Review of the 2009 Cadillac Escalade Hybrid

2009 Cadillac Escalade Hybrid - 6/29/09

MSRP: $73,135 - $87,435 | MPG: 21 Hwy, 20 City

Details: 7 Seats, 3 Rows, 3 Latch Connectors

Don’t let the ginormous hybrid decals fool you; this behemoth is no planet-saver. After test-driving it for a week, I really can’t see what makes the Cadillac Escalade Hybrid so popular.


Review of the 2009 Jeep Liberty

2009 Jeep Liberty - 6/23/09

MSRP: $23,015 - $27,730 | MPG: 21 Hwy, 16 City

Details: 5 Seats, 2 Rows, 2 Latch Connectors

The 2009 Jeep Liberty is truck-like in its maneuverability, and even seemed sluggish and had difficulty accelerating when I switched out of four-wheel drive. Its four-wheel drive didn’t perform nearly as well as I expected on the muddy river that’s normally my street.


Review of the 2009 Chrysler Sebring

2009 Chrysler Sebring - 6/16/09

MSRP: $23,040 - $35,125 | MPG: 26 Hwy, 21 City

Details: 5 Seats, 2 Rows, 2 Latch Connectors

While the 2009 Chrysler Sebring hasn’t been updated for this year, it still looks current. A glance through the window showed me a Dark Slate Gray leather interior with brushed metal and tortoiseshell accents. Not bad, I thought.


Review of the 2009 Lexus RX 450h

2010 Lexus RX 450h - 6/10/09

MSRP: $41,660 - $43,250 | MPG: 28 Hwy, 32 City

Details: 5 Seats, 2 Rows, 2 Latch Connectors

I love the comfort and the features and how well it fit my kids and all our stuff, but when it came time to let it go, it was the drive that I really hated to see leave.


Review of the 2009 Audi Q5

2009 Audi Q5 - 6/03/09

MSRP: $37,200 - $37,200 | MPG: 23 Hwy, 18 City

Details: 5 Seats, 2 Rows, 2 Latch Connectors

The Q5 broke my heart and left me crying on the side of the road. Not through any fault of its own, only because the people at Audi are mean and they wouldn’t let me keep it.


Review of the 2009 Acura MDX

2009 Acura MDX - 6/01/09

MSRP: $40,990 - $47,140 | MPG: 20 Hwy, 15 City

Details: 7 Seats, 3 Rows, 2 Latch Connectors

I’ve always had a crush on the Acura MDX, so getting a week to spend in it was kind of exciting. Of course, no fantasy turns out perfectly, and the reality of the MDX was somewhat less than perfect – as reality often is.


Review of the 2009 Audi A4

2009 Audi A4 - 5/26/09

MSRP: $31,000 - $48,800 | MPG: 25 Hwy, 23 City

Details: 5 Seats, 2 Rows, 2 Latch Connectors

My family believed the A4 was truly magical, and maybe we’re onto something. It’s sporty and powerful for the performance driver, yet safe and practical for the day-to-day driver.


Review of the 2009 BMW X5

2009 BMW X5 - 4/29/09

MSRP: $47,500 - $56,200 | MPG: 19 Hwy, 19 City

Details: 5 Seats, 2 Rows, 2 Latch Connectors

The 2009 BMW X5 xDrive35d and I ended our two weeks together with mixed feelings toward each other. Put another way, I developed what can only be described as a love/hate relationship with this car. 


Review of the 2009 Toyota RAV4

2009 Toyota RAV4 - 4/23/09

MSRP: $21,500 - $27,810 | MPG: 26 Hwy, 22 City

Details: 5 Seats, 2 Rows, 2 Latch Connectors

What pushes the 2009 Toyota RAV4 into chick-car territory is the fact that the SUV can be described as “cute” or “small.” Instantly, all masculine street cred is kicked to the adorable pink curb of chick-cardom.


Review of the 2009 Chevrolet Traverse

2009 Chevrolet Traverse - 4/20/09

MSRP: $29,215 - $41,975 | MPG: 23 Hwy, 17 City

Details: 7 Seats, 3 Rows, 2 Latch Connectors

Just when you thought Detroit was being overrun by men in pinstriped suits, along comes Sue Wilson, the vehicle line director for the 2009 Chevrolet Traverse. A modern mom of four, Sue knows what we want in a car, and she’s delivered (mostly).
