Our 2010 Volvo XC60 is still a great car to drive and to load up, but now that we've had a taste of the next-generation S60, we know there is definitely room for improvement.

Great fuel economy, comfortable cabin, and an entertaining chassis. Why wouldn't we choose the GTI for a week-long roadtrip?

With not much happening yet on the aftermarket front, we decide to re-christen our 2010 Audi S4. It is a 3.0T no more.

BMW’s 2010 R1200GS has become an instant favorite among the staff. We've been so busy riding it, we barely had time to put this article together.

We recently bid farewell to our extended-stay 550i, and in its place arrived a spankin’ new 535i, which should see us into next year. Now that it’s made its way through the rest of the office, we have some thing to say about it.

Just as we were getting to know it better, our BMW 550i GT has packed up and left. It was a great three months. We'll have to do this again sometime.

When we last checked in on our Volvo XC60 long-term test, we’d just added a new set of lowering springs from H&R and were enjoying the slightly firmer and more confident ride. While there’s no argument about the validity of that statement around our office, there is a philosophical debate blossoming about whether or not the sharper ride is a good thing.

I'll admit, it's been a long time since I put fake carbon fiber in the interior of a Volkswagen. So why would I do it now? Glad you asked...
