| Posted: 13 Sep 2014 04:26 PM PDT  The Ford Explorer has evolved over the years, from mega-popular, rugged small utility vehicle, into a practical, spacious crossover with enough room for the entire family. It's become less truck-like in its current form, exchanging its trail-rated suspension for something a little more manageable for daily use. The current generation... |
| Posted: 13 Sep 2014 04:24 PM PDT  Engineered in Germany and built in South Carolina, the 2015 BMW X5 continues to be a benchmark for any company contemplating a new luxury mid-size SUV. The X5's off-road-ability may be outweighed by its superb on-road manners, but that's all on purpose--it's a luxury family wagon tailored for comfort, meant for gated-community garages... |
| Posted: 13 Sep 2014 04:22 PM PDT  The Alfa Romeo 4C is one of the more surprising new cars of 2015. A sports car with a carbon-fiber body, a mid-engine layout, two seats, a turbocharged four-cylinder and a dual-clutch gearbox, the 4C is as close to an exotic as you can get for about $55,000 base. Making perfect Italian sense, it's the car that's supposed to cue up... |
| Posted: 13 Sep 2014 04:13 PM PDT  The 2015 Honda Pilot is the latest in a line of Honda crossovers that sell very well, protect passengers exceptionally well, and over time, gain a reputation for durability. While we're not enamored of the current Pilot's proto-SUV look or its inexpensively finished dash, it still does what most Hondas do well--it drives smoothly, and... |
| Posted: 13 Sep 2014 10:35 AM PDT  The 2015 Volkswagen Beetle is a modern take on the far past, mixing the original Bug's design elements with a thoroughly up-to-date front-drive chassis. It has shed some of its cuteness in the current generation, but still carries the happy look of its ancestors. It may be more of a fashion accessory than a practical choice nowadays... |
| Posted: 13 Sep 2014 10:03 AM PDT  The Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is one of the best-selling full-size trucks on the market. The Silverado is available in a number of styles and trims that range from work trucks to the more luxurious options. As of its redesign for the 2014 model year, it's stronger, more efficient, and more luxurious than ever. It competes with trucks like its... |
| Posted: 13 Sep 2014 10:02 AM PDT  For more than thirty years, the Ford F-150 has been one of the best selling cars in the U.S. It’s a full-size pickup truck that can double as a workhorse or an adventure-seeking family’s daily driver. In the process, become a staple of American truck culture. And coming later this year, there's an all-new F-150 that turns to aluminum... |
| Posted: 13 Sep 2014 09:59 AM PDT  The mid-size Toyota Camry four-door sedan is the best-selling passenger car in the U.S. market. It's become known for reliability, a comfortable ride, a roomy interior, and decent gas mileage--rising to quite good in the Camry Hybrid model. The Camry has inspired lots of automakers to build better sedans in the segment. The set of rivals for the... |
| Posted: 13 Sep 2014 09:56 AM PDT  The Honda Civic is one of the best-selling, most widely recognized car lines in the world. Across almost a dozen generations, the Civic has included hatchback and wagon styles as well as the sedan and coupe now offered. With its enviable reputation for longevity and durability, the Civic also has had another trump card in its hand, for most of its... |
| Posted: 13 Sep 2014 09:55 AM PDT  The Toyota Prius is the car that established hybrid vehicles on American roads. It's an icon, for better or worse, both praised and mocked in popular culture. Beyond that, it's also a terrifically efficient gas-powered car that's rated by the EPA at 50 miles per gallon combined, where it's been since the launch of the third generation car for... |
| Posted: 13 Sep 2014 09:41 AM PDT  The Chevrolet Volt is General Motors' first foray into extended-range electric cars. When its battery is charged, it can go up to 38 miles on electricity alone; when the battery is nearly exhausted, a gasoline-powered generator kicks in to recharge the battery, to extend its driving range for another 300 miles or more. The blending of electric... |
| Posted: 13 Sep 2014 09:25 AM PDT  The Honda Ridgeline may have a pickup bed, but it's less concerned with hauling lumber than it is hauling toys. The Ridgeline's unusual set of bona fides come from its crossover-derived body. The Ridgeline is part frame, part unibody, with some of its structure shared with the Honda Pilot crossover. That means its truck bed isn't all that large... |
| Posted: 13 Sep 2014 09:22 AM PDT  The GMC Acadia is the truck brand's minivan substitute. It's a member of a family of vehicles that includes the Buick Enclave and Chevy Traverse--and has included the Saab 9-4X and Saturn Outlook in the past. The Acadia can seat up to eight passengers, but it's more accurately described as a crossover vehicle, since it offers all-wheel-drive as an... |
| Posted: 13 Sep 2014 09:16 AM PDT  The GMC Yukon is a full-size SUV that’s based on its cohort GMC Sierra pickup truck. It takes many of its components from the Cadillac Escalade and the Chevrolet Suburban and Tahoe. The Yukon competes with those other GM SUVs, as well as the Ford Expedition, the Lincoln Navigator, the Toyota Sequoia, and the Infiniti QX80. Like those... |
| Posted: 13 Sep 2014 09:13 AM PDT  The Honda Accord Hybrid and Accord Plug-In Hybrid were both new models in the Honda range for 2014, moving the Accord lineup to greener pastures with improved fuel efficiency for the newly redesigned mid-size sedan. The Accord Hybrid was named Green Car Reports' Best Car To Buy 2014. Its rivals include the Toyota Camry, Hyundai Sonata, Kia Optima... |
