Hands-On: The 2010 Toyota 4Runner
Toyota isn't going to let fluctuating gas prices and a growing general consensus against anything and everything SUV-related stop them from introducing an entirely new 4Runner. And its not like they made it smaller or more taut either, the 2010 4Runner is a much bigger brute than the previous generation and its presence was very much felt when we were handed the keys to one last week. More from our review after the jump.

Land Rover LRX
Its safe to say that the Land Rover lineup has been a little stale since the introduction of the Range Rover Sport. That should all change soon with the 2011 introduction of the tentatively-named LRX, a two-door Range Rover based on the much talked about LRX Concept. Link / Source

2010 Toyota 4Runner
Toyota's popular mid-size 4Runner SUV is getting a redesign for the 2010 model year that trades in the awkward curves of the previous design for a much more rugged look that's stouter and aggressive. Engine choices include a 161 hp four-cylinder or a 268 horsepower V6. Link / Source

Off Roadin' with Toyota
Its not everyday Toyota hands you the keys to a fleet of Trucks and SUVs to toy with on the off road playground that is the Cleveland National Forrest. We got a chance to put a few FJ Cruisers and Tacomas through their paces and after the experience we can see why the most loyal of American truck drivers are trading in their rusted Chevy and Ford belt buckles for a sparkly new piece of metal from the land of the rising sun.

2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee
The iconic Jeep Grand Cherokee is getting a much needed reboot for 2011 and while the car's signature shape is fully intact, the design is leaner, meaner, and all together a design worthy of the Cherokee badge. The car will be available in a 3.6 liter V6 model which is a flex-fuel engine putting out 260 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. The throaty HEMI 5.7 liter V8 will be capable of 360 horses and 390 lb-ft of torque. On the off-road end of things the Cherokee will be available Quadra Lift air suspension that gives the car up to 11.1 inches of ground clearance and Selec-Terrain which works in conjunction with the new 4x4 system that lets you optimize the car for different road conditions.

Audi Q5
Combining the nimble performance of their sport sedans with the utility of its larger brother, the Q7, the new Audi Q5 should prove to handle well on and off-road with sport-like handling and quattro all wheel drive. Under the hood you'll find a 265hp 3.2 V6 with direct injection coupled with a six speed Tiptronic transmission. Audi also offers an extensive list options including keyless entry and start, Bluetooth connectivity, Rearview park assist, and a Bang & Olufsen 14 speaker sound system. More pics after the jump.
