Classic Cadillac GMC

The all-new 2010 Cadillac SRX is the latest arrival in a huge, crowded market of crossover SUVs. It's priced $3500 less than the segment-leading Lexus RX 350, with about the same power, performance and fuel economy. It's a tidier design with less room inside, and its chassis is a marvel of competence and composure and a paragon when you're counting up safety features. We think the SRX is worth a long look from those who are looking to downsize and economize.

The Lexus RX is smooth and comfortable, and it's flexible when it comes to hauling people or cargo. It's finished with style and built like the proverbial Swiss watch, and it offers all the latest features.

The Toyota Camry is the ultimate transportation appliance. It's a safe buy, a good vehicle to recommend to your friends. It pleases many buyers by offending none. It is in many ways an unremarkable car. But it is remarkable for its lack of identifiable flaws. It does not have the sporty personality of a Nissan Altima, but it's much more refined. It will transport its occupants from A to B and back without drama, or any worries about reliability, year in and year out. It's comfortable, smooth and quiet. Its controls are easy to operate. You never have to try to figure out how to work something.

The Chevy Silverado needs no introduction. If you're in the market for a full-size pickup you know what it is and what you can expect it to do. It is among the smoothest riding and quietest of all full-size pickups, and can be counted on to get the job done.

The Toyota Sienna is comfortable and easy and does everything well. It's big and roomy and packed with features that make life easier and more convenient. Its power sliding doors and power rear liftgate work superbly well and a rear-view camera is available to help spot trouble behind. There's more cargo space here than in the Sequoia full-size sport-utility, yet the Sienna costs $10,000 less.

The Honda Odyssey might be the best minivan on the market. It's one of the most enjoyable to drive and lives up to Honda's reputation for refinement, convenience, and great fit and finish. Its flexible seating system can accommodate up to eight passengers and it has plenty of room. In short, it's a good choice for families.

Dealer retains all incentives

The Chevrolet Equinox is sized like a midsize and priced like a compact. Equinox offers useful interior space for people and cargo, as well as class-leading fuel economy. It looks good, has a smooth, comfortable ride, and now handles much better than its predecessor. Small families looking to downsize from a large, inefficient SUV will find the Equinox a good value. Completely redesigned for 2010, today's Equinox is a vast improvement over the first-generation models.

The Pontiac G6 is a roomy car that offers good road manners and excellent overall function, especially at initial prices. With sedans, coupes, convertibles, high-performance models, and a low-price leader all available, buyers should be able to find a G6 that suits their lifestyle.

The GMC Envoy is an excellent choice among midsize sport utilities. Envoy is well-engineered and enjoyable to drive, stable and responsive with good brakes and a superb inline six-cylinder engine.
