If you haven’t noticed, Ford’s been on quite the roll lately. After turning down government aid, the Ford Motor Company managed to turn a profit in the last quarter. And it’s not hard to see why. Their all new line up boasts some of the best cars on the market—they’ve got something for everyone. Want a muscle car? They got you with the Mustang; you want a pick up truck worthy enough to participate in the Baja 1000? They got that too with the maddeningly dope F-150 SVT Raptor. Then we learned today that Motor Trend named the Ford Fusion their 2010 Car of the Year for its “impressive bandwidth as a model range.” Yeah, the range of models within the Fusion line is impressive, but our favorite was the Fusion Hybrid. Read on to find out why…

Just because General Motors went bankrupt and is now partially owned by us, the American people, that doesn’t mean, they’ve given up all hope of making cool cars. Yeah, we know, it’s kinda hard to say without cracking up, but we’re serious. It seems right as they faced the worst year in their 101 year history, they started making cars people actually cared about. Like the now gone Pontiac G8. And the all-new Cadillac CTS-V.
Test on the famed Nürburgring in Germany, the CTS-V was built to be the best production performance sedan on the market, and we’ll be damned if it isn’t at least in the top 3. To really test it out, we got a chance to take the CTS-V around the track at the Monticello Race Way in Monticello, New York. Read our full review and watch track day video below…

Despite all the new earth-friendly regulations recently imposed on automakers, no one has any idea what we’ll be driving 15 or 20 years from now. But with the Obama administration’s new emission requirements and their decision to axe over half of the government hydrogen fuel cell funding from ’09s budget, a number of car companies are looking to put most of their marbles in the electric vehicle (EV) game.
One of those companies is Nissan. Even though they don’t plan to drop their EV until late 2010, they’ve already got a test mule up and running for journalists to put through the paces. They brought their EV-02 (the only one in existence) through New York and we got a chance to push it around a little bit. Read on for our full review below…

We’ve test-driven quite a few Audis over the last few years, but—word to Goldilocks—something about the Audi Q5 feels just right. Or is it just a sign of age that we’re fawning over a compact CUV? Either way, the car that Audi calls “segment-redefining” is out to take over the Lexus RX/BMW X3/Mercedes-Benz GLK market, and judging from Audi’s recession-defying 2008 sales numbers, we wouldn’t bet against it.

When your company’s tag line is “Zoom-Zoom” all your cars better damn well go zoom-zoom. And, for the most part, Mazda stands by it’s creedo, producing a lineup that has two of the most fun cars on the market to drive: the hoonage-inducing MazdaSpeed3 and the Chris Paul nimble MX-5 (formerly the Miata). But by injecting the “soul of a sports car” into more mainstream models like their Toyota Camry and Honda Accord fighter, the Mazda6 is a bit trickier. Read on for our full review…

The Mazda RX-8 is a complex car. And we don’t just mean we co-sign it, we mean that it stands out from the rest of the sports car world thanks to its unique features. Like its use of the Renesis rotary engine. Or its hidden rear doors. In the five years since Mazda released its flagship sports car, there have only been a few cars nearly as interesting. To see if the RX-8 was still the same car we tipped our fitted to in ‘03, we took it out for ride.

While you were out jockin’ M-B’s, Lexus’s and BMW’s, a little Korean company called Hyundai was creepin’ on the come up. Bet you didn’t know they’re now the 7th best selling automotive brand in the U.S., did you? Turns out a lot of Americans love low priced cars'who knew?
To celebrate, the company best known for econo-boxes is looking to go head to head with the big boys by introducing their new rear-wheel drive Genesis platform. Their first Genesis offering touching down in the states will be the amazingly priced 4.6 and 3.8 Sedan, followed later by the coupe. Hyundai threw Complex the keys and we took this recession special for a ride. Read the full review and check out a gallery below.
