My fellow workers here at MCN think the Victory Vegas 8-Ball that I've got on long-term-test is only good for slow cruising and showing off so I thought I'd prove them wrong by piling on some serious miles.
Check out the video below to see how the Vegas coped with a ride from Peterborough to the Isle of Sky in one day.

Rather than shoehorning a 5.0-liter V8 into the nose of an IS 350 and simply calling it the IS 500, Lexus has instead cooked up a far more dedicated sport sedan with its new 2008 Lexus IS-F.

You might have thought, as we did, that the world's most perfect, tidy, eminently usable folding soft top didn't need to be replaced by a power-operated folding hardtop. Particularly in a simple, elemental car like the Mazda MX-5 Miata, the inevitable added weight and complexity could dull its reflexes and blur its focus.
Don't worry.

It's not an easy thing to get people interested in practicality, but the 2007 Kia Rondo does its best. The Rondo has all the right numbers that add up to something we can all recognize as practical goodness: the whole matrix of five-door hatchback, seven-passenger capacity, V6 power and a price under $25,000.

When you first jump in and turn the key ? no doubt still smitten with its looks ? the Sky seems to be just fine. It makes a grumbling exhaust note. It's rear-wheel drive. The 2.4-liter Ecotec DOHC inline-4 revs pretty high and pushes pretty quick. Above all, everyone seems to be looking at you, which makes up for a lot in Southern California.
