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 March 26, 2008The 2008 Saturn Vue Green Line is the cheapest hybrid SUV you can buy--in more ways than one. We like its revamped exterior and we can live with the spartan cabin, but its gas mileage falls short.TAGS:OnStar, Saturn, navigation, direction, car, map
Reviewed on May 25, 2007Although we aren't crazy about the exterior of the 2007 Chevrolet HHR, we give it credit for making a strong statement.

Reviewed on March 20, 2006Our criticisms of the 2006 Acura RL are minor compared to all it has to offer. It's marketed as a high-tech car and delivers on all fronts, from live traffic on its navigation screen to cutting-edge driving technology.TAGS:Acura, tire, brake, OnStar, car, mile, coverage
