A lot happened in the four years since we last drove the second-generation Subaru Tribeca. Two new countries declared sovereignty, more than 40,000 species were discovered, and an exuberant Antoine Dodson rose to YouTube fame in mere days.

Remember the Chevy Uplander? Of course you don't. Uplander was Chevy's last-and some say pathetic-attempt to take on the swashbuckling duo known as the Toyota Sienna and Honda Odyssey. Poor sales led Chevy to kill the Uplander and exit the minivan segment entirely back in 2008-the same year the Traverse came on the scene.

"Oh my god, is that for real? It's like a grown-up Big Wheel." "It's a Mini monster truck." The Mini Countryman elicits all sorts of responses from bystanders. So far, they're only positive, but at the same time you get the feeling no one takes the pint-sized crossover seriously. Other companies might cringe at the thought of their products being compared to toys, but Mini revels in it. A vehicle like the Countryman was never meant to be just another car; it's all fun all the time.

We auto journalists are often accused of having unrealistic expectations for some of the cars we drive. Because we drive high-end luxury and sports cars on a regular basis, critics argue that we ask too much of everyday cars. We journalists combat this by readjusting our expectations to objectively evaluate the vehicle currently under review. That said, the Chrysler 200 Convertible is one spectacular rental car.

Whenever I travel, I do my best to rent or borrow a car that's not commonly available in the U.S. It's obviously fun for me to drive something different, and a chance to write about some foreign hardware.

Dodge is bringing back its Super Bee package for one more nostalgic round in the hands of the brand’s ever-popular Charger muscle car. The Super Bee designation was first placed on a 1968 Coronet model before it was moved on over to the Charger model in 1971. It then took a long hiatus before it was applied once again, this time on the Charger SRT8 Super Bee (pictured) model in 2006, 2007, and 2008. For the 2011 model year, Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne has announced that the Super Bee package will be applied to the Charger line, but no specific details were given for the package.

Now that the 2012 Ford Focus is out in showrooms for the U.S. masses, it's time to focus (pun intended) on what enthusiasts are excited about -- the upcoming ST model. These latest spy shots snapped on the Nurburgring and in cold weather are evidence that Ford is hard at work fine tuning its new hot hatch.
First up is the silver-colored tester caught during a 'Ring attack. Because the sheetmetal and body kit appear to be mostly stock and far from the stylish and aggressive treatment on the Tangerine Scream-colored concept model, this ST is uncamouflaged. A thin metal pipe for the center exhaust and the gray, smoked-out rims are the only ST giveaways.

Like most of the world, we at Inside Line feel that technology, in and of itself, is neither good nor evil. Instead, we must look to the application of said technology to discern where it lands on the benevolence-malevolence spectrum. The technological pedigree of BMW's 2006 M6 is as vast and impressive as any vehicle currently on the market. And after a thorough road test, we have a solid understanding of where the M6 offers cutting-edge driving dynamics — and where it feels like a rhinoplasty gone bad.

Ford’s compact C-Max vanlet, launched as the Focus C-Max in Europe in 2002, has been such a sensation that Ford followed it up by launching a full line of MPVs, including the larger S-Max and Galaxy. The idea was to make Ford of Europe the go-to company when it comes to one-box vehicles, sort of what Chrysler used to be here in the U.S.
