| Posted: 16 Jan 2015 11:05 AM PST  Lincoln is rebuilding its model line--not around land-yacht classics, but around nimble mid-size and compact vehicles like the MKZ sedan and MKC crossover.

| Despite Low Gas Prices, MPGs Remain Car Shoppers' #1 Criteria Says J.D. Power Posted: 16 Jan 2015 09:19 AM PST  If you've been near a gas pump in the past several weeks, you may have felt like Rip van Winkle: disoriented, confused, and wondering if the past several years have all been a dream. That's because the average cost of a gallon of unleaded regular gasoline is now $2.08 -- a low that Americans haven't seen in over six years. And yet, despite that... |
| Posted: 16 Jan 2015 09:19 AM PST  The Ford Fusion is a family-friendly mid-size sedan that’s been sold in two generations since 2005 and was completely redesigned for the 2013 model year.

| Posted: 16 Jan 2015 09:03 AM PST  The Land Rover LR4 is a luxury sport-utility vehicle with seating for up to seven passengers. While it's been tamed for on-road use and is fairly practical in its design, it's also quite capable off-road, like the other models in the Land Rover lineup. The LR4's main rivals include the BMW X5, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Volkswagen Touareg, and... |
| Posted: 16 Jan 2015 08:54 AM PST  Ferrari’s California is a two-plus-two convertible sports car with a folding hard-top roof. Despite being Ferrari’s “entry-level” car, it’s exciting to drive, comfortable enough for daily use, and dramatically styled to boot. The California competes with the Maserati GranTurismo, Lamborghini Huracan, and Porsche 911... |
| Posted: 16 Jan 2015 08:44 AM PST  The Ferrari FF is a three-door luxury, high-performance hatchback. It’s Ferrari’s first-ever all-wheel-drive vehicle, bringing a new level of practicality to the luxury, performance, and style the brand is already known for. It's difficult to pick a vehicle that rivals the FF's unique skill set, but the Bentley Continental GT Speed... |

| Posted: 16 Jan 2015 08:35 AM PST  The Lincoln MKZ is an entry-luxury, mid-sized four-door sedan. It is a spin-off of Ford's Fusion sedan and has been sold since 2006.

| Posted: 16 Jan 2015 08:32 AM PST  The Chevrolet Cruze compact four-door sedan, even in its fifth year, remains a segment leader that competes head to head with the Ford Focus, Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla, Hyundai Elantra, and Kia Forte.

| Posted: 16 Jan 2015 08:17 AM PST  The Chevrolet Spark is the smallest car currently sold by General Motors in the U.S. This city-friendly hatchback is more than a foot shorter than the next-smallest Chevy—the Sonic—making it a rival for vehicles like the Fiat 500, Mitsubishi Mirage, and the tiny Smart ForTwo and Scion iQ. The Spark is powered by an 84-horsepower... |
| Posted: 16 Jan 2015 08:13 AM PST  The Mazda MX-5 Miata is a true sports car, and one of the more unlikely successes of the modern automotive era. Designed in the 1980s as an homage to the classic British roadster, the Miata offered up all the driving fun of those sports cars, but virtually none of the ownership pains. This little Mazda has endured to this day, soon to enter its... |
| Posted: 16 Jan 2015 08:07 AM PST  The Mazda CX-9 is one of just a few truly family-sized large crossovers that have both sporty driving dynamics and a usable third row. It's also been one that carries a design and style that's a little edgier than the crossover norm—especially when it was originally introduced. For more information on the current model, including pricing... |
