Review 2009 Acura TL: $40K and worth every penny
It wasn't too many
years ago $30,000 was the beginning price point for a luxury vehicle.
Now, $40,000 is the standard, and that's where the Acura TL has been
perched for the past several years. The TL debuted with the 1996 model,
was redesigned in 2004 and for 2009 has its third generation. Like
previous models, the current edition is all good with the vehicle's
largest engine to date and a good selection of other new additions.

So what is it like to drive the new Chevy Volt when the battery’s charge is depleted?
New York Times reporter Lindsay Brooke recently had the chance to drive Chevy's upcoming inline hybrid the Volt after the battery was depleted.
Keep in mind that the Volt is capable of running solely on electricity for about 40 miles.
Many automotive publications have speculated that when the Volt's battery gets depleted the car will run like an East German Trabant because the car's gas engine is only used to charge up the battery and not turn the wheels like a Prius.
In other words, the Volt is a dead duck when the battery goes empty. Currently the Volt is scheduled to be sold next year by GM.
So how does the Volt drive when the battery is empty?
Review 2010 Toyota Tundra 4×4 : Or how to drive down a snowy road sideways in a full-sized pick-up
What makes the 2010 Toyota Tundra 4X4 such a worthy pick-up in its class is that it is exceptionally easy to forget the trucks 5,400 pounds of metal, plastic, and glass.
Plus, the Tundra's interesting design mixture of a muscular and brawny body with sexy and feminine curves makes it unique in a world of manly big-rig styled competitors.
However, I was quickly reminded of the pick-up's true weight as the Tundra was sliding down the snow-covered and icy road (sideways) toward either a small forest of strangely pointy trees, or the much bigger and heavier yellow road grader.
As is always the case with these sort of disasters…at the time it all seemed like a such good idea.
Video Review 2009 Dodge Ram: Big rig styling for a muscular pick-up
The all-new Ram is radical–just like the early nineties revamp that saw
the Ram’s sales skyrocket.
But it’s under the skin that the revolution
lies this time: a coil spring rear suspension marks a half-ton pickup
first. Is it enough to make the Ram the best 1500 out there?
Britain’s AutoCar: Electric Rolls Phantom planned
Rolls-Royce could have an electric Phantom on the road in just 12 months, according to a company source.
That would be well in time for the car to be one of the centrepieces of BMW’s sponsorship of the 2012 London Olympics.
Company boss Tom Purvis has previously revealed a wish to produce an
electric Rolls to offset any possible future ban on big-engined saloons
in urban areas and hedge against tough inner-city CO2 legislation.
Internally
it’s thought that the near-silence of electric propulsion, and the fact
that full torque is available from a standstill, would align perfectly
with Rolls-Royce’s core values. Engineers are currently hard at work
making this a reality, although a running prototype has yet to hit the
road.
