Being critical of the 2011 Subaru Outback is like harping on an A- student. There’s nothing wrong with it at all, but with a little extra effort, the 2011 Outback could definitely be an A+ student.

The 2011 CTS-V Sport Wagon is the kind of car that makes you forget you’re running errands and instead makes you feel like the world is as conquerable as picking up your dry cleaning.

The 2010 Volkswagen Jetta TDI is truly was a wonderful environment to be in. Add to that speed great gas mileage, great steering and responsive braking, and this wagon wound up knocking our socks off.

The 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid gives me the features I like the most and wraps them up in a sharp, fuel-efficient whole. This car is awesome.

The kids wanted the C70’s top up before we even got to our lunch spot. However, that was all the complaining they ever did in this car, and for that I was glad because the Volvo C70 has me dreaming of owning one.

With its V-6 engine, all-wheel drive, and sinewy looks, the 2011 Infiniti G37x coupe will make you the envy of the carpool lane, until the other parents see the effort it takes to get younger kids in and out of the backseat.

The 2011 Land Rover Range Rover has its act together. It feels sturdy on the road and it’s easy to drive and responsive. The exterior is iconic and the interior dazzles.

The 2011 Murano is fun to drive, and it’s comfortable enough to be in all day long — even with the kids. Not everyone will love the design, but that’s what happens when something is unique.

The 2011 Chevy Cruze Eco offers great gas mileage without sacrificing drivability, comfort or its good looks.

I was impressed with the 2011 Chrysler 300C’s progress. I enjoyed the way it drove. It was a large, long car, but it didn’t feel that way. The interior looks sophisticated, and the fit and finish is well-executed.

The 2011 Audi Q5 is a small, zippy SUV that’s not your typical family hauler and will deftly handle any task thrown at it in your daily life. However, it’s not a good fit for families that need a large cargo area.

The all-new 2011 Nissan Juke is as fun to drive as any other small, sporty car in the market. I wasn’t prepared to like this five-passenger crossover as much as I did.
