The Car Connection


Lexus LS

Posted: 12 Jan 2015 06:37 PM PST

The Lexus LS is the Toyota empire's flagship sedan, a large four-door in the luxury segment. It was the car that single-handedly established the Lexus brand, long before the popular RX crossover was introduced. It's a rival for the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, BMW 7-Series, Audi A8, and Jaguar XJ.

Hyundai Genesis Sedan

Posted: 12 Jan 2015 06:32 PM PST

The Genesis was Hyundai’s first entry into the luxury car segment. Introduced for the 2009 model year, it arrived at the right place and right time, during the throes of an economic downturn—when bargain-priced luxury made sense to people who still wanted to buy new. Now in its second generation, which debuted for 2015, the Genesis...

Cadillac CTS

Posted: 12 Jan 2015 06:31 PM PST

The Cadillac CTS is a mid-size luxury sedan that competes with the BMW 5-Series, Audi A6, and Mercedes-Benz E-Class, among others. The redesigned CTS sedan that emerged in 2014 has grown in size, making room for the compact ATS below it. In the past, the CTS has been somewhat of a tweener, occupying a space between compact and mid-size sedans...

2016 Toyota Tacoma

Posted: 12 Jan 2015 10:10 AM PST

The Toyota Tacoma has some of the most rabid loyalists of all the mid-size trucks--they bought more than 155,000 copies last year, twice as many as its nearest competitor. But we're betting the arrival of the new Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon will change that equation; the Colorado's already won major awards, and is a finalist for the...

Honda Fined $70 Million For Underreporting Auto Problems: Slap On The Wrist Or Serious Fine?

Posted: 12 Jan 2015 06:03 AM PST

Back in November, we told you that Honda had failed to report more than 1,700 death and injury claims to U.S. regulators, and as a result, the Japanese automaker was facing fines of $35 million -- the maximum that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration could impose. NHTSA has now ruled on the matter, and Honda is going to shell out...

2016 Nissan Titan

Posted: 12 Jan 2015 05:05 AM PST

Twelve years ago, it was brand-new. Today, it's the oldest full-size truck on the U.S. market. That's set to change with the 2016 Nissan Titan, as the Mississippi-made truck gets a full revamp. Nissan previewed the new truck at the 2015 Detroit auto show, with a few details offered in advance of an on-sale date later in 2015. The redo...

It's all-new, and it retains all of the Volt's strongest attributes while fixing most of the shortcomings of the previous model. It has more all-electric range--50 miles--and higher fuel efficiency, with its EPA rating expected to come in at a...

2015 Alfa Romeo 4C Spider: Top Sports-Car Pick Goes Topless

Posted: 11 Jan 2015 09:01 PM PST

The 2015 Alfa Romeo 4C Spider, which makes its debut this week at the Detroit Auto Show, breaks convention with pretty much every other convertible and open-top car on the market, short of far more expensive exotic cars. And that’s a very good thing. The 4C Spider is a completely different, thoroughly modern kind of open-top...
