2007 Cadillac Escalade AWD
The 2007 Cadillac Escalade is a big, powerful SUV, swaggering down the road oblivious to the target on its back. Base price for an all-wheel drive 2007 Cadillac Escalade is $57,280 for with 4 year/50,000 mile warranty. Expect 13 mpg city/19 mpg highway, according to EPA estimates.

2007 Honda Pilot
The 2007 Honda Pilot shares its engine and drivetrain with the pricier and much more glitzy Acura MDX. Like the MDX, the 2007 Honda Pilot features three rows of seating. The no-nonsense Pilot is my choice for best bang for the buck in a mid-size SUV. MSRP: $27K - $31K; Warranty: 3 years/36,000 miles; EPA: 18/24 (2WD), 17/22 (4WD). Tested, analyzed and reviewed by Colin Hefferon, one of the Sport Utility Vehicle experts at About SUVs.

2007 Hyundai Santa Fe SUV Test Drive & Review
All new for 2007, the Santa Fe is exceptionally well thought out with brilliant attention to detail.

Driven, tested and reviewed by Aaron Gold, one of the Sport Utility Vehicle experts at About SUVs.

2007 Mercedes-Benz GL450
The 2007 Mercedes-Benz GL450 is the company's first full-sized SUV. And like all good Mercedes this Sport Utility Vehicle comes with all the luxury appointments. Even though the 2007 Mercedes-Benz GL450 can tow a cabin cruiser run through streams and carry a group of seven in style this SUV does not look or feel big. The starting price on the Mercedes-Benz GL450 is $54,900.Tested analyzed and reviewed by Holly Reich one of the Sport Utility Vehicle experts at About SUVs.

2007 Toyota Camry XLE V6 Test Drive
A 600-mile test drive convinced About Car's test driver Philip Powell that the new 2007 Toyota Camry mid-size sedan, in XLE V6 dress, is spacious, comfortable, and with the V-6 and 6-speed auto option, a spirited drive. A pair of lady observers from widely different age groups plus a co-driver of doubtful wheel skills added to the praise. 2007 Toyota Camry: Tested by Philip Powell, one of the expert new car reviewers at About.com Cars.

2007 Mercedes-Benz E350 and E550 Test Drive
The Mercedes-Benz E-Class (E350 and E550, formerly E500) has always been a bastion of luxury, safety and image, but base models didn't give you much compared to Lexus, Infiniti, etc. That has changed for 2007. The 2007 E-Class has been substantially upgraded: new V8 engine for the E550, choice of same-price Luxury or Sport versions on both E350 and E550, and many other details that make it a much better value for your luxury-car dollar.

The sub-compact wars heat up! Can the Honda Fit, a sub $14k car, be all that? Is it any good? Really? An About Cars test drive by Colin Hefferon.

2007 Toyota Camry LE Test Drive
The 2007 Toyota Camry in 4-cylinder automatic LE form is the version most 2007 Toyota Camry buyers will choose. It has adequate power, all the must-have power goodies and pleasant surprises like a power driver's seat -- all in all a good deal. But my review found a few obvious signs of cost-cutting that impair the 2007 Toyota Camry's functionality. Bummer.

2007 Mazdaspeed 3 Test Drive
The 2007 Mazdaspeed3 delivers the most fun available in a front-wheel drive vehicle since the original VW GTI.

2007 Lexus ES350 Test Drive
Calling the 2007 Lexus ES350 the entry-level Lexus isn't quite right. The 2007 Lexus has all the creature comforts that make a Lexus a Lexus; bundling it with humble front-wheel-drive hardware lowers the price and makes the 2007 Lexus ES350 an outstanding luxury bargain. 2007 Lexues ES350: Test drive and new car review by Aaron Gold, Guide to Cars at About.com.

Test drive: 2006 Volkswagen Passat 2.0T
Volkswagen's new Passat is larger in all dimensions but it's also notably quick with the 4-cylinder 2-liter Turbo.

2006 Infiniti M35 Sport Sedan

Tested, analyzed and reviewed by Jason Fogelson, one of the experts at About Cars.

Test drive: 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS
Redesigned for 2006, the Mitsubishi Eclipse brings back the sharp styling that was missing from the 3rd-generation (2000-2005) Eclipse. Unfortunately, there's still no turbo and still no all-wheel-drive. Bummer. The good news: The base-model 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS acquits itself quite well; it's strong on safety, strong on standard equipment, and a decent (if dull) road car.
