Views: 3,442
( www.TFLcar.com ) The 2012 Scion IQ is perhaps the most uniquely packaged car that is sold in America. It is of course tiny and yet is can seat 4 adults in a pinch. That's because Toyota used some very clever architecture when it designed the car. But that's not all that makes the Scion IQ unique. Check out this video and Nathan and Roman test and review the diminutive city car and put it to the TFLcar pooch test to see if it will also suit man's best friend.

( www.TFLcar.com ) The 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 is the fastest and most powerful vehicle that Jeep has ever built. With a massive HEMI engine that produces 470 HP and 465 lb-ft of torque. At Sea Level it will easily accelerate from 0-60 MPH in under 5 seconds. But when we tested the car at about one mile above sea level in Denver we got a 0-60 MPH time of 6.1 seconds. To find out why there's such a significant difference between the two times we put the new Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 on a Dyno and did a Dyno test to determine the real horsepower at all for wheels. Check out this video to find out why car are so much slower at high altitudes than at sea level.

( www.TFLcar.com ) The 2012 Suzuki Kizashi Sport GTS AWD competes with other Japanese family cars like the Nissan Altima, Toyota Camry and Honda Accord. But unlike those cars you'll be hard pressed to see a Kizashi on the road. It certainly isn't one of the Top Ten Best selling family cars in the USA And that's a shame because the Kizashi has a lot to offer including all-wheel-drive, a world class interior and a sporty and lively character as you'll see in this 2012 Suzuki Kizashi Sport GTS AWD Review.

( www.TFLcar.com ) The 2012 Suzuki Grand Vitara Ultimate Adventure is small off-road worthy SUV that's been around for a long time. For 2012 it can only be purchased with a 2.4L 4-cylinder engine that puts out 166 horsepower. Gone is the large 6-cylinder engine. Unlike many modern competitors the Suzuki Grand Vitara is still based on a more rugged truck like frame so it should be good when the going gets tough, rocky and steep. We decided to find out if that was true so we got the 2012 Suzuki Grand Vitara very muddy on a short Colorado Rocky Mountain off0road Ultimate Adventure in this first drive review.

2012 KIA Sorento AWD OffRoad Drive Review

( www.TFLcar.com ) The 2012 KIA Sorento AWD will most likely spend more time in the supermarket parking lot than tackling the muddy road less traveled. That's a shame because the 2012 KIA Sorento with All-Wheel-Drive is a very capable off-road ride with hill decent control and even a locking center differential. So instead of taking the Sorento on the paved road more traveled we decided to see how the Sorento does when in the muddy Colorado Mountains in this off-road review.

( www.TFLcar.com ) The 2012 Jeep MIghty J-12 Concept looks like the 1960s-era Jeep J-series Gladiator pick-up truck mashup with the new JK-8 Independence pickup conversion kit. In fact, that's a pretty good description of the concept Jeep that Nathan drove at this year's 2012 Easter Jeep Safari. The Jeep engineers decided to build a very retro Gladiator like truck on a modern four door Wrangler. To make it a bit extra special they added a very retro interior bench seat and lengthened the bed of the pick-up to 6 feet to be able to locate a spare tire under the bed...old school style. Plus they also rounded up some 1960s tires and Wheels making the Mighty J-12 the only Jeep in Moab this year to sport a set of stylish hub caps.

2012 Buick Verano Drive and Review

Views: 1,945
( www.TFLcar.com ) The 2012 Buick Verano is based in large part on the European Opel Astra. But if you were to look at the two cars side-by-side you'd have a hard time telling that they are cousins...perhaps distant cousins. The American Verano gets a large dose of Buick's newest DNA to keep a strong family resemblance to the Regal and LaCrosse...both inside and out. The Verano's 2.4-liter Ecotec engine cranks out a humble 180 horsepower which is better for economy than performance getting over 30 MPG on the Highway. The Verano drives like a quiet German sedan and that's because under the skin it really is a quest sedan. While you can take the Astra out of Germany...you can't take the distinctly Germanic ride and handling out of the Verano. Check out this video as Dave reviews the 2012 Buick Verano

Not only is it made by the company that owns Ferrari, but it perhaps more importantly it has that exotic super car exhaust note that will send a shiver down the spine of any sports car lover.
