Car companies usually have a few competitors that they target, be it for benchmarking or simply for stealing sales. This list is usually a short one of a few top sellers and performers. For example, a car company would be crazy not to target its new family sedan at the Honda Accord, Nissan Alti...
When we drove the Honda FCX and the GM Sequel fuel-cell prototype vehicles, we found that the Honda is much better finished and much more like a traditional car. (Read our complete first drive of the Honda FCX sedan.) It feels like a very nice Honda Accord, with an electric whine taking the pla...
But therein lies the problem. The Accord Hybrid was a “performance” hybrid, using the hybrid system to both improve performance and give a small increase in fuel economy. Thing is, not too many hybrid buyers seem to be looking for V8 performance along with the fuel economy of a regular four-...
In addition to distinctive styling, an admirable and increasingly rare quality in any automobile these days, the 9-5 has an airy cabin with good visibility--something else that's getting harder and harder to find. The steering is nicely weighted and offers good feedback, and the car ha...
Rick Small: In this group, the Infiniti G35 really stands out as a sporty and fun car to drive. It has great road feel and a firm but sporty ride that isn't punishing. The powerful V6 delivers strong performance, sounds great, and is quicker than many V8s. Fuel economy is decent considering the...

Feeling the pressure of escalating energy costs on my wallet, I could be very satisfied with the four-cylinder versions of the venerable Honda Accord and the new Nissan Altima. Both are nicely equipped for around $23,000, fun to drive with nimble handling and a comfortable ride, and have...
Roomy seats, front and rear, except head room isn't generous." I appreciate the rear-view camera; it's needed since the rear visibility is quite poor with a short window and tall sill." Nice car, but not much better than a loaded Honda Accord."
