  A common reaction to hearing that Suzuki has produced a new car model is to roll your eyes and dismiss the car immediately.  But don't be so hasty with the Kizashi.  While certainly not perfect, the Kizashi goes a long way towards making Suzuki a viable competitor in the auto market, instead of a its current reputation as a good motorcycle manufacturer, and not much else.

  The 2010 Veritas RS III Roadster doesn't look like anything else on the road, and fans of slick roadsters couldn't be happier about that fact.  The Veritas brand is an old German marquee that has been resurrected in the past few years and the RS III Roadster marks the new company's first foray into a production vehicle.

• Suzusho Supasse-V: Road-Ready Racer

  
  

  10.26.09 | No Comments | Supercars

  Suzusho is primarily known in the auto world as a manufacturer of replica kit cars, so how does an original model stack up?  Well, it's a bit of a mixed bag.  There's definitely a lot to like about the Supasse-V, but when compared against the other sorts of lightweight racing-inspired cars, it falls a bit short in terms of both style and substance.

• 2011 Lexus LFA: A Supercar? Really?

  
  

  10.24.09 | No Comments | Lexus, Supercars

  For many people, the Lexus brand doesn't conjure up images of supercars with ridiculous power, but that's not stopping them.  Indeed, Lexus models seem to many to simply be luxury reskins of Toyota models, so how will a supercar that costs $375,000 fit into that market identity?  Well, you're about to find out.

  When the announcement came down that Bentley was dropping their flagship Arnage sedan, the future of the segment was uncertain, but a new model has been unveiled to replace it.  That replacement, the 2011 Mulsanne, adopts the name of a luxury sedan from the company which was produced between 1980 and 1992, but the 2011 model is all new.

• 2011 Ford F-Series Super Duty: Bigger And Badder

  
  

  10.20.09 | No Comments | Ford

  The 2011 lineup of Ford's Super Duty F-Series trucks may not look all that different from the models on the road today, but a lot has changed under the hood.  In fact, in a vehicle segment dominated by talk of horsepower, torque, and towing capacity, the new F-Series Super Duty trucks may just change the game, and make such terms as "inclinometer," "Single-Sequential Turbocharger" (SST), and "compacted graphite iron" (CGI) the new language of heavy duty pickups.

• 2010 Mazda MX-5 Miata: More Than Meets The Eye

  
  

  10.16.09 | No Comments | Mazda

  The Mazda MX-5 has been considered one of the best all-around sports cars in the world for years, though it certainly doesn't seem like it.  In fact, to the uninitiated, it seems like some inexpensive sports car knockoff.  And yet, motoring magazines the world over consistently rate it as one of the best in the market, beating out much flashier and more powerful models every year.  Why?  Because other sports cars focus on adding horsepower, or a bigger engine, or sportier suspension.  The Mazda MX-5 has only one benchmark in mind:  the driver's enjoyment.

  10.15.09 | No Comments | Lexus

  Lexus' flagship LX series SUV first debuted back in 1996 and is now on its third generation.  And each of those generations has been better than the last.  The newest edition, the LX570, doesn't get as much press as a lot of other Lexus vehicles, namely their best-selling RX series SUVs, but there's no doubt as to why the LX570 is considered the brand's flagship.  It's just that good.
