For years, Toyota’s reputation for excellence has exceeded, by far, everyone’s standard for car-building, and made other car makers sit up and take notice. Their impeccable track record includes safety, convenience, luxury and value, and they haven’t disappointed us yet. According to Consumer Reports, the Toyota Sienna netted an impressive 93 score card, with excellent crash-test results, giving it its winning title.

Not only is it roomy, versatile and well built, but it feels like driving a car, not a van, which could be very appealing to those “Soccer Moms.”

The Toyota Sienna now has four trim levels: CE, LE, XLE and Limited, and all four levels have front wheel drive (FWD) as standard, while the upper three levels can be equipped with optional all-wheel drive.

Passenger seating is for either seven or eight, and is available with nine trims, including the CE FWD with seven-passenger seating, and the XLE Limited AWD. The Toyota Sienna also succeeds in getting 18-mpg in the city and 26-mpg on the highway.

Since its initial production in 1985, the Toyota 4Runner has always been an excellent off-road machine, as well as a capable and versatile highway hauler. Although the 4Runner traditionally comes with a long list of excellent features, we have harbored a few pet peeves with the vehicle.
 The interior, while adequate,has always felt somewhat cramped with uncomfortable seating. In addition,previous powerplants have been somewhat anemic, and it often seemed that Toyota put to much emphasis on off-road appeal other then on-road pleasure.However,for the 03′ 4Runner, everything has changed. First off, this fourth-generation 4Runner is larger then it’s predecessors, especially in the interior where it counts. It has 4-1/2 incs in additional length and wheelbase, and more then 3 inches of additional width. Inside, the new 4Runners has 2 inches of additional front legroom, 1-1/2 inches more rear legroom, slightly more headroom, a pleasing 4-1/2 inches of extra shoulder room, and 5-1/2 inches of additional hip room in the front.

Performance is also vastly improved in this model, since a V-8 powerplant is now an option on the 4Runner. An all-new 4.0L V-6, which delivers 245hp and 283 lb-ft of torque, is the standard engine. The 4.7L V-8 is the same engine found in the current land cruiser and Sequoia. All4WD 4Runners are equipped with with a two speed transfer case and a Multi-Mode shift-on-the-fly 4WD system with a Torsen sensing-type limited-slip center differential. Additional features of the new 4Runner include a sport enhancement suspension system on the Sports Edition, a Downhill Assist Control system, a Hill-start. Assist Control system (for greater uphill versatility), anti-lock disc brakes at all four corners, and an all-new body-on-ladder frame chassis design.

I have always liked the BMW 6 series coupes and now they are making a convertible too/ Back in 1987 and 1988 when I sold BMWs back in Florida I always favored the 635 CSI coupe and actually sold a couple of them. One to a husband and wife doctor team that paid full sticker and financed it for 84 months. Never did quite understand that. Must have needed a tax write off.. The new 2009 650i coupe and convertible are much different than the old 633 and 635 and are still my favorite BMW except the M-6 which is a 650 with the M engine and drive line and an extra 20 grand. They have about doubled in price but the so has everything else.. A person can tell you about them but the only true way to really appreciate a BMW is to get behind the wheel and drive one. They drive and handle like none of the American Cars. Get a 650 i convertible on a nice day, put the top down, and head for the nearest University campus and you will more fully understand the allure of a BMW convertible. It doesn’t matter if you are 20 or 70 you will get a heck of a reaction to the car and who knows what else now days.

The 6 series are equipped with the 4.8 liter DOHC 32 valve, 360 horsepower V-8. Each engine has the valvetronic, direct ignition system with knock control, a two stage air intake manifold, BMW’s double VANOS steplessly variable valve timing and electronically controlled engine cooling.

You have your choice of the 6 speed manual transmission with Dynamic Driving Control or a 6 speed automatic transmission with Sport and Manual shift modes and steering wheel mounted paddle shifters, Dynamic Driving Control, and Adaptive Transmission Control. No matter which you choose, The 650i is one heck of a vehicle that anybody would be proud to own and drive. It is rated at 16/23 miles per gallon and has a 18.5 gallon tank. 0-60 time is 5.3 for the coupe and 5.7 for the much heavier convertible.

Like all BMWs, the 650 comes with just about everything you could ever need or want but there are three optional packages available. there is the sport package which includes 19 X 8.5 rear and 19 X 8.0 front star spoked forged alloy wheels with 245/40 front and 275/35 run flat performance tires, 8 way power front sport seats with adjustable headrests, manual thigh support, and active head restraints. Chrome exhaust tips and a contoured hood. There is the cold weather package that includes 3 stage heated front seats, heated steering wheel and a ski bag. The one I would have
