Reviewed on July 24, 2008The big 2008 Audi A8 L W12 combines high luxury and surprisingly sporty performance. Its tech credentials are anchored by a stellar Bang & Olufsen audio system, and include some innovative driving tech. While quite nice to drive, a chauffeur makes a fine accessory.TAGS:subwoofer, dashboard, car, MP3, audio, DVD
Reviewed on July 1, 2008The 2008 Volvo S80 is one of the more comfortable cars we've tested, and gets good mileage for a car of its size. Cabin tech doesn't go out of its way to work with personal electronics, but the safety gear is cutting edge.TAGS:Volvo, coffee, cabin, dashboard, road, icon
Reviewed on June 5, 2008The 2008 Toyota 4Runner works as a solid and rugged SUV, but the attempt to tech it up with an integrated portable navigation device is a kludge.

Reviewed on April 7, 2008With its fantastic performance, the 2008 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S Cabriolet works best as a track car or a weekend cruiser on mountain roads with the top down.

Reviewed on May 12, 2008The 2008 Chevrolet Malibu LTZ isn't a driver's car, but offers a comfortable cabin for the daily commute or shopping trips. Its cabin tech is largely unremarkable.TAGS:OnStar, signal, cell phone, call, car, dashboard
Reviewed on November 30, 2007The 2008 Mazda Tribute HEV Touring has none of the cabin tech we like to see--you will have to get the Grand Touring version for those options.
