2010 Mercedes-Benz S400 Hybrid Review
It'sprobably best to call the new Mercedes-Benz S400 BlueHybrid a mild,rather than full, hybrid, because it can't propel itself on electricalpower alone. In other words, the BlueHybrid is not powered by thetwo-mode system co-developed with GM for big SUVs, which will be anoption for the M-Class next year. This is a smaller, cheaper systemdesigned to be scaleable across all Mercedes car lines. Despite itscomparative simplicity, the S400 BlueHybrid's gasoline and CO2 savingsare significant: some 21% in the European test cycle, compared with theregular V-6 S350. It's also quieter at rest and more muscular inreal-world acceleration. There's very little penalty over the standardV-6 in terms of weight -- just 170 lb -- and none at all in passengeror luggage accommodation or payload.

Walkaround
2010 Mercedes Benz S400 BluehybridRear View Click to view Gallery Of course you can't buy a regularEuro-spec S350 in the U.S., so let's do the numbers against a V-8 S550.The BlueHybrid goes 47% farther on a gallon than the S550 on the Eurotest cycle, but its performance figures aren't so far off -- aboutseven sec 0-to-60 instead of 5.4. That's why they called it S400:because it feels like a four-liter engine. The BlueHybrid's electricmotor effectively does duty as the gas engine's flywheel, turning atcrank speed all the time. It offers 118 lb-ft of torque at zero revs,but because its torque falls with revs, it only contributes an extra 20hp to the total by the time the gas engine is in its stride. Comparedwith the standard V-6, this extra torque makes it feel slightly morelike the V-8 at lower revs: a strong but lazy roll-on to the throttlewithout so many hectic downshifts. 2010 Mercedes Benz S400 BluehybridSide View Click to view Gallery The point, throughout this engineeringjob, was to make the hybrid feel like the regular car, except in theissue of tank range. In fact, the V-6 has new cam timing and cylinderheads. It runs, like a Prius, on the Atkinson cycle. This delays inletvalve closing, reducing effective compression.

Summary
It gives the enginegreat efficiency but over a fairly narrow rev range. In other parts ofthe rpm spectrum, the electric motor fills in the torque deficit. Thetransmission is reprogrammed to suit, aiming to keep the engine whereit's happiest. The electronics keep a constant eye on battery state ofcharge, and if it's near 100%, then the electric motor is deployedfully while the engine is throttled back. If you've just ascended along steep hill and the battery is low, then more of the overall powerwill be coming from the engine.

2010 Jaguar XJ
Jaguar has redesigned its flagshipsedan, the XJ, for the 2010 model year, giving it exterior and interiordesign in the style of the XF sedan, along with the new enginesintroduced for the 2010 XF. The XJ competes in the full-size luxuryclass along with the Audi A8, BMW 7 Series, Lexus LS 460 andMercedes-Benz S-Class. Jaguar has finally given tradition a rest,abandoning the classic four-headlight front-end design that dates backdecades and that had long appeared unchanged to the untrained eyedespite a complete redesign in 2004. The 2010's nose is a more balancedexecution of the XF's prominent mesh grille and sculpted headlightclusters. The hood is dramatically domed and creased, an apparent trendacross the market. Viewed from the rear, the XJ would beindistinguishable as a Jaguar were it not for the large and perfectlycentered chrome "leaper" emblem. The taillights look like someonegrabbed a Bentley by the tail and stretched it vertically. The carlooks coupe-like in profile, with a gradually sloping roofline, highrear deck and high beltline. It's more Mercedes CLS than 2009 XJ. Anotable feature is the blacked-out C-pillars (the pillars that flankthe rear window). They give a floating-roof look that's drawn mixedreviews.

Options
The interior also gotthe full XF treatment, with a more modern design, piano-black andchrome surfaces, the JaguarDrive gear selector that motors up from thecenter console, and virtual gauges on a 12.3-inch display. Though thetech is high, the gauges still appear as classic analog, thoughdifferent instruments can be emphasized based on conditions. It's a mixof old and new, which the interior as a whole attempts to accomplishwith familiar rich leather, as well as wood trim that runs in acontinuous line from the door panels across the top of the dashboard.Jaguar emphasizes the feeling of light and space inside thanks to astandard panoramic glass roof. The long-wheelbase XJL offers 5 moreinches of backseat legroom. The XJ and XJL come with a standard5.0-liter V-8 rated at 385 horsepower. The supercharged version of this5.0-liter engine makes 470 hp in the Supercharged trim level and 510 hpin the Supersport. Jaguar's claimed zero-to-60 mph times are 5.4, 4.9and 4.7 seconds, respectively. Though it shares its newdirect-injection power plants and six-speed automatic transmission withthe XF, Jaguar says the larger XJ's swift sprints come courtesy of asimilar aerodynamic drag coefficient and lightweight aluminumconstruction. The XJ also includes an air-spring suspension andautomatically controlled shock absorbers that vary firmness asconditions dictate.

Summary
The 2010 XJcomes in four models: XJ, XJL (long wheelbase), Supercharged andSupersport. Supersport models are available by special order only.

2010 Toyota 4Runner Review
Toyota has revealed the new, fifth generation, of their popular mid-sized truck-based SUV Toyota 4Runner. In 2010 it has a new design with more aggressive look, better fuel-economy and more power.

Walkaround
The 2010 Toyota 4Runner is taller, wider and longer than its predecessor. It has optional third row of seats and should be available in three trims: the top Limited model, the mid-level model SR5 and the Trail version for those who wants best off-road capabilities. It will be available in a rear wheel 42, part-time 44 and full-time multi-mode 44 configurations. All 2010 Toyota 4Runner 44 models are equipped with a 4 liter 270-hp V6 engine and a 5-speed ECT-i automatic transmission. The 42 models are equipped with a 2.7 liter 157 HP 4-cylinder engine mated to a 4-speed ECT automatic or the 4.0 liter V6 with the 5-speed ECT-i automatic.

Summary
Toyotas Crawl Control (CRAWL) is one of features available in the Trail trim. That is an adjustable electro-mechanical system that can be tuned to match the terrain by selecting any of five speed levels. This trim also features a Multi-Terrain Select system which allows the 44 operator to dial in wheel slip control to match the terrain.
