Krypton Green 2005 Lotus Elise in the first (and only) real snow in Louisville this year. Shots like this really make me want to get the car into a studio with some proper lighting.

2010 Toyota Sienna
The 2010 Toyota Sienna ranks 2 out of 7 Minivans. This ranking is based on our analysis of 28 published reviews and test drives of the Toyota Sienna, and our analysis of reliability and safety data. The Toyota Sienna is a comfortable, peppy minivan with plenty of space for the family. The base Sienna represents a great value, while its top-of-the-line Limited trim brings a luxury feel to the minivan segment.
The Sienna delivers one of the best combinations of acceleration, interior space and general quality in its class. Value hunters should take note of the base trim. Edmunds says, "Budget-minded shoppers will like the low-priced Sienna CE that has room for up to eight passengers. Those who can spend considerably more will appreciate how the Sienna Limited comes off like nothing less than a Lexus minivan."
The Sienna and its main rival, the Honda Odyssey, are generally considered to be the benchmarks of their class. However, the Sienna starts at about $2,000 less than the Odyssey. If you want an even better deal, consider the Kia Sedona. Reviewers like it just as much as they like the Sienna, but the Sedona costs about $2,000 less and has longer warranty coverage.
Buyers who are wary of the Sienna because of the recent recall of eight Toyota models should know that the Sienna was not one of the recalled models. However, it is unclear what the fallout from Toyota's sticking accelerator issue will mean for the long-term value of Toyota models.
The Toyota Sienna gets high marks from reviewers for its high-quality interior and performance that's easy to live with. Car and Driver says "the Sienna has Camry-like driving manners," and most reviewers agree. While there are a few complaints about the Sienna's size (it's one of the largest minivans available) there's no quibbling with its flexibility and long list of available features.
The All New BMW X1
BMW X1 is the latest compact SUV model from the house of BMW, which will be a value addition to the BMW's SUV lineup that currently comprises of BMW X3, BMW X5 and BMW X6 models. BMW's SUV/SAV models have been gaining growing popularity, but the X3, X5 and X6 models are comparatively larger in size and they were not able to cope up with the current market competition (as there are several smaller yet robust, powerful off-road SUVs on the offer).
The confirmation was made by BMW that the new X1 will hit the roads during the year 2011 and the company released some images of the new X1. North America will get only a 3 liter inline 6 engine same as that of the 328i x Drive sport wagon. The engine, which is naturally aspirated, will produce 231 bhp and has a torque of 199 lb-ft. It has an acceleration time of 6.7 seconds to speed up to 60 mph from a dead-stop.
Surprisingly, the company has not confirmed its plan regarding launch of the new X1 in the American markets, and are currently planning to launch it in the European market first.
Until now BMW has only unveiled the images of its latest compact sport utility dressed in the swirly camouflage.
The specs of the new X1 are also tentative as BMW is yet to give a confirmation on the same, while it has been officially confirmed that the 2010 X1 will hit the market this season for sure.

The 2010 Honda Odyssey Review
The 2010 Honda Odyssey is the best upscale handling minivan around. The 2010 model is largely unchanged from the 2009 but has more advanced features and a significant styling difference. The Odyssey has had such an impact on buyers that it displaces the Dodge Grand Caravan as America's best selling Minivan and has high ratings from Kelly Blue Book and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
The 2010 Odyssey is the ultimate car for the family! The Odyssey comes in the LX, the EX, the EX-L, and Touring models. This car definitely makes the appropriate accommodations for spacing on the inside as the second row bucket seats and third row seats fold flat into a cargo-storage area in the floor. Need even more room? Also as a space saver, there are removable jump seats that slot in-between the second row pockets for a passenger capacity of eight. The car has a lot of cool new features including leather upholstery, tri-zone climate control, a sunroof, XM® Radio, Honda DVD Rear Entertainment System, and a Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System™ also with voice recognition and a rearview camera ( for those hard to back into areas). The new Odyssey also has a Homelink® remote system, Bluetooth® capabilities, a rearview mirror with rearview camera display, and as stated before, one-motion 60/40 split third-row Magic Seat® with in-floor storage.
Honda also decided to upgrade the Odyssey under the hood with cool new features. The car has a 3.5 Liter SOHC VTEC® V-6 engine with a 5 speed automatic transmission that produces 244horsepower. This engine is standard across the board, along with a Drive-by-Wire™ throttle system. However, exclusive to the EX-L and Touring versions, the car comes with Honda's Variable Cylinder Management™ (VCM®), which increases fuel economy.
The most impressive of the 2010 Odyssey is by far its Safety features. These key features include, Vehicle Stability Assist with traction control, an Anti-lock braking system, Electronic Brake Distribution, and driver's/front passenger's active head restraints. The car also has a plethora of airbag safety systems like, the dual-stage multiple-threshold front airbags, front side airbags with passenger-side Occupant Position Detection System, and three-row side curtain airbags with rollover sensors. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration tested the cars frontal and side impact crash results and in conclusion gave the car 5-star frontal and side ratings.
Even Kelly Blue Book named the Odyssey as one of the ten best new family vehicles of 2009. Average pricing for the Odyssey are between $30,200 and $34,000.
