| 2014 Mercedes-Benz B-Class Electric Drive Posted: 31 Oct 2014 05:25 PM PDT  If you've even considered going gasoline-free with a vehicle like the 2014 Mercedes-Benz B-Class Electric Drive -- the only way you can get a B-Class in the U.S. -- you’re probably already acutely aware that plugging in, and going all-electric, is a numbers game. Will you have enough available miles for your daily driving and... |
| Posted: 31 Oct 2014 04:56 PM PDT  The 2015 Lexus GX 460 is the kind of 'tough-truck' luxury SUV that was all the rage a decade ago; yet today it's a niche product – one that offers a luxurious cabin for family-hauling, as well as a full-fledged off-roading four-wheel-drive system for weekend warriors. For the U.S. it's become an increasingly hard sell, as even... |
| Posted: 31 Oct 2014 04:37 PM PDT  The focus of the Toyota Corolla has long been basic, trouble-free, and relatively comfortable transportation, without the frills. But that all changed a bit a couple years ago, when Toyota added some more technology and flair to the Corolla, and free of biases that have long pegged the Corolla the blandest of the compact-sedan bunch... |
| Posted: 31 Oct 2014 04:22 PM PDT  The 2015 Lexus ES lands squarely between the IS and GS sport sedans in the Lexus lineup, and it serves as a comfort-minded and far less performance-oriented counterpart to them both. The ES 350 and ES 330h hybrid are based on the Toyota Avalon architecture (rather than, a few years ago, the Camry), and with a major redesign a couple of... |
| Posted: 31 Oct 2014 03:59 PM PDT  The Nissan Sentra gets what we'd call a realignment for 2015; with its features and options a bit reshuffled, in hopes that this compact-sedan family will attract more shoppers to the brand. And in the Sentra's segment of the market, competition is particularly tough, with some of the Sentra's rivals offering new technologies and... |
| Posted: 31 Oct 2014 03:46 PM PDT  The 2015 Kia Forte is a great example of how compact sedans are becoming more stylish and attractive on their own, rather than trying to emulate mid-size sedans. With its swoopy profile and sharp styling elements, it delivers a different look than the larger Optima, plus decent performance, an excellent feature set, three body styles... |
| Infotainment Woes, Corvette Recalled, Best Car To Buy Nominees: The Week In Reverse Posted: 31 Oct 2014 02:30 PM PDT  New-car reliability faces the blue screen of death, and it’s not pretty. You probably worry about your car too much, but not enough about your credit score. And what’s the best car to buy? There’s a little bit of everything here in The Week In Reverse, for Friday, October 31, right here at The Car Connection. Yes, we did actually... |
| 2015 Honda Fit: Best Car To Buy Nominee Posted: 31 Oct 2014 09:26 AM PDT  Urban commuters, you're looking at one of the best picks in a lean, space-conscious and fuel-efficient small car. If your priorities include maneuverability, versatility, value, and pretty much everything practicality-related, then the 2015 Honda Fit is one that you really must include—one of our highest-rated small cars, and a 2015 Best Car... |
| Is Leasing A Car A Losing Game? Posted: 31 Oct 2014 09:25 AM PDT  To buy or to lease? That is the question Consumer Reports asked in a recent article examining the pros and cons of buying and leasing new cars. The answer? "In general it makes financial sense for most to buy a vehicle". The magazine says that goes double for slobs and parents -- and probably triple for parents of slovenly rugrats. ALSO SEE... |
| Posted: 31 Oct 2014 07:56 AM PDT  The Cadillac ATS is the new entry-level vehicle in GM's luxury lineup. Launched as a compact four-door sedan in 2013, the ATS lineup acquired a second model, the ATS Coupe, for the 2015 model year. With brilliant handling and a good selection of features and powertrains, the ATS is a true rival for vehicles like the Audi A4, BMW 3-Series, Infiniti... |
| 2014 Jeep Wrangler, Dodge Grand Caravan, Chrysler Town & Country Recalled For Tire Pressure Monitors Posted: 31 Oct 2014 07:53 AM PDT  Chrysler has issued two new recalls, both designed to fix problems associated with tire pressure monitors. The one likely to affect more individual consumers involves the 2014 Jeep Wrangler, Dodge Grand Caravan, and Chrysler Town & Country. ALSO SEE: AeroMobil 3.0 Takes To The Skies, So Yeah, Flying Cars Are Probably Going To Be A Thing... |
| Posted: 31 Oct 2014 07:52 AM PDT  The Cadillac XTS is a full-size, four-door sedan that, for now, caps the luxury brand’s sedan lineup. It won't be the "standard of the world" standard-bearer for long, as a new flagship Caddy is in the works. But until then, the XTS serves as a handsome, capable alternative to vehicles like the Infiniti Q70 and Acura RLX. MORE: Read our 2015... |
| Posted: 31 Oct 2014 07:46 AM PDT  The Toyota Highlander is a mid- to full-size crossover SUV, and a great choice for families that won't consider a minivan. With seats for up to eight passengers and a choice of four-, six-cylinder and hybrid drivetrains, the Highlander tops out a Toyota crossover family that includes the Venza and RAV4. It offers up nearly as much interior space... |
| Posted: 31 Oct 2014 07:43 AM PDT  The Nissan Titan is a full-size pickup that's a rival for the toughest trucks from Ford, Chevy, GMC, and Ram. It shares some running gear with Nissan's full-size Armada SUV--as well as some of its frame with the mid-size Frontier truck. The Titan went on sale as Nissan's first full-size truck in the 2004 model year. It hasn't been the sales titan... |
| Posted: 31 Oct 2014 07:41 AM PDT  The Nissan Frontier is one of the two remaining mid-size pickup trucks--that is, until the 2015 model year is in full swing. Conceived at a time when compact and mid-size trucks were a bigger part of the market, the Frontier is still our choice over the older, less powerful Toyota Tacoma. That all could change later this year as GM introduces its... |
