on a BMW K1300S, a Moog synthesizer compared with a Steinway piano, or techno music as opposed to Beethoven. This is a little surprising when one compares the almost identical DNA of the two supercoupes. Both cars are front-engined; are powered by high-revving, normally aspirated engines; feature a well-balanced transaxle layout; rely on lightweight body structures; and make do with nonadjustable suspension and steering setups.

Spunky homage to 1930s design has ground to a halt.
After a decade-plus run, production of well over 1-million units, and global distribution, Chrysler\'s spunky homage to 1930s design has ground to a halt. The last Chrysler PT Cruiser has been delivered and no replacement is likely. The chronology that follows celebrates the bright moments of its illustrious life.

It\'s hard to justify the cost of a luxury wagon when an SUV gives you more room, is cheaper, and in some cases, drives better. The Mercedes-Benz E350 4matic wagon is a nice car, but with a $66,775 price tag, it\'s not very logical.

Once the poster child of the traditional-SUV segment, the Ford Explorer is now a front-wheel-drive, four-cylinder, unibody crossover.
Once the poster child of the traditional-SUV segment, the Ford Explorer is now a front-wheel-drive, four-cylinder, unibody crossover -- at least in base trim. It may be a strange and dramatic departure from the Explorer of yesteryear, but Ford execs are confident the new strategy can halt the icon\'s cliff dive from 445,157 sales in 2000 to 31,864 through the first six months of 2010. Fuel economy, they say, is the reason the segment has stalled. That explains the four-cylinder base engine, a 2.0-liter turbocharged unit generating 237 hp and 250 lb-ft of torque. The numbers aren\'t official yet, but a 30 percent increase in fuel economy over last year\'s V-6 is expected, which should yield 18 mpg in the city and 26 mpg on the highway.

Hyundai is continuing its ambitious march forward with the bigger, pricier, and more luxurious 2011 Hyundai Equus, set to arrive in August.
The 2008 introduction of the Genesis sedan has been the exclamation point to Hyundai\'s rapid ascension from bargain brand to mainstream automaker. The premium, rear-wheel-drive entry showed the Koreans had the confidence and desire to take on more prestigious and more established brands by going head-to-head with the likes of the Lexus GS460 and the Mercedes-Benz E550. Hyundai isn\'t slowing down, though. The company is continuing its ambitious march forward with the bigger, pricier, and more luxurious 2011 Hyundai Equus, set to arrive in August.

Hardly an innovator in terms of design.
Over the past five years, just about every German automaker has rushed to combine the body styles coupe and sedan, with varying levels of success. Not Audi. The automaker from Ingolstadt has more or less sat coolly on the sidelines as its rivals launched all manner of so-called four-door coupes, sport-activity vehicles, and four-door-coupe-hatchback supercars. Now, at last, we\'re seeing Audi\'s contribution to this fledgling segment in the form of the production A7.
