The 2010 Subaru WRX's are still basically Imprezas, but are marketed as a different car. Power stays at 265hp for 2010. The hot rod of Subaru's line, WRX is available in Base, Premium or fire breathing 305hp (5 door) STI with Brembo brakes. All WRX are equipped with 5 speed manual gearboxes. Still not the all-out rally racer for the street that it used to be, it remains about the quickest in its class. WRX 4 door pricing remains at $24,995.

The Mercury Sable also ditched the CVT (constantly variable transmission) in favor of a 6 speed automatic transmission for 2008. Having added the AWD option to the base model, prices for the AWD Sable start several thousand dollars lower than last year's Premium only variant, at $25,390

All Mazda CX-7 versions are powered by a 244-hp 2.3L DISI turbo engine . Like the Mazdaspeed6, the Touring and Grand Touring versions add interior and some incidental exterior upgrades to the base Sport model. However, the CX-7 is only available with a 6 speed automatic transmission. Prices for the CX-7 Sport AWD remain at $25,450

The AWD 2009 Dodge Journey is available in 2 trim levels; SXT, and RT. The base version, the SE, is not available with an AWD option. The Journey rides on a stretched version of the Dodge Avenger/ Chrysler Sebring platform. The AWD optioned version is powered by a 3.5-liter, 235-hp V6 with a six-speed auto. On-demand all-wheel drive (AWD) with an Electronically Controlled Coupling (ECC) sends torque to rear wheels to make the car turn more easily and can provide minimal torque to rear wheels under normal driving conditions, providing better fuel economy. There are no significant mechanical differences between the SXT and the RT, only interior appointments Stick to the SXT w/AWD, whose prices start at $26,170

Saturn's 2009 Vue; a 5 passenger compact SUV, comes in 3 AWD variants. The base is the XE, and is powered by a 222hp 3.5L cast iron V6 with a 6-speed automatic transmission. It's XR and Red Line versions get a a bigger 257 hp 3.6 liter aluminum DOHC V6. Credit GM with making Vue a different vehicle out of Saturn's Theta based SUV than its Chevy Equinox and Pontiac Torrent brothers. it has a 6 inche shorter wheelbase than those, and so if your needs run towards nimbleness in an urban environment, this may be the better choice. With its shorter wheelbase, Vue tips the scales at 4,084 lbs with the 3.5 V6 and AWD, and that's almost 900lbs less than it big brother; the Outlook. The baseline Vue XE with AWD starts at $25,955

The 2009 Chevrolet Equinox rolls into 2009 with minimal revisions. The compact, 5 passenger SUV is powered by a 185 hp 3.4L V6 with a 5-speed automatic, electronically controlled transmission. It is available in 4 trim levels; LS, LT, LTZ and Sport. All are capable of AWD options, with the Sport model upping the ante with a 264 hp 3.6 liter V6 and an electronically controlled 6 speed automatic. Equinox will get a mid year makeover, and the 2010 version is likely to be available in April. Chevy is betting the farm that most buyers will opt for the special gas sipper 4 cylinder version. The base LS with AWD is priced at $26,310

Pontiac's 2009 Torrent; a 5 passenger compact SUV, comes in 2 AWD variants. The base and the GXP. Torrent sports the traditional Pontiac grille configuration which sets it apart a bit from the Vue and the Equinox. Like its Equinox brother, Torrent's base power comes from the 185 hp 3.4 liter V6 connected to the 5 speed tranny. . The GXP gets the 264hp 3.6 engine and the 6 speed. Again, I find no mention of climate control or air conditioning on the Torrent pages or movies Not even on the Torrent specifications .pdf. I can't even find a way to add it to my Torrent on the "build" section. I guess its not important up near Canada... AHA! I found that A/C is standard only by accessing the GM media website, which I did because I couldn't find a decent list of standard features... The baselineTorrent with AWD starts about $900 higher than the Saturn Vue at $26,815
