Driving the length of the Canary Island of Tenerife is roughly equivalent to leaving my driveway in Huntington Beach and motoring up the California coast to Malibu. Driving up the California coast I see beaches, a bit of low-altitude forest, and miles of urban sprawl. If I'm lucky the drive culminates in a parking spot leading to pancakes and good coffee.

"Now with less ugly!" isn't the greatest selling point, but revised styling really is the most significant change to the refreshed 2012 Acura TL. Although Acura is marking 25 years in the United States, there's not much new product beside the TL and the recently arrived TSX wagon to help the brand celebrate. That's okay, because Acura expects TL sales to jump 20 percent this year on the strength of its improved efficiency, quieter cabin, and of course, its new duds.

When we first drove Infiniti's new entry-level G25 sedan late last year, we found the car to be a mixed bag. While the G25 was far from a standout dynamically and was relatively light on luxury equipment, it did offer a few advantages over its more expensive G37 brother, namely a lower base price and a smoother V-6 engine. Our impressions remain largely the same after a full week behind the wheel and a trip to our testing facility, where we ran the usual gauntlet of acceleration, braking, and handling measurements.

When the tachometer in the new Infiniti M35h (called Nissan Fuga Hybrid in Japan) fell while we were cruising along at 40 mph, we couldn't help but do a double take. But as the needle hit zero and the car continued to hum along, we realized there were no gremlins in the system. The engine had simply cut out and we were driving in electric-only mode.

Compact sedans are all the rage, with a host of new entries from both domestic and import manufacturers reaching showrooms recently. Nissan will cash in on that popularity with the 2012 Versa sedan, debuting today at the New York auto show with refreshed styling and tweaks to improve fuel economy.
The 2012 Versa rides on an evolution of the last car's platform called V, for Versatile. The sedan's wheelbase and width are unchanged from the current model, but it loses about an inch of length and height. Despite this, Nissan says that packaging improvements for the engine and transaxle mean there is more trunk space. The new car also should be marginally lighter than before.

Any Ferrari is cool, and yes we said any, even the 1980’s 400i sedan. As long as there is a prancing horse on the hood, these cars are destined to be cherished for generations to come. The Ferrari 348 series is no different and it spawned one of the most loved modern Ferrari’s in the 355 model. One issue that people tend to have with the 348 is that there was a lack of power from its V8. All that really means is that when you take a 348 Challenge model and bolt on some serious power upgrades you’ll end up with a super cool Ferrari.

As usual, it comes down to the numbers. Honda says there will be 81.5 million Americans between the ages of 15 and 34 by the end of the decade. That's enough iPod addicts to make Gen Y the largest consumer group ever, topping even the baby boomers.

Inside Line concludes our 12-month test of the 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser. Over its 28,000-mile lifetime in our fleet, our long-term FJ bested the trails of Death Valley, Mammoth Mountain and Yosemite National Park. A couple of pesky rocks got the best of it, however.

As you may remember, last summer, one of our writer’s had the pleasure of attending the PRO Mercedes AMG Driving Academy. While you only had the one article to read about the event, we heard about his experience for at least the next 6 months – making us all completely jealous and waiting for the next season of courses to attend ourselves. Mercedes just announced that they will now be using the SLS AMG GT3 for the MASTERS Academy, making us even more eager to sign up.

Let’s not beat around the bush here: Morgan has many of the qualities you’d expect to find in a good, old-fashioned cult. Seen from a safe distance, the English sports-car manufacturer seems deliberately eccentric—it still regards lumber as an appropriate material for use in a vehicle’s body—with its followers tending to demonstrate the sort of glassy-eyed devotion you’d expect from the freshly mind-laundered.
