They review some nice cars like featured below:
The LR2 is Land Rover's smallest and most affordable model. In purpose and intent, it replaces the lackluster Freelander, which was sold for a short four-year run in the U.S. The LR2's small size makes it maneuverable in urban environments. At the same time, the LR2 still retains what Land Rovers are known for: superior off-road ability.
Lexus GS 450h
The Lexus GS450h is a nice little hybrid sidestep. Yes it can run on electric power and yes this is a ‘proper’ hybrid, but if you start thrashing it the car will use the batteries and electric drive to increase performance (particularly from rest with instant-torque from the Synergy Drive). So what Greenies peg as a step in the right direction, petrolheads also think is a good thing.
Nissan Quest
The first two generations of the Quest were rather anonymous and subpar, but the current, third-generation Nissan Quest made a huge leap ahead in terms of styling and performance. But the cabin was criticized for its oddball design (which placed the instruments in the center and many too-similar buttons on a large pillar-style center stack), flat seats, abundance of hard plastic and inconsistent build quality. Thankfully, a recent midcycle refresh brought about significant interior improvement via a redesigned dash and center stack, and upgraded materials.
