    After much anticipation, earlier this year BMW introduced to the United States its 128 series. It’s the German manufacturer’s reasonably priced coupe and convertible, and it couldn’t have been introduced at a better time. From my weekly drive with the 128i convertible and its 3.0-liter, 230-horsepower inline six-cylinder engine, the car is an unqualified success. Videographer Bruce Aldrich and I present another of in the continuing series of new car video reviews.

    The Weekly Driver video review: 2008 Honda Civic Hybrid. Here's a two-minute video review of the 2008 Honda Civic hybrid.  Commentator: James Raia, author of The Weekly Driver review; Videographer, Bruce Aldrich.

    The  2008 Audi A8 W12 is the German manufacturer's powerful top-of-the-line sedan. It nearly a small apartment considering the spaciousness, powerful sound system, rear-seat refrigerator and solar sunroof. Videographer Bruce Aldrich and I take a look and the luxurious  Audi.

    The Pontiac, G8 is the first full-size, rear-wheel drive sedan from Pontiac since the 1986 Bonneville. The G8 replaces the Bonneville, which ended production with its 2005 model and the Grand Prix, which will cease its tenure with the 2008 model. Pontiac also has a hopeful third market share responsibility for the G8, since it also replaces the V8-powered GTO coupe, which was discontinued in 2006. Videographer Bruce Aldrich and I take a look at the new power brokers from Pontiac.



    Since its debut a decade and a half ago, the Audi A4 has built a reputation as a versatile entry-level luxury car. It’s strong on design, with superb handling and personality.

    The Audi 4 offers a lot to different car buyers. Not many vehicles in the same class are offered as a sedan, convertible and wagon, and that’s another strong trait for the vehicle often credited with jettisoning Audi out of its sales slump and image problems in the late 1980s and early 1990s.



    The new SmartForTwo, the smallest car available in the United States, has started to appear in various part of the country. It's a wondrous revelation for new, small car enthusiasts.

    But the Smart's debut has nothing on the Tata Nano — or at least it won't. The world's least expensive car, which made its car show debut last January, will be available to the public this fall. It's debut video was dramatic and the vehicle was introduced by the company's chairman, Ratan Tata.


    A crossover is an automobile with a sports utility vehicle appearance but built upon a more economical and fuel-efficient unibody construction.

    But what is the Ford Edge — a mini mini-van, a newfangled wagon or a SUV?

    Videographer Bruce Aldrich and I take a look the Edge in our continuing series of 2008 video car reviews from www.theweeklydriver.com.

    Ford debuted a smaller, less expensive alternative to The Explorer, its vastly popular sports utility vehicle, in 2001. In North America, it was called The Escape and in Europe it was called The Maverick.

    The new compact SUV was developed in conjunction with Mazda, which in turn is owned in principle by Ford. Thus, the Escape, the Mazda Tribute and Ford's Mercury division SUV, the Mariner, are not surprisingly quite similar.

    It's happened to all of us. You're driving a rental car or a friend's car (or your own car) and you stop for gas. As you're getting close to the pumps you realize you don't know on which side of the car the gas cap is located.

    This video, which claims to showcase a sure-fire way to determine the proper side is a popular video on the site Metacafe.com. And now it's (hopefully) a popular video on the TheWeeklyDriver.com.
     

    The Mercedes Benz CLK63 AMG features a 6.2-liter V8 with a 481 horsepower, seven-speed automatic transmission. It's available in Coupé and Cabriolet.

    Compared to its predecessor the CLK63 has 31 percent more power and 23 percent more torque. The CLK63 is currently being used as the safety car in Formula One. It accelerates from 0-60 mph in 4.3 seconds.
