		<description><![CDATA[Lexus’ largest sedan lineup is now complete with the release of a conventional all-wheel drive model.  And the LS460 AWD is the most compelling version of to date.

This was highlighted by a recent cross-Kansas drive that returned 24-25mpg, despite frequent deployment of the 4.6-liter’s 357hp in the act of chasing down, swallowing up, and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
THE DRIVER: As styling is a subjective issue, I will choose to overlook the Accord sedan’s controversial skin and concentrate on what makes this sedan the perennial bestseller it is.  First is the utter competence of its engineering.  It does everything well: there are no glaring omissions or shortcomings anywhere in its makeup. [...]]]></description>

		<guid isPermaLink="false">http://nicedrivz.com/wordpress/?p=346</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[THE DRIVER: Despite arriving late, the Tiguan comes ready to party.  Its 2-liter turbo cranks out the turbo’d torque to hustle, ably abetted by a quick shifting six-speed automatic.  This combination also returns quite respectable fuel economy; 22-23mpgs in mixed use, which excellent in light of the Tiguan’s swiftness.

Its composure is strictly Teutonic; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[THE DRIVER: I’m a bit conflicted over how much I like the Z4 coupe.  That’s not because it’s not a good car—undeniably it is—but because I simply love convertibles.  Yet the tin-top version of Adrian Van Hooydunk’s creation is just so darn scrumptious that I’d be hard pressed to pop for the ragtop [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[THE DRIVER: “I have the power!” I must admit: I feel like He-Man; Volvo must have listened to me about the S80’s biggest shortcomings.  To wit: the wrong choice of powertrains and a seemingly half-hearted approach to design follow-through on this otherwise excellent flagship sedan.
In all seriousness, it’s exciting that they certified the new [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[THE DRIVER: A dearth of low-end torque and real power bode ill for the most basic Porsche hardtop here in the Mile High City.  It never feels as quick as its $52k sticker.  Compensation arrives in the form of a spine tingling induction howl at high revs, and some of the most pure [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[THE DRIVER: The TSX continues its iconoclastic reliance on four-cylinder motivation in this, its second generation.  Minor tweaks to the 2.4-liter result in more usable midrange torque (now 170lbs-ft) and four fewer ponies, for a total of 201.  The lofty 7100rpm redline suggest that the right mate for this motor is the lovely [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[THE DRIVER: The 5-cylinder 2.5 now puts out 170hp, which makes for decent acceleration, even when hooked to the nice six-speed automatic.  The ride is generally plush, even on the SEL’s 17” wheels, but can be caught out by transverse ridges; steering feel and precision is excellent.  The SportWagen is very quiet and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[THE DRIVER: Basing this new, larger Sequoia on the Tundra turns out to be a surprising good move: all three rows have enough room, the 5.7-liter monster motor has enough torque to shift this fullsize rig with commendable alacrity (and because it’s hooked to the wonderful 6-sp auto) still return better mileage than its smaller, [...]]]></description>
