Notes by macky111: Yes, new for 2010 is an available 280 horsepower V6 version with sportier suspension tuning, a revised steering system and larger wheels. And this has resulted in kind of a "tale of two cars" when it comes to the 2010 TSX.

Notes by macky111: Powering the 2010 Honda Pilot is a 3.5 liter V6 engine, producing 250 horsepower and 253 pound-feet of torque, that is coupled with a five-speed automatic transmission (a manual transmission is not available).

Notes by macky111: True, it doesn't have the name and brand prestige yet of its famous rivals, but for those seeking a premium automobile at a discount price, the Genesis makes a lot of sense.

Notes by macky111: While still not a "performance" vehicle in the sense of having the athleticism and reflexes of a sport sedan, the GS 350's 303 horsepower V6 makes it a fast car with a lot of elegance.

Notes by macky111: Now roomier in nearly every measurement than its earlier generation, Mazda 6 occupants will enjoy one of the largest cabins available in a midsize sedan.

Notes by macky111: The Nissan Altima debuted about 15 years ago ... and that says something. Any vehicle with this kind of staying power obviously has been doing something right.

Notes by macky111: While the RT's 5.7 liter HEMI V8 is the same as last year, there's a new variable valve timing system that pumps up the power . Horsepower has increased to 368 from 340, while lb-ft of torque is up to 395.

Notes by macky111: Its long list of standard features include many considered somewhat upscale for a budget-priced coupe, such as a dual-pane sunroof, air conditioning, full power accessories, one touch windows, cruise control, keyless entry, folding and reclining back seat

Notes by macky111: In addition to its fresh look, most of its other mechanical components are new, or in the case of the rear suspension design, borrowed from the 2009 Lincoln MKS luxury sedan, a nice place to borrow from.

Notes by macky111: The 2010 Ford Focus is offered in both sedan and coupe forms. The four-door body style is available in four trims, while the two-door comes in two.
