Autoblog took a 2012 Boss 302 around the block a few times, and took the time to try out the TracKey.

Autoblog, lucky bunch that they are, reviewed the 2011 Porsche Cayenne S and had this to say: With the Cayenne I sampled only the V8, but drove a Touareg with the V6 in 280-horsepoweer tune immediately beforehand.

2012 Hyundai Genesis Review – TTAC

TTAC reviews the 2012 Hyundai Genesis 5.0 R-Spec, the baddest Genesis of them all, and has this to say: Oversteer can’t be dialed in nearly as progressively or intuitively as in a BMW or GM vehicle with right-wheel-drive.

2011 Ford Explorer Review – Autoblog

Autoblog put a 2011 Explorer Ecoboost through the ringer, and had this to say: While we can absolutely see a good reason for buyers to pony up a little extra coin for the EcoBoost 2.0-liter in the Edge, the engine makes more sense to us as a no-cost option in the Explorer. Ford has already [...]

2011 Dodge Caliber Review – Autoblog

Autoblog reviews the 2011 Dodge Caliber and has this gem at the end: If you’re still with us, you may have noticed that with the exception of its drivetrain, the Caliber is a fairly competitive vehicle.
