The 2010 Ford Taurus looks nothing like the egg that set the world on fire in the late '80s, and in my opinion is one of the best-looking cars on the road -- inside and out. In fact, I would bet that few non-auto buffs would guess it is a Ford, albeit the top-of-the- line now.

Will Americans buy wagons? History says no. And by history I mean after 1980. Sure, Subaru sells wagons quite successfully to some outdoorsy types on the coasts. You also see the occasionall BMW lover in a 3-series wagon. But the jury has been in for years. Americans would rather have a crossover suv of some kind. It’s easy to understand why.

Sleek, sexy, and slim, the Sony VAIO X Series is the perfect netbook for the stylish, executive jet-setter. While this machine is smaller than most netbooks and measures just 0.55 inch thick, it packs a bit more gusto--and, starting at $1299 (our unit sells for $1499, as of 11/10/09), it carries an over-the-top price tag that screams, "CEO only!" I quickly fell for the golden, brushed-aluminum...
