Built on the same platform as its predecessor and riding on the same 119.3-inch wheelbase, the new Sienna is marginally wider but nearly an inch shorter overall. Exterior styling is all-new and far less anonymous than before; we might even go so far as to call it attractive. The shape is especially slippery, too; Toyota claims a low 0.31coefficient of drag. The newfound style continues inside, where sweeping lines look more interesting and modern than the upright and conservative design of the previous Sienna. Interior plastics are pleasing to the eye, but touching them reveals a hard and slightly cheap-feeling texture.

The new CL-Class comes in CL550 4Matic, CL600 and CL63 AMG models. The CL550 is now powered by a new 4.7-liter bi-turbo V8 engine that makes 529 horsepower. The 2011 Mercedes-Benz CL63 AMG gets a new 5.5-liter bi-turbo V8 that makes 536 horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque. The flagship CL600 includes a 510-hp V12 that makes 612 lb-ft of torque and can blast the CL to 60 mph in just 4.5 seconds. The very exclusive CL65 AMG includes a 621-hp version of the V12.

There are now four different engines offered on the F-150: a 302-hp, 3.7-liter V6; a 360-hp, 5.0-liter; a 411-hp, 6.2-liter V8; and a 365-hp, 3.5-liter turbocharged V6. All four come hooked only to a 6-speed automatic transmission with tow/haul mode and they can be had with either rear- or 4-wheel drive. There are also several cab lengths, and Regular, SuperCab and SuperCrew cab styles. The latter of the four engines-the EcoBoost turbo V6-is the star of the lineup-- it produces V8 levels of power, but with V6 fuel efficiency. Peak torque for the EcoBoost V6 is 420 pound-feet that starts as low as 1,700 rpm and models with this engine are rated at a best-in-class 11,300 pounds and a best-in-class payload of 3,060. What's more, this engine, which Ford will be promoting as an alternative to step-up V8 models from competitors, runs just fine on regular unleaded gas.
