| Posted: 19 Jan 2015 11:17 AM PST  The Porsche Cayenne is a luxury SUV with a strong focus on performance. It takes the standard SUV formula and adds in a lot of the driving character of Porsche's sports cars. The Cayenne is the most versatile Porsche ever, and it actually has some true off-road ability. Today's lineup includes the Cayenne, Cayenne Diesel, Cayenne S, Cayenne GTS... |
| Posted: 19 Jan 2015 11:03 AM PST  The Ford C-Max is a lineup of two hybrids--one plug-in, one not--that joined the Ford family in the 2013 model year. Both are tall, compact hatchbacks that are intended to rival the Toyota Prius, in both standard and plug-in editions. To some degree, the C-Max also competes with the Chevrolet Volt range-extended electric car. MORE: Read our 2015... |
| Posted: 19 Jan 2015 10:58 AM PST  The BMW 6-Series has grown into a lineup of its own within BMW, including the traditional coupe and convertible and now adding a four-door coupe called Gran Coupe to the mix. All body styles are available with a choice of six- and eight-cylinder engines, including top-flight M6 variants of each, and all-wheel drive is available as well. In... |
| Posted: 19 Jan 2015 10:54 AM PST  The BMW X3 is a luxury mid-size SUV that's a rival for vehicles like the Mercedes-Benz GLK, Cadillac SRX, Audi Q5, and Range Rover Evoque. Built in the BMW plant in South Carolina, the X3 slots in between the larger X5 and compact X1 in the automaker's lineup.

| Posted: 19 Jan 2015 10:50 AM PST  The Outlander Sport is Mitsubishi's smallest crossover offering. Although it shares part of its name with the company's larger Outlander model, the compact Outlander Sport has little else in common with that crossover. The Outlander Sport is by far the most popular model in Mitsubishi's small U.S. lineup. The Outlander Sport is a rival for a wide... |
| Posted: 19 Jan 2015 10:38 AM PST  The Maserati Ghibli is a new four-door, mid-size sedan in the Italian automaker's global lineup. New for the 2014 model year in the U.S., the Ghibli is a rival for vehicles like the Jaguar XF, Audi A6, and Cadillac CTS. The car may be completely new, but the name has a long history. The name itself is derived from an Arabic word meaning "hot wind... |
| Posted: 19 Jan 2015 10:38 AM PST  The GranTurismo is the only two-door model currently offered within Maserati's small range of vehicles. It's definitely the sportiest offering from the brand, although it's set up as more of a grand tourer than a true sports car, with available luxury amenities like fitted luggage as well as a two-plus-two interior. The GranTurismo is available as... |
| Posted: 19 Jan 2015 10:36 AM PST  The S3 is the sporty version of the compact Audi A3. Both have been redesigned for the 2015 model year. Within the A3 range, the S3 is joined by such powertrain variants as a plug-in hybrid A3 e-tron hatchback and a turbodiesel A3 TDI. The S3's powerful turbo four and suspension tuning set it apart from the rest, making it the most fun among them... |
| Posted: 19 Jan 2015 10:26 AM PST  The Infiniti Q60 Coupe was a new model for 2014, but it's not a new car. Instead, the Q60 is a rebadged version of the former Infiniti G37 Coupe and convertible line--even though it's mostly unchanged. Meanwhile, the former G37 sedan is now the Infiniti Q40. Plus there's a new four-door sedan called the Infiniti Q50 that was going to replace the... |
| Posted: 19 Jan 2015 10:17 AM PST  The Infiniti Q50 is the luxury brand's mainstay sedan, though it's only been on sale for two years. That's when Infiniti decided to rebadge all of its cars, and applied the Q50 label to the model replacing the popular G37 sedan. (That car actually lives on this year as the Q40). The Q50 was the first new Infiniti to adopt a new naming convention... |
| Posted: 19 Jan 2015 10:17 AM PST  Infiniti's Q40 is a small, rear-wheel-drive or all-wheel-drive sport sedan that is powered exclusively by a V-6 engine. It is basically a reincarnation of an older model that continues to be one of the most involving in its class. Really, only the name has changed. Though the name sounds similar, the Q40 isn't a new version of Infiniti's... |
| Posted: 19 Jan 2015 09:37 AM PST  The Jeep Patriot is a small hatchback crossover utility. It is a companion to the Jeep Compass, with which it shares its underpinnings and powertrains. Both of these compact utilities are designed for drivers who want some of the Jeep tradition but don't need a vehicle as large or as capable as the Cherokee. The Patriot is a rival for vehicles... |
| Posted: 19 Jan 2015 08:23 AM PST  The Jeep Compass is a compact crossover model from the iconic off-road brand. It is a companion piece to the Jeep Patriot, but while the Patriot is styled with more quintessentially Jeep cues, the Compass appears more like a rally-ready hatchback. Their on-road manners are similar, but the two models are differentiated more when it comes to... |
| Posted: 19 Jan 2015 08:14 AM PST  The Jeep Wrangler is hard to miss, even after being on the road for such a long time. The convertible SUV is available in both short and long wheelbases, all while paying homage to the design of military Jeeps in WWII. There still aren't many competitors to the Wrangler, with the closest being the Nissan Xterra and the now-deceased Toyota FJ... |
| Posted: 19 Jan 2015 08:07 AM PST  The Jeep Cherokee nameplate is a sacred one among Chrysler's brands and vehicles. Although it dates back to usage by AMC in the 1970s, the Cherokee name took a break in the U.S. from 2001 to 2013. It made a comeback for 2014, however, gracing an all-new crossover utility with true off-road chops, just like its forebears. The Cherokee is... |
