This week, we talk up two cars that have received mild updates. One remains synonymous with the top of its class, and the other … not so much. Find out how the 2010 Mercedes-Benz S550 retains so much of what makes it a top luxury sedan and why the 2010 Dodge Caliber still has work to do to make a place for itself amongst tough competition.

Three German cars, three 2010 models, three Cars.com editors yapping away. Yep, that’s this week’s podcast. While these models have updated 2011s on the way to dealers, there are plenty of 2010s still on lots, and there are few changes for 2011. Find out how the base A5 impressed, how the base C-Class didn’t, and how the 750Li didn’t live up to the BMW propeller on the hood.

The compact crossover segment is extremely competitive. That leaves Mitsubishi’s Outlander the odd man out in many a conversation about the class.
