        Annette Dutton Bratcher News : With their generous side bolsters and adjustable under-thigh support, the sport seats in our X6 easily accommodated a wide range of drivers (as well as front passengers). Strangely, there is no lumbar adjustment, a sin at this price point. If you want that feature, you'll need to spring for the optional multicontour seats, which have power adjustments for the side wings, the upper back and the lumbar regions. A few staffers taller than 6 feet appreciated the pads on the console sides, which prevented their long legs from banging into the attractive but hard wood trim.


        Annette Dutton Info : 2008 Dodge Viper SRT10 coupe punches out of corners with a feral roar and tracks through fast sweepers with wind-generated stability, race-car-rigid body control, and sticky-rubber grip. StopTech hybrid aluminum-and-iron brakes squish organs against rib cages when fully summoned. But the best thing about the ACR is that no sub-Schumacher mortal can tame it in 10 laps. It’s a toy that will be played with for many, many hours before boredom sets in.

        Dutton Bratcher : A four-speed automatic transmission is bolted to the four-cylinder engine. A six-speed accompanies the six and has a top gear tall enough to keep the tachometer at just 2000 rpm at 70 mph - about 500 rpm slower than most vehicles. That's good for fuel economy but it also means more downshifting to accelerate or maintain speed up a long hill.
