You guys and gals have been listening to me talk about our long-term Honda Insight Hybrid for quite a while now, so I decided it was high time to bring you a second opinion. Basem Wasef is About.com's Guide to Motorcycles, but he also writes car reviews (including our test drive of the Lamborghini Reventon). Basem took custody of the Insight for a few days of in-town driving and a road trip up to central California. Check out his take on our long-term 2010 Honda Insight. -- Aaron Gold

Happy new year, everyone! 2009 will go down in history as one of the worst years the car industry has seen in a long time, but I think things are going to start looking up in 2010. Automakers have introduced dozens of new and redesigned cars, and among them I've found several that really stood out -- an even dozen that I feel are worthy of my annual Best New Cars list. Have a look at this year's winners. Here's wishing a happy and health 2010 to you and yours! -- Aaron Gold

Before I explain the awesomeness in the photo above, let me apologize for the lack of activity on the blog these last couple of weeks -- I'm putting together the Best New Cars of 2010, which I plan to publish during the first week of January. And yesterday didn't help... which brings me to the photo. Read more...

When Hyundai rolled the 2011 Sonata onto the stage at the Los Angeles Auto Show, my first thought was, "Good-bye, Lexus ES350." Hyundai is taking the new Sonata in a very different direction from the current car -- and not just in terms of styling and luxury, but also mechanicals. Hyundai has stated that they believe the V6-powered mid-size sedan will soon be a thing of the past, and instead of a V6 as a step-up to the Sonata's base engine (a 198 hp 2.4 liter four-cylinder), Hyundai will offer a turbocharged 2-liter four-cylinder -- a very similar engine lineup to the 2011 Buick Regal. (The idea that the V6 is nearing the end of its days has merits, although I'd be willing to bet the move is also a way to differentiate the slow-selling V6-powered Azera.) Take a closer look at the new Sonata in my 2011 Hyundai Sonata photo gallery. -- Aaron Gold
