| Posted: 11 Sep 2014 04:40 PM PDT  The Ford Expedition is a full-size SUV with a mission in mind: to carry big families or to tow and haul their belongings in a way today's crossover vehicles simply can't. The Expedition is one of a small set of truly big utes; it competes with vehicles such as the Chevy Tahoe and Suburban, the GMC Yukon, the Nissan Armada, and the Toyota Sequoia... |
| Posted: 11 Sep 2014 04:37 PM PDT  The Kia Sedona is one of the handful of minivans still on sale in the U.S. It's also in the midst of a major model change--for the 2015 model year, the Sedona's being completely reworked, with a new sliding-seat system and a stiffer, safer body. The Sedona is built in South Korea and sold as the Carnival in other world markets. In the U.S., its... |
| Posted: 11 Sep 2014 04:37 PM PDT  The Kia K900 is the biggest, most expensive sedan the Korean automaker has yet offered in the U.S.--and its most luxurious offering to date, too. New for the 2015 model year, the K900 shares its architecture with the Hyundai Equus, though it comes with a six-cylinder base model that has no parallel over at Hyundai. A V-8 engine is an upgrade... |
| Posted: 11 Sep 2014 04:29 PM PDT  The Honda CR-V is a five-passenger, compact crossover utility vehicle--and one of the top sellers in its niche. Powered by a four-cylinder engine alone, the current CR-V has good crash-test scores and reliability, making it a formidable rival for vehicles like the Ford Escape, Toyota RAV4, Nissan Rogue, and Chevy Equinox. Adapted from the same... |
| Posted: 11 Sep 2014 04:28 PM PDT  The Toyota Venza is an unusual piece--it's part crossover, part hatchback, part wagon. The mid-size, five-door hatchback Venza is roomy and functional, while providing a car-like ride and fuel efficiency. The Venza's rivals include vehicles like the Audi Allroad and Ford Edge, as well as the Subaru Outback and Jeep Cherokee. MORE: Read our 2015... |
| Posted: 11 Sep 2014 04:25 PM PDT  The Toyota 4Runner is a mid-size SUV that is spun off from some of the same running gear that underpins the Tacoma mid-size pickup truck. That makes it a true sport-utility vehicle, as opposed to a car-based crossover. Like you'd ever mistake it for a family wagon: the 4Runner's brutish style and rugged off-road gear make no bones about what... |
| Posted: 11 Sep 2014 04:19 PM PDT  The Toyota Land Cruiser is the biggest, most luxurious, and most rugged sport-utility vehicle Toyota sells today. As one of their longest-running nameplates, the Land Cruiser is in a class with other globally known SUVs, like the Range Rover and the Mercedes-Benz G-Class. While the plus-sized Land Cruiser that's sold in the U.S. is no longer the... |
| Posted: 11 Sep 2014 03:58 PM PDT  The Toyota Tacoma is one of relatively few compact or mid-size pickup trucks still produced. It currently competes with the Nissan Frontier, as well as the new Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon, although its rival set in the past has included the Ford Ranger and Dodge Dakota, among many others. The Tacoma is one of very few remaining mid-size trucks... |
| Posted: 11 Sep 2014 02:43 PM PDT  The Prius is no longer a single model; it's a lineup of compact and subcompact cars, each with a slightly different purpose. Among them, the Toyota Prius C is the smallest and least expensive. It's also the most affordable hybrid that Toyota sells, and it returns about the same fuel economy—50 mpg combined—as the larger and pricier... |
| 2014 Toyota Tundra Recalled For Airbag Flaw Posted: 11 Sep 2014 02:06 PM PDT  Toyota is recalling select 2014 models of its Tundra pickup. According to Detroit News, those vehicles may suffer from a manufacturing flaw that could prevent airbags from protecting passengers in the event of an accident. Specifically, Toyota says that a component on the Tundra's center pillar may have been improperly installed. As a result, the... |
| Posted: 11 Sep 2014 09:10 AM PDT  The Nissan GT-R is an unusual thing in the super-performance car world: a relative value. Using its twin-turbocharged, all-wheel-drive powertrain and advanced electronics, it delivers performance on par with supercars costing as much as three times its price or more. Its design, though familiar after more than five years on the market, remains a... |
| Posted: 11 Sep 2014 09:07 AM PDT  Available in both coupe and convertible forms, the Nissan 370Z is a rear-drive sports car that traces its origins back to the 1969 Datsun 240Z. Providing a range of sportiness at a relative value, the Nissan 370Z is matched by few other cars on the market. See our 2015 Nissan 370Z review for pricing with options, specifications, and gas mileage... |
| Too-Tough Franchise Laws May Have Doomed Texas' Bid For Tesla Gigafactory Posted: 11 Sep 2014 08:34 AM PDT  As we reported last week, Tesla is heading to Nevada. It's not going for the gambling or the scenery or the other entertainments on tap, but for the land -- specifically, the land at 2641 Portofino Drive, located at the Tahoe-Reno Industrial Center. That's where Tesla is building its lithium-ion battery manufacturing plant, better known as the... |
| Posted: 11 Sep 2014 08:09 AM PDT  The Chevrolet Malibu is a mid-size sedan in its current iteration--though the nameplate has been in the GM stable since the 1960s. Today's Malibu is a front-driver with options for turbocharging, manual shifting, and touchscreen-controlling. It's a rival for some of the most successful vehicles on the market today--vehicles including the Toyota... |
| Fiat 500e, Audi Autonomous Tech, New Batmobile: What’s New @ The Car Connection Posted: 11 Sep 2014 07:30 AM PDT  From The Car Connection: Six Reasons Why The Fiat 500e Electric Car Beats The Abarth The Fiat 500e is a rare sight in most parts of the U.S., and as a 'compliance car,' only offered in California and Oregon and aimed to satisfy the framework of fuel-efficiency rules, it's not a viable option for many American small-car shoppers. Right On Cue, Audi... |
