2010 Toyota Matrix Madera CA

Sometimes called the Toyota Corolla Matrix, it comes with all the qualities that make the Corolla sedan appealing, including an affordable price, good fuel economy, and a reasonably comfortable ride. For 2010, the Matrix jumps up with respect to safety, with electronic stability newly standard on the model line.

2010 Toyota Land Cruiser Madera CA

Off-road performance is predictably very good, with an approach angle of 30 degrees, standard four-wheel drive with low and high range, and a locking Torsen center differential. The all-wheel-drive system can send anywhere between 50 to 70 percent of the engine's power to the rear wheels depending on conditions, and a range of electronic stability and dynamics controls help to maintain grip on- and off-road. Hill Descent Control makes it easy to cruise slowly down tricky inclines, and Hill Start Assist helps keep you from rolling backward on uphill starts.

2010 Tesla Roadster Madera CA

The 2010 Tesla Roadster delivers on its promise: It's the first green alternative to a century of gasoline sportscars. Its classic, primitive two-seat soft-top shape offers kick-ass electric performance: minimal eco impact for maximum driving pleasure. Just getting the car into production guarantees the Tesla Roadster its place in history.

2010 Subaru Tribeca Madera CA

The Subaru Tribeca underwent a major overhaul for 2008 with new styling, a more powerful engine, and retuned suspension, and for 2010 the updates have been kept to a minimum. There is one major shakeup in the Tribeca lineup; the five-passenger versions are no longer offered, so all models now have three rows of seats for seven-passenger capacity.

2010 Mitsubishi Lancer Madera CA

Standard on Lancer DE and ES models is a 152-horsepower, 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine; with it, performance is perky with the five-speed manual and acceptable with the continuously variable (CVT) automatic. Sporty GTS models step up to a 168-horsepower, 2.4-liter four, and CVT versions receive magnesium steering-wheel paddle-shifters with six simulated gears to suit high-performance driving.

2010 Cadillac CTS-V Madera CA

The lusty 6.2-liter, supercharged V-8 engine in the 2010 CTS-V makes an impressive 556 horsepower and 551 pound-feet of torque--enough to outgun other top sports sedans from Germany. Performance times have come in at just under four seconds to 60 mph either with the standard six-speed manual or optional six-speed automatic, with a top speed of 191 mph. In real-world driving, the tremendous torque of this engine can pin you back to your seat in just about any situation, yet a well-calibrated throttle makes it easy to take off smoothly and gently.

2010 Ford Explorer Madera CA

In the Ford lineup, the 2010 Ford Explorer is just below the Expedition and ahead of the Taurus X , Flex, Edge, and Escape in terms of exterior size and capabilities. While the Explorer is technically classified as a mid-size SUV, it can still seat up to seven passengers and tow an impressive 7,285 pounds.

2010 Hyundai Tucson Madera CA

The 2010 Tucson moves in a more economical, fuel-efficient direction for power. With either front- or all-wheel drive, all 2010 Tucsons come with a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine with 176 hp and 168 pound-feet of torque. Next year, Hyundai will offer a Tucson Blue model with a 2.0-liter four and slightly better fuel economy.

2010 Infiniti M - M35 - M45 Madera CA

The 2010 Infiniti M35 and M45 (referred to here as simply the M) are Infiniti's largest luxury sedans . Big, spacious vehicles, the 2010 M sedans are more focused on technology and sporty driving response than on outright comfort. With a replacement coming in the 2011 model year, this year's M is a carryover model, save for new paint colors.

2010 Jeep Compass Madera CA

The 2010 Jeep Compass wears a traditional Jeep face, but this crossover struggles to find its own identity among the different Jeep offerings. With a fuel-efficient four-cylinder engine and styling that borrows bits from sleeker crossover wagons and rugged traditional Jeeps--plus mechanical underpinnings shared with the Dodge Caliber and Jeep Patriot--the Jeep Compass doesn't leave a strong impression.

2010 Jeep Patriot Madera CA

For 2010, the Jeep Patriot remains relatively untouched compared to last year's model. For this year, we see the return of the 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that makes 158 horsepower in the base Patriot Sport 4x2, but it still provides barely adequate performance.

2010 Kia Rio Madera CA

A 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine, making 110 horsepower, is standard across the entire model line. That doesn't sound like much, but because it's such a light car, it feels relatively sprightly, especially with the five-speed manual gearbox (although the linkage can feel imprecise).

2010 Land Rover LR4 Madera CA

The 2010 Land Rover LR4 returns for the new model year with its new name; last year, you knew it as the LR3. With the new initials comes a revised powertrain lineup of big V-8 engines, some cosmetic tweaks to its skin, and a revamped interior with a warm, upscale feel.

2010 Lexus LS 460 - LS 600h L Madera CA

The 2010 Lexus LS lineup is quite conservatively styled inside and out, and that's a mixed bag depending on what buyers expect. However, on a positive note, the simple, organic, and elegant L-finesse design language in the LS will likely age well, as it's not at all gimmicky.

2010 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Madera CA

The 2010 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG is no ordinary C-Class. It's the fastest of them all, a point that comes across easily from its flared and creased bodywork and is driven home by its amazing 451-horsepower V-8.

2010 Mitsubishi Lancer Madera CA

Standard on Lancer DE and ES models is a 152-horsepower, 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine; with it, performance is perky with the five-speed manual and acceptable with the continuously variable (CVT) automatic. Sporty GTS models step up to a 168-horsepower, 2.4-liter four, and CVT versions receive magnesium steering-wheel paddle-shifters with six simulated gears to suit high-performance driving.
