Here's a sneak peak at the newest ad about to air for the Saturn Aura. I'm getting a Brady Bunch feeling from the beat and there is a little bit of a trippy eco-friendly twist to the ad. If only we could fill our tank for half of what the Brady's spent to fill their wagon, back in the day.

I'm seeing the return of sedan popularity with this ad. However for a family with four kids, such as mine, this vehicle is not an option.

The Toyota Highlander Hybrid wins high marks in this test of 8 crossovers that have seating for seven or more. I think it's hard to compare a $55,000 Mercedes GL-Class to a RAV4 -- but it is nice to see a comparison of 3-rowers with Fuel Economy being the primary factor.
