2015 Jeep Compass

Posted: 01 Dec 2014 05:45 PM PST

After finally hitting somewhat of a stride in the small-ute segment—and taking years of what was originally a mediocre product into decent shape—the Jeep Compass is living on borrowed time, as it's due to be phased out in favor of the new Jeep Renegade plus one other new smaller model. It's still for sale for 2015, with all...

2015 Jeep Patriot

Posted: 01 Dec 2014 04:50 PM PST

The 2015 Jeep Patriot stands as a refreshingly different alternative and a good budget-minded option, in a market filled with small crossover utility vehicles. The Patriot doesn't quite fit in with the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4; it's more the size of smaller CUVs like the Nissan Juke and Kia Soul. Over time, Jeep has gradually made...

2015 Dodge Dart

Posted: 01 Dec 2014 04:16 PM PST

The 2015 Dodge Dart is a sporty, quite fun-to-drive compact sedan that arrived two years ago, replacing the substandard and unloved Caliber hatchback. For 2015 it offers few changes compared to the 2014 model. Last year's Dart, however, from a number of running changes. An expanded range of running gear and improved driveability solved...

2015 Lincoln MKC

Posted: 01 Dec 2014 03:55 PM PST

It's likely your typical younger, affluent car shopper in bigger East or West Coast cities—the kind the brand is targeting with the 2015 Lincoln MKC—probably doesn't know what the marque stands for. But the brand is skipping right over years of muddled messages, and soothing those waves of constant change with a rip tide of...

2015 Acura TLX

Posted: 01 Dec 2014 03:51 PM PST

Straddling two size categories and two realms of luxury and affordability, the Acura TLX is doing a lot of heavy lifting in the brand’s lineup. It replaces and combines attributes of both the former Acura TL and TSX, taking the strengths of each and rolling them into a remarkably impressive—if somewhat controversially...

2015 Chevrolet Corvette

Posted: 01 Dec 2014 03:25 PM PST

The 2015 Chevrolet Corvette builds on the new Stingray released for the 2014 model year with an expanded lineup that will include the Corvette Z06 supercar in both coupe and convertible forms. The standard Stingray continues on as well, bringing its own balance of value, performance, and style to the mix. Styling takes the Corvette in...

Toyota Camry Vs. Hyundai Sonata: Compare Cars

Posted: 01 Dec 2014 03:03 PM PST

The mid-size sedan segment has never been one to get hearts racing; but most serious contenders in this class of vehicle are here to get our daily family business done. And two of the strongest entries are the current Toyota Camry and Hyundai Sonata. In design and styling, it’s almost as if these two sedan mainstays have swapped roles for...

2015 Ram 1500

Posted: 01 Dec 2014 10:58 AM PST

Competition is fierce among half-ton pickup trucks, yet the 2015 Ram 1500 remains one of our favorites. The Ram focuses on fuel economy, with eight-speed automatics available, a class-exclusive diesel engine, and plenty of aero tricks, but it doesn't forget comfort either, with coil springs at the rear, an available air-ride...

2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Posted: 01 Dec 2014 10:58 AM PST

Refinement and capability have always been Grand Cherokee hallmarks. As the model has evolved over the years, it has grown even more plush, all the while retaining most of its off-road prowess. Like just about any off-road-ready vehicle of its kind, it's not likely to actually leave pavement for long, but buyers pay few penalties for...

2015 Mercedes-Benz GLK Class

Posted: 01 Dec 2014 10:57 AM PST

The Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class was redesigned recently, and last year it got a new efficient diesel four-cylinder option. The GLK continues into 2015 unchanged. What has changed, however, is that the GLK is no longer Benz's smallest sport-ute. With the addition of the CLA-based GLA-Class for 2015, the GLK loses its entry-level status...

2015 Cadillac CTS

Posted: 01 Dec 2014 10:56 AM PST

The Cadillac CTS receives a short list of updates for 2015–including the addition of the new Cadillac crest to the grille–making this already excellent luxury sedan that much better. This year, it's only offered as a sedan, competing well against vehicles like the Jaguar XF, Audi A6, BMW 5-Series, Mercedes-Benz E-Class. For...

2015 Dodge Journey

Posted: 01 Dec 2014 10:55 AM PST

The Dodge Journey neatly splits the difference between a wagon and a more upright crossover or SUV. Though it flies mostly under the radar, the Journey has been steadily improving over the years and is now a competent crossover, offering seating for up to seven passengers. With smart packaging and a far nicer interior, plus better...

2015 Dodge Durango

Posted: 01 Dec 2014 10:54 AM PST

The 2015 Dodge Durango isn't quite a crossover, nor is it strictly an off-road-ready SUV. It's built from the architecture that brought us the Mercedes GL-Class and M-Class, as well as Jeep's Grand Cherokee, so it's a utility vehicle with considerable rugged capabilities and exceptionally nice road manners. Top it off with grabby...

BMW Adding Plug-In Hybrid Options For Best-Selling Models

Posted: 01 Dec 2014 09:43 AM PST

Today, BMW announced that it will soon offer plug-in hybrid variants of its most popular models. The news comes in the midst of several unveilings, including a 3-Series plug-in prototype and a new generation of BMW hybrid concepts set to debut at the company's facility in Miramas, France. All employ the same technology that underpins BMW's...

Rolls-Royce Wraith

Posted: 01 Dec 2014 08:38 AM PST

The Rolls-Royce Wraith, the newest model from the venerated British luxury marque, is the most powerful car Rolls-Royce has ever built and its first fastback coupe in decades. Launched for 2014, its shape and price suggest a competitor for the Bentley Continental GT that really defined the ultra-luxury coupe market a decade ago. But suiting the...
