Photo gallery:Zvox Z-Base 575Sound bars feel like they've been around forever now, but they're still a relatively new product; consider that the groundbreaking Yamaha YSP-1 debuted back at CES 2005.

Sonim XP3 Quest (unlocked)

Photo gallery:Sonim XP3 QuestThe Sonim XP3 Quest is the update to the Sonim XP1 that we reviewed last year. If you thought the XP1 was strong--and believe us when we say that it was--the XP3 goes a step further by being completely waterproof like the G'zOne handsets. If that isn't...

2009 Mercedes-Benz SL550

Photo gallery:2009 Mercedes-Benz SL550Maybe we've been driving too many very nice cars lately, but the 2009 Mercedes-Benz SL550 didn't excite us much when it arrived in the garage. It's hard to follow acts like the Maserati GranTurismo and the BMW M6, and we tend to like shorter, more nimble sports...

2009 Jaguar XF

Photo gallery:2009 Jaguar XFOn first getting into the 2009 Jaguar XF, the car seems like the ultimate in automotive tech. A red backlight on the engine start button pulses with a heartbeat cadence. Push it, and panels over the air vents open up while the shift dial rises from the...

2008 Mercedes-Benz CLK550 Cabriolet

Photo gallery:2008 Mercedes-Benz CLK550 CabrioletThe vast model lineup from Mercedes-Benz ensures that one of its cars will suit just about anyone's needs, but the 2008 Mercedes-Benz CLK550 Cabriolet fits a very narrow niche. The CLK550 is a coupe, offered as a convertible or hardtop. With the convertible version, which we...

2007 Lincoln MKX

Photo gallery:2007 Lincoln MKXThe 2007 Lincoln MKX brings in all the luxury qualities we would expect from this make, but despite the fact that it's a crossover, the MKX won't edge Lincoln into any kind of youth demographic. The MKX has stately lines and a big chrome grille with the...

2007 Mercedes-Benz ML320 CDI

Photo gallery:2007 Mercedes-Benz ML320 CDIWe associate Mercedes-Benz with big, luxury cars, but the 2007 Mercedes-Benz ML320 CDI breaks through that image with its diesel engine and serious off-road gear. We don't know who would thrash a $60,000 car over boulder-strewn rutted dirt roads, but Mercedes-Benz insists the car can handle...

2007 Acura RL

Photo gallery:2007 Acura RLThe 2007 Acura RL occupies an odd place among its competitors. As the top of Acura's model line-up, it should be the best the brand has to offer. But the cabin isn't particularly luxurious, the body style unremarkable, and the performance mediocre. However, it comes loaded with...
