Which Hybrid Car is Right for You?
What should you consider when choosing a hybrid car? Here are four things to keep in mind.
2007 Saturn Sky Test Drive
The 2007 Saturn Sky can be found in the friendly, no-haggle showroom of your local Saturn dealer. Signaling a whole new direction for the kinder, gentler division of General Motors, the 2007 Saturn Sky emerges from the heavens with a base price of $23,115. The top is fussy but it's worth the hassle. 2007 Saturn Sky: Tested, analyzed and reviewed by Jason Fogelson, one of the experts at About Cars.
2007 Nissan Quest New Model Overview
All-new for 2007, the Quest leads the charge to knock off the Honda Odyssey as king of the hill. A new, less-radical interior is far more inviting than the previous model.
Mercedes-Benz Cars: What's New for 2007?
What's new in the Mercedes-Benz lineup for 2007
2007 Mazdaspeed 3 Test Drive
The 2007 Mazdaspeed3 delivers the most fun available in a front-wheel drive vehicle since the original VW GTI. The 2007 Mazdaspeed3 is a hatchback (5-door) with performance refinements that raise it way above the car that it is based on, in this case the Mazda3. The Mazdaspeed3 carries Mazda's standard 3 year/36,000 mile warranty, and base prices will start at just $22,240. EPA estimates 20/28.Tested, analyzed and reviewed by Jason Fogelson, one of the experts at About.com Cars.

How hybrid cars work. This article also includes a description of the difference between mild and full hybirds.
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.
2007 Volkswagen Passat Wagon 3.6 4Motion Test Drive
With a base price of $33,100 ($38,280 as tested), the 2007 Volkswagen Passat Wagon 3.6 4Motion is elegant and attractive, offering excellent performance and near-luxury features. How does the 2007 VW Passat Wagon 3.6L 4Motion stack up against the other wagons in the field? The Volkswagen Passat Wagon 3.6 4motion: Tested, analyzed and reviewed by Jason Fogelson, one of the experts at About Cars. 2007 VW Passat Wagon 3.6 04JF
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. E350 and E550 sedans tested by Aaron Gold.
2006 Porsche Boxster Tiptronic Test Drive
The Porsche Boxster has been subtly restyled but still maintains its superb driving characteristics, even with an automatic transmission. But with the top down it's a very different car than with the top up, as indicated in this About Cars test drive by Philip Powell.
2007 Lexus LS 460 Preview
The all-new 2007 Lexus LS 460 is the most expensive Lexus ever built. The 2007 Lexus LS460 will be taking on the best luxury sedans from BMW, Cadillac and Mercedes. Does the 2007 Lexus LS460 promising newcomer have what it takes? Lexus LS 460: Tested and reviewed by Jeff James, one of the automotive experts at About Cars.
2007 Honda Fit Test Drive
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. The 2007 Toyota Camry: Tested and reviewed by Aaron Gold, one of the expert test drivers at About.com Cars.
2007 Hyundai Accent 3-door Hatchback Test Drive
2007 brings a new 3-door version of the Hyundai Accent (the Hyundai Accent 4-door sedan was introduced for 2006). The Hyundai Accent 3-door brings lots of safety kit, great fuel economy, a long warranty and high fun-to-drive factor to the table -- and all at a low price. The 2007 Hyundai Accent 3-door hatch: Tested and reviewed by Colin Hefferon, one of the expert road testers at About.com Cars.

A small car that thinks big -- by BJ Killeen
2007 Toyota Yaris Test Drive
The 2007 Toyota Yaris is about honesty. You know how much car you really want, but how much do you really need? The 2007 Toyota Yaris may look small, but there's a good chance that you'll find everything you need inside. The 2007 Toyota Yaris: Test driven and reviewed by Colin Hefferon, one of the expert test drivers at About.com Cars. -- 2007 Toyota Yaris --
