2011 BMW X6 M

Sep 8th

The question of what, exactly, the BMW X6 is, and how to classify it, is not made any easier with the installation of a race-bred 4.4 liter twin-turbo V8.

Really, it was already confusing enough.  This big BMW’s coupe-like five-door body and sporty lines would defy convention even if they weren’t riding on a tall, SUV-like chassis with all-wheel drive.  And now, a powerful engine and the performance credentials of BMW’s M division are added to the mix?  I just don’t know what to think.

SUVs haven’t been making much news lately.  To listen to the marketing, you’d think that the mid- and full-size sport-utes of the world were extinct, owing to how quiet the manufacturers have been regarding their existence this past year.  And yet, there is still plenty of action in this market; the revised Dodge Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee are ample evidence of that.

Advertising presence or no, with significantly upgraded competitors hitting the streets it was time for the stalwart Ford Explorer to make a serious paradigm shift.  Ford didn’t hold back with the latest redesign, and the 2011 model represents the biggest set of changes since the vehicle was introduced in 1990.

2011 Toyota Avalon

This is one of those cars that many people forget still exists.  The Toyota Avalon is known for inspiring phrases like “competently boring.”  Toyota’s answer to just about every car Buick ever built could be said to have transcended its source material.

Then again, Buicks aren’t all that boring these days.  Redesigned for 2011, the Avalon soldiers on as prime bridge-club transportation though, with a big back seat, plenty of power and appliance-like operation. It started out in 1994 as a slightly cushier Camry clone and aimed at mid-luxury brands like Buick, Mercury and Oldsmobile.  In the years since, it’s outlived two of those marques and over the  years the Avalon has become a very distinct and different vehicle from Toyota’s bread-and-butter sedans.   More >
