The Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 caught our attention for a variety of things, chief among them being its distinction of having the most powerful engine a Camaro has ever had.

Logan is a family and multi-purpose sedan, characterized by a modern style architecture. Its well-defined lines, from the hood up to the back, give a dynamic general look to this car. Its generous dimensions provide an excellent habitability, which easily allow three tall passengers to sit down comfortably on the rear seats.

Hyundai's Genesis sedan is much improved for 2012, yet its position in the market won't change one bit. The Genesis will continue to give engineers and product planners at Mercedes-Benz and Lexus fits, thanks to the sedan's upgraded V-6 engine, revised suspension tuning, and a new eight-speed automatic transmission -- not to mention the 429-horsepower R-Spec model.

In a July 2010 comparison test, we pitted the new 5.0-liter 412-horsepower 2011 Ford Mustang GT against the more senior (and more powerful) 426-horse 2010 Chevrolet Camaro SS and 425-horse 2010 Dodge Challenger SRT8. The final results were quite unexpected. The least-powerful car won, and the most powerful came in last -- a finishing order that inverted the power rankings.

This was one of the comments we received in response to our full test of the 2011 Kia Optima Turbo:

"jaggery: So Edmunds can we get a Long-Term test of this vehicle, and you guys just change the tires since that was the main thing you complained about??? I'd love to see how you guys like the vehicle over a longer period, and the gas mileage as well."

Next time you're feeling a little groggy at the start of your commute, forget Starbucks. We've found that a good smoky burnout will produce the same effect as a triple macchiato. We're not sure if it's the smell of melting Michelins or the neighbors screaming for you to grow up, but a good spin of the tires always leaves us feeling quite wide awake — and it doesn't cost four bucks either.

A tool is an object designed to do a particular kind of work. The type of work the 2007 Acura TL is designed to do is maintain its leading sales position within the Acura lineup and close the gap on the entry-lux sport sedan sales leader, the BMW 3 Series. While Acura is pleased with current TL progress, holding steady at around 80,000 units a year, it seems the product planners at Acura have been watching the success of their recently rereleased European and Japanese counterparts in the entry-lux segment. BMW 3 Series sales shot up at the end of 2005, and the new Lexus IS Series is gaining ground every day. Infiniti just made public the all-new G35 and we predict nothing but well-deserved success.
