SAPPHIRE VS. PLAID

Drawing Lines in the Sand • Even more than its far-distant cousin the VW Beetle, the Porsche 911 makes one helluva dune buggy.

Breaking the Minivan Mold • With newfound refinement and off-road chops, the redesigned Pilot buries its minivan roots and becomes a more desirable mid-size SUV.

Playing Catch-Up • Highs: Sharp new duds, quicker than before, tows up to 6000 pounds. Lows: Tight third row, firm ride on 20-inch wheels, not far enough removed from its Nissan counterpart.

Too Much of a Good Thing • Highs: Crushing top-end acceleration, awesome on the track, grip for days. Lows: Intolerable seats, tiresome on-road ride, steering has mind of its own.

PRINCE OF THREES
