Glovebox Notes: New Car Reviews
 | 2010 Piaggio P180 Avanti II Jet Avanti II is the official aircraft of Scuderia Ferrari, and Piaggio’s Chairman is Piero Ferrari, son of Enzo. Turbo-prop configuration is fuel-efficient, and the entire Piaggio approach melds style ...[read more] Overall Experience: | Keith Martin |
 | 2010 Chevrolet Camaro 2SS coupe The new SS is everything that’s come to be expected in a modern muscle car, with a docile feel around town and blistering performance on demand. But while its shape is arguably better executed than ...[read more] Overall Experience: | Jim Pickering |
 | 2010 Acura TSX Tech V6 The best view of the TSX comes from inside, where excellent materials and a plush feel help to make up for polarizing exterior lines. The car just works, which is no surprise after all these years, an...[read more] Overall Experience: | SCM Staff |
