| 2015 Acura TLX: Best Car To Buy Nominee Posted: 28 Oct 2014 02:20 PM PDT  Acura has streamlining its sedan lineup this year, replacing both the TSX and TL with the new TLX. And while we’re especially sad to see the TSX (and its Sport Wagon variant) go, the 2015 Acura TLX is a better car in every way—one that’s a nominee for our 2015 Best Car To Buy award. There’s a lot to love from the... |

But according to a recent Gallup poll, ghouls and goblins aren't what's keeping most of you up at night. Car theft, on the other hand? That's a different story. ALSO SEE: Hardtop Convertibles... |

| Posted: 28 Oct 2014 08:58 AM PDT  Alfa Romeo dropped off the radar of American drivers back in the early 1990s, when it withdrew from sales, taking the ancient Spider convertible and slow-selling 164 sedan with it.

Today's Golf was introduced in 2012 as... |
| Posted: 28 Oct 2014 08:38 AM PDT  The Volkswagen Touareg is a mid-size SUV that currently heads Volkswagen's crossover lineup. The Touareg is surprisingly capable, even after having some of its off-road gear removed in the second generation.

| Posted: 28 Oct 2014 08:31 AM PDT  The Volkswagen CC is a spin-off of the last generation of VW Passat sedans. A four-door with frameless windows, it's dubbed by VW as a "coupe-like sedan"--a car with a sleeker roofline and more visual zest than a formal-rooflined sedan. In that way, it's a follower in the trail blazed by the Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class, and the Audi A7. The CC is a... |

| Posted: 28 Oct 2014 08:13 AM PDT  Competing with the Bentley Flying Spur, Audi A8, BMW 7-Series, Aston Martin Rapide, and the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, the Rolls-Royce Ghost is the least expensive way to get into the Spirit of Ecstasy, but that doesn't mean it offers a discount experience. For more information, including specifications, see our page for the 2014 Rolls-Royce Ghost The... |
| Posted: 28 Oct 2014 08:09 AM PDT  The Porsche 911 is a 2+2 rear-engined sports car available in both rear- and all-wheel drive form, as well as in coupe, cabriolet, and targa body types.
