Roadfly.com - 2011 Mercedes GLK 350 Test Drive & Review
Host Emme Hall reviewed the 2011 Mercedes-Benz GLK 350. This is a luxury ute in the same class as the BMW X3, Audi Q5, and Acura RDX.
The GLK wins points for its clean design inside and out and its bag of luxury features, as well as its great on-road handling.
It loses a few points for a typically German sticker price, and less cargo room than competitors like the X3.
Check out Emme's review for the usual array of laundry-basket ratings and zany remarks!

Roadfly.com - 2011 Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart Road Test & Review
The Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart is the latest addition to the Lancer family. The Ralliart is powered by a new 2.0-liter DOHC MIVEC intercooled and turbocharged engine that delivers an estimated 237 horsepower, 253 lb-ft of torque.
For 2010 the Lancer comes in three trim levels. The regular base Lancer sedan, the Ralliart and the Evolution X. The Ralliart has a few visual and performance features which make it a lot of fun to drive. The Lancer is most often compared to the Subaru WRX or STI and the Volkswagen GTI.
The Lancer Ralliart's full-time 4WD (all wheel drive) driveline features Mitsubishi's Active Center Differential (ACD). The ACD unit employs an electronically controlled multi-plate clutch center differential, vectoring torque to the front and rear wheels according to different driving conditions.
EPA figures are: 19 mpg city / 25 mpg hwy

Roadfly.com - 2011 Acura TSX Sport Wagon
Acura unveiled the new 2011 Acura TSX Sport Wagon. The TSX offered a lot of versatility but adding a wagon variant is good thinking. People want vehicles with a smaller carbon footprint than an SUV but with equal cargo carrying capacity. The TSX Sport Wagon fits the bill.

New MINI Countryman - Day & Night driving + beauty in HD
MINI is adding a fourth model to its range with the MINI Countryman, which bridges the gap between the classic concept of the MINI and a modern Sports Activity Vehicle. As the first model in the MINI range with four doors and a wide-opening rear lid, the MINI Countryman, which comes as standard with four seats, provides more space versatility as well as a slightly elevated seating position. The MINI Countryman is entering the market with a choice of three gas and two diesel engines. The power range extends from 66 kW/90 hp in the MINI One D Countryman to 135 kW/184 hp in the MINI Cooper S Countryman. The 1.6-litre four-cylinder petrol engine in the top model comes for the first time not only with a twin-scroll turbocharger and direct fuel injection, but also with fully variable valve management.
MINI Cooper Countryman S HD Video Review
http://drivencarreviews.com/ It's not an April Fool's Day joke, MINI has a new crossover, the Countryman. It's the first MINI with four-doors, four comfortable seating positions and the option of all four wheels getting power. Maybe they should have called it Fourman... Tom Voelk drives a front-wheel drive S model.

The Countryman is the first four-door MINI and aims to offer increased practicality without diluting any of the fun associated with the MINI brand. Overall it's a great success, with fantastic handling and a well appointed and luxurious cabin
