With a Corvette engine
spitting fire under its
hood, the new Camaro
boasts sports car speed
and muscle car looks
and devours corners and
straights with gusto.
I GREW UP DRIVING STICK, BUT I
APPRECIATE AUTOMATIC. I HAVE AN AUDI S7.
IT’S SO SMOOTH YOU DON’T REALIZE
YOUR SPEED. I CRUISE. I’M NOT THE FAST
AND FURIOUS TYPE...ON PURPOSE.

Lexus IS 350 F
Sport
BEST FOR
City racers
This diminutive “sport
sedan” boasts Lexus
build quality and comfort
and has every imagin-
able safety feature. That’s
a good thing, because
its 6-cylinder, 306 hp
engine could make it a
rolling crime scene in
less than 6 seconds.
