        Annette Bratcher : Honda has really upgraded the Pilot's interior, with a handsome, distinctive dashboard layout and nicely placed controls. Front and middle seats are roomy and comfortable, while the rearmost seats are kid-sized, reached by sliding the middle seats forward. Fold down the second- and third-row seats, and you have 87 cubic feet of cargo space.


        Annette Dutton : The FX is fine the way it is in my opinion as long as they keep updating its hardware to keep up with the times, however, I think it would be interesting if Infiniti offered the FX and G sedan in some kind of hybrid variants. Nissan already has the technology (the Altima Hybrid). All they would need to do is a bit of reengineering. Lexus for the time has had claim to the luxury hybrid segment...a segment that is growing with Mercedes-Benz planning on entering w/ hybrid variants of the S-class and M-class. I think Infiniti would do well to offer similar vehicles. After all, Green is the new Bling!

        Annette Dutton Chat : The Chevrolet Corvette has more power than most people would ever want. For those who aren’t satisfied with the 430 horsepower found under the base Corvette’s long, shapely hood, though, the truly decadent 505-hp Corvette Z06 steps it up a big notch to become one of the most capable and quick sports cars on the planet. Still want more? In 2009, the Corvette ZR1 returns as the new so-called King of the Hill, with 638 horsepower and a $100,000 price tag.
