coupe for a spin during a recent media preview at the Chicago
Automobile Trade Association.

Ill., giving journalists a chance to go off road, take cars on the

redesigned Escape Hybrid makes environmental driving look cool. Sassy roadster goes under coverFor 2007, Mazda introduces the Retractable Power Hard Top on the MX-5.

convertible arena, joining the likes of Pontiac, Volkswagen, Chrysler
and Volvo who have also trod this ground in the last year.
XK Coupe draws attentionWith lines reminiscent of the Aston Martin DB9, the Jaguar XK is one of those cars that is guaranteed to draw a crowd. It drives well and looks great, but if you want to fit any more than two people in this car, it's not going to happen -- at least not comfortably.
Eos goes toplessThe new Volkswagen Eos is one of those vehicles that proves you really can have it all. It provides sleek top-down driving in the summer, with all the comforts of a regular hard-top coupe when the weather turns cold.

Saturn's shining starIt's been awhile since I've been excited about a Saturn. The Aura,
however, is a true shining star. Chock full of standard features and
lux touches, the midsize Aura is a must-test vehicle. And with its
affordable price, it might just end up as a must-buy. DriveLive with
Auto Reporter Jill Ciminillo in her video review.
FJ Cruiser at home in mudThe FJ Cruiser is a quirky and distinctive entry into the Toyota
lineup. While this toy truck look-alike is capable in off-road
situations, huge blind spots make it a less-than-perfect city driver.
Overall, however, it's fun to drive and fairly easy on the bank account.
DriveLive in the 2006 Corvette Z06
At first glance you may not recognize what's right in front of you. It could easily be just another Corvette. But the hood scoop and quad exhaust mark it as one of the elite: A Z06 model. That means an addtional 35 horsepower and 0-60-mph times of 3.7 seconds. With that much power, inexperienced drivers beware: It's incredibly easy to lose control. But for those in the know, the Z06 is a ton of fun. Especially on a racetrack.
