Why not! It's more upscale than a Subaru Legacy, offers AWD on every single model and comes with plenty of high-end, premium features to keep the luxury enthusiast happy.

Built in Turkey, this Ford Focus-based van is intended to economically meet light-duty commercial needs globally. A 4-cylinder gas engine connected to the front wheels through 4-speed automatic transmission propels this unique offering from the Blue Oval.

Though most rest assured that reliability has advanced with technology, the above remains a common statement from off-road fanatics learning about the latest driver-assist electronics.

This little gem would probably rub shoulders with a Series 5 or 7 sedan and, in parts of Canada where the winters really have bite, an X3 as well! Luc Gagné Fri, 20 Nov 2009 01:00:00 -0400 http://www.auto123.com/en/porsche/cayenne/2009/review?carid=1095200706&artid=112540 When she made her famous spaghetti sauce, my mother always told me it was very important not to forget the one ingredient that makes the difference between a good sauce and a bad one. That ingredient, she said, is cayenne pepper, and it does indeed make all the difference. Bertrand Godin Thu, 19 Nov 2009 01:00:00 -0400 http://www.auto123.com/en/audi/r8/2010/review?carid=1100602702&artid=111880 Apparently, Audi thought the standard R8's 4.2 liter engine was a good start. This 420 horsepower V8 is a screamer, and it gets the aluminum coupe rolling in a very serious hurry. It's more than powerful enough for anyone who values their driver's license-- but apparently, some nut-jobs wanted even more sauce. Justin Pritchard Thu, 19 Nov 2009 01:00:00 -0400 http://www.auto123.com/en/honda/civic-sedan/2009/review?carid=1092300200&artid=112745 First off, let me say that Honda's highly efficient, entry-level hybrid sedan is more refined operationally than I expected. It's also remarkably roomy, not to mention miserly when it comes to fuel consumption. Rob Rothwell Wed, 18 Nov 2009 01:00:00 -0400 http://www.auto123.com/en/acura/csx/2009/review?carid=1090100105&artid=112607 There's the Honda Civic, and for those who want to enjoy the essence and values of the popular Japanese compact in a more luxurious package, there's the Acura CSX.

But Nissan has come up with an interesting alternative: a low-priced version of its Versa subcompact. Think of it as a new car with a warranty at a pre-owned car price. Michel Deslauriers Tue, 17 Nov 2009 01:00:00 -0400 http://www.auto123.com/en/volkswagen/jetta/2009/review?carid=1096300700&artid=111219 Put simply, the Volkswagen GLI injects the popular Jetta with a healthy dose of performance. It zeroes in on the enthusiast buyer with a turbocharged engine, tweaked suspension, xenon lighting and numerous visual goodies that combine in an aptly-nicknamed 'GTI Sedan'. Justin Pritchard Tue, 17 Nov 2009 01:00:00 -0400 http://www.auto123.com/en/nissan/rogue/2010/review?carid=1104607604&artid=113134 I've written often about this subject in the past and recent sales results have typically justified my thoughts. This is a product-driven market. This means that not only must carmakers offer a vehicle in just about every segment, it must be interesting, it has to have that "je-ne-sais-quoi" to capture consumers and their typically short attention spans. Mathieu St-Pierre Mon, 16 Nov 2009 01:00:00 -0400 http://www.auto123.com/en/mazda/6/2008/review?carid=1083900400&artid=113053 Back in 2004 and shortly after the Mazda 6 hit the market, it seemed like buying one was a pretty foolproof choice. In addition to capitalizing on a great new styling language, the sporty sedan and wagon from the alternative Japanese manufacturer began winning awards from international press and industry authorities in a big way. The 6 had arrived--and it was a sporty, nicely styled and fun-to-drive machine that made the Accord and Camry look downright boring. Justin Pritchard Sun, 15 Nov 2009 01:00:00 -0400 http://www.auto123.com/en/infiniti/g-convertible/2009/review?carid=1092600410&artid=112973 You know the Infiniti G35 coupe. It's that sleek two-door with the classy fascia, flat rear end, wide taillamps and the stance of a Nissan 350Z. It makes that distinctive, semi-exotic exhaust howl you probably like, too. Justin Pritchard Sun, 15 Nov 2009 01:00:00 -0400 http://www.auto123.com/en/mercedes/sls-amg/2010/review?carid=1104006000&artid=113183 California, USA -- Sometimes in life you get a revelation or a vision so incredible that it seems to be a direct message from God himself. When the angel-like figure came toward me, eyes glowing, and spread its wings to cover the sky, I knew this was one of those moments. Bertrand Godin Thu, 12 Nov 2009 01:00:00 -0400 http://www.auto123.com/en/bmw/5-series-gt/2010/review?carid=1100800301&artid=113181 Woodcliff Lake, New Jersey -- We just spent a day touring around New York State in BMW's brand spanking new 5 Series Gran Turismo. Normally, we'd get right to the "what's it like?" But this time it feels like we need to start with the "what is it?" Because not only is it another genre buster, it seems also to straddle territory already occupied by other BMW products. Mike Goetz Thu, 12 Nov 2009 01:00:00 -0400 http://www.auto123.com/en/suzuki/kizashi/2010/review?carid=1106002600&artid=113178 Suzuki Canada's president, Seiichi Maruyama, was explaining the name of his company's latest model to me. It's Japanese for the phrase "Something great is coming". Justin Pritchard Thu, 12 Nov 2009 01:00:00 -0400 http://www.auto123.com/en/bmw/x6/2010/review?carid=1100803603&artid=113166 Bal Harbour, Florida. A lot of rich and famous people own a pied-à-terre in Florida --that's a fact. Forbes magazine actually counted over 20 Floridians among the richest men and women in the world. Therefore, it's no surprise that BMW chose an upscale suburb of the Miami area to introduce international auto journalists to the all-new 2010 BMW X6 ActiveHybrid, a.k.a. the most powerful production hybrid SUV in the world. Luc Gagné Wed, 11 Nov 2009 01:00:00 -0400 http://www.auto123.com/en/mercedes/gl-class/2009/review?carid=1094005701&artid=111843 The Mercedes-Benz GL320 BlueTec is nothing less than a missionary. Its mission? Convert those who still doubt the quality of the diesel engine and its eco-friendly properties. To do so, it has enlisted a cutting edge technology dubbed BlueTec that limits both fuel consumption and harmful emissions. Marc Bouchard Wed, 11 Nov 2009 01:00:00 -0400 http://www.auto123.com/en/porsche/boxster/2009/review?carid=1095200502&artid=113120 Fall is in the air. The leaves are on the ground. The trees are naked. We're busy bundling up, trying to protect our skin from the harsh winds and cringing at the thought of what's next on the calendar; WINTER! What am I doing, you may ask? Easy: Having a blast freezing my butt off with the top down in my Speed Yellow Boxster S at 120 km/h charging down the highway. Mathieu St-Pierre Tue, 10 Nov 2009 01:00:00 -0400 http://www.auto123.com/en/bmw/z4/2009/review?carid=1090801604&artid=110175 The votes are in, the scores are tabulated and the jury's deliberated: the new BMW Z4 is a sexy beast. It's more serious and far more elegant than the last Z4, and this third-generation roadster-rocket makes those nearby stare and gush comments. Many of these include words like 'gorgeous', 'drop-dead sexy', or 'wow'. Justin Pritchard Tue, 10 Nov 2009 01:00:00 -0400
