2010 Subaru Outback 2.5i Limited Review

Stay connected Subscribe to our RSS feed
Subaru's Outback line firmly established its reputation a while ago. Now dissociated from the Legacy models, the successful Outback has garnered quite a following in the country. In fact, the Outback is so popular that the head honchos over at Subaru decided to drop the simple wagon version of the Legacy, so limited were its sales over the past few years. To say that the Outback fills the needs of many Canadian consumers is an understatement. Full story...

2010 Toyota Camry Hybrid - Toyota Hybrid Sedan Review - Automobile Magazine
The Camry Hybrid is the most unobtrusive of hybrid vehicles.

Disguised as a run-of-the-mill combustion-engined Camry, the only outward indication that there is a hybrid powertrain lurking under the skin is a small Hybrid Synergy Drive badge.inline_mediumwraptextright28167016/green/reviews/1002_2010_toyota_camry_hybrid1002_05_z+2010_toyota_camry_hybrid+front_three_quarter_view.jpgTrue

2010 Hyundai Tucson - Hyundai Crossover SUV Review - Automobile Magazine
The laggard gets a boost.

The wretched economy of the past year has been a boon to Hyundai, which enjoyed its biggest-ever market share in 2009. Hyundai's Tucson, though, has been a laggard: fewer than one-tenth as many have been sold as the segment-leading Honda CR-V. The redesigned, 2010 Tucson should fare better. First of all, it has shed the stubby look of its predecessor. The new car is lower, wider, and longer but is about fifty pounds lighter.inline_mediumwraptextright32138784/reviews/driven/1003_2010_hyundai_tucson1003_01_z+2010_hyundai_tucson+front_three_quarter_view.jpgTrue
