2009 GMC Yukon: Powerhorse Family Vehicle That Does It All

Yes, I'm going to defend the GMC Yukon as a family vehicle. Some families do have more than two children, and some of those children get big. And some families have big hobbies. Not every family can fit into a sedan, and the Yukon is a great option.
Families that would consider a Yukon usually need to carry either lots of people or lots of stuff. Good thing the Yukon can do both! The XL model is a bit longer than the standard, and can fit up to nine people. Even
2010 Kia Soul: Yes, Judge It On Looks Alone

If your first glance at a 2010 Kia Soul doesn't turn you off, then you're just the person the Soul is looking for. The Soul is the latest in the boxy-style compact utility vehicle. At first glance, it doesn't look like a family car, but it sure can be, if you like this vehicle. The Kia Soul certainly makes a statement about the type of person it wants to attract. The good thing is that Kia seems to know that person well, and carries those same attitudes throughout the vehicle.

2009 Mazda CX-9 Uses Styling to its Family Car Advantage

The 2009 Mazda CX-9 caught my eye on the styling. It's rare for me to evaluate a family vehicle based on how it looks, but in this case it made sense. Rex Roy, editor of The Car Connection, got my attention, saying, "The 2009 Mazda CX-9 resembles a full-size wagon jacked up about a foot, riding on oversize wheels." Whoah. Sounds like a monster truck to me. Then I took another look, and realized it's that "jacked up about a foot" part that makes it so much easier to shuttle little kids in and out of

2008 Nissan Pathfinder: Top Pick for New Mom, First-Grade Teacher

As Cathy Dodson became a new mom, her hunt for a family vehicle began with a search for a third-row seat and room for cargo. And this first-grade teacher wasn't going to settle on the first minivan that crossed her path. The 2008 Nissan Pathfinder passed muster. Dodson teaches at Stone Academy in Greenville, South Carolina, and she took some time after school to tell me exactly what she was looking for in a family car.

BMW 5-series’ Internal Conflict: The Gran Turismo vs. The Sports Wagon

Looking at the next generation, 2010 5-series Gran Turismo, youd think that the car is going to be stepping on the toes of another 5-series--the Sports Wagon .
Normally when picking a hatchback, such as the new GT, over a sedan its for cargo capacity and accessibility. Thats also the reason for picking the wagon body style of a car as well.
So which is going to be a better car for hauling all your cargo? Since the GT isnt in production, lets look at the
2010 Ford Transit Connect

As we've written several times, we like the idea of the 2010 Ford Transit Connect: A small, fuel-efficient van for use in urban areas or where a full-size delivery van isn't needed.
It's meant for smaller, lighter loads where a full-size van would be overkill. Think your local florist or deli, not a stone supply yard.
With fuel economy rated at 22 mpg city / 25 mpg highway, the Transit Connect does far better than Ford's best Econoline E-150 full-size
Enform Infotainment Features Launch In 2010 Lexus HS 250h

Yesterday TuningTruck.com brought you a first drive of the new 2010 Lexus HS 250h hybrid. To give you a brief recap, were positively impressed but not completely thrilled with the HS. The exterior styling is a little awkward, and its interior and cargo space feel a bit more restricted than in the Prius. And the HS performs well enough to meet most expectations, with fuel economy in the 30s, but its by no means a performance car.
With that middling impression, you might
