At a club in Los Angeles with his wife, senior editor Jonny Lieberman had a shocking experience. "We parked at a lot on the corner of Hollywood and Vine, catty-corner from the Capital Records building.

As all four wheels on the QT Wildcat 300STR leave the ground and we launch skyward, I'm living a "Dukes of Hazzard" moment.

The all-new Ford Focus and Chevrolet Cruze are the best compact sedans ever produced by the Blue Oval and Bow Tie, each offering more power, more comfort, and more style than their predecessors.

There's a fine line between quoting and plagiarism. Quoting means you're borrowing the best parts of a story and giving credit to the author. Plagiarism is bold-faced copying. One is good, the other gets you fired. With that in mind, let's talk about the 2006 Mitsubishi Raider pickup.

This station wagon is just about as extreme as they come. It's the Lancer Evolution wagon, a full-blown Mitsubishi Evo with five doors. Same 4WD platform as the rally-bred Lancer Evo IX sedan, same turbocharged goodness.

Dig through any sales literature on the 2006 Mercury Milan and one point becomes glaringly obvious: Mercury wants its new sedan to stand out as upscale and valuable in one of the market's most aggressive and important segments.

For roughly 40 nights a year, a small patch of blacktop in Downtown Los Angeles becomes the most sought after real estate in Southern California.

Turn the key in the 2007 Saturn Vue Green Line hybrid and it drives like a well-sorted, peppy crossover. That's exactly the point. GM Powertrain engineers weren't trying to save the world with technology that takes a postgraduate engineering degree to appreciate or operate. People like Steve Tarnowsky, the assistant chief engineer of GM Hybrid Systems, simply wanted to build a hybrid that made sense to buy and drive.

Mercedes is reportedly contemplating a smaller SLS-derived, V6-engined coupe for 2014, codenamed SLV (the SLS is pictured). The V stands for variable bodystyles -- the car could be configured as a coupe, a convertible, a shooting brake, a roadster -- and the idea behind the program is to make the most of the SLS's aluminium spaceframe architecture.
