| Posted: 21 Jan 2015 01:24 PM PST  The 2015 Mercedes-Benz GL is Mercedes-Benz's biggest SUV, a three-row luxury bus aimed squarely at Americans. In Fact, the GL is built right here in America, where it sells very well. It shares its platform and assembly line with the two-row M-Class SUV, offering similar powertrain choices and features. It's a luxury SUV without... |
| Posted: 21 Jan 2015 01:23 PM PST  While automakers flood into niches with compact crossovers and coupe-like sedans, they're not exactly rushing headlong into minivans. Over the past few years, the class has pretty much settled down to the big four sellers--Odyssey, Sienna, Town & Country, and Grand Caravan--and outliers like the Nissan Quest, Mazda 5, and Kia... |
| Posted: 21 Jan 2015 01:22 PM PST  Until now, shoppers wanting something less than a full-size truck had exactly two choices, and neither of them were what we'd call fresh, or innovative. The mid-size niche is growing this year, in the form of two new trucks nearly identical in configuration, but not so close in style: the Chevy Colorado, and the 2015 GMC Canyon. With... |
| Posted: 21 Jan 2015 01:21 PM PST  Pickup trucks have always been locked in a battle for capability--tow ratings, payload ratings, bed size, and crew capacity. Fuel economy has mostly been an also-ran consideration, in the past thirty-odd years that the Ford F-150 has been the best-selling truck and vehicle in the U.S.. It isn't anymore. Trucks are being reined in by... |
| Posted: 21 Jan 2015 01:19 PM PST  The Nissan Armada is one of the last remaining true full-size SUVs–and its dressed its truck-based chassis with a roomy interior, clad in masculine, imposing sheetmetal. However, it's also one of the oldest big SUVs left on the market, now that the GM trucks have all been redesigned. That doesn't make the Armada any less... |
| Posted: 21 Jan 2015 01:19 PM PST  The 2015 Nissan Titan has fallen to the back of the pack, as the rest of the segment has seen–in some cases–multiple redesigns since it first made its debut. However, it still looks and sounds distinctive, even a decade later. There are essentially two different body styles for the 2015 Nissan Titan--King Cab and Crew... |
| Posted: 21 Jan 2015 01:15 PM PST  The Nissan Rogue was redesigned for last year–at least one version of it. You can still find a 2015 version of the previous-generation Rogue on the road today. It's called the Rogue Select, and it's intended only for rental fleets. The newer version of the Rogue you can buy is now only a year old, and it's more stylish and more... |
| Posted: 21 Jan 2015 01:14 PM PST  The 2015 Nissan Quest is a minivan that leaves us wanting. Its safety ratings are below average and its seating system is the least flexible on the market, despite its family-friendly intentions. It's more rewarding to drive than its competitors, but the Quest remains a difficult vehicle to recommend in this segment. Safety and... |
| Posted: 21 Jan 2015 12:03 PM PST  The Audi R8’s supercar status is unquestionable, with its dramatic appearance and raucous sounds. But despite the rock-star act, the R8 is also a very approachable, comfortable car to drive. For the 2015 model year, a few new look and feel elements further enhance this proven sports car. The entry R8 is still a 420-horsepower... |
| After Bentayga SUV, A New Continental Is Coming: Five Questions With Bentley's Kevin Rose Posted: 21 Jan 2015 10:42 AM PST  The Bentley Bentayga is the British automaker's first SUV. Due early next year, it's arguably the biggest product news from Bentley since the Continental GT first was introduced. The new SUV isn't all Bentley has on its plate, however. Sales are booming in all its major markets, especially China. It's making its initial forays into plug-in hybrid... |
| Posted: 21 Jan 2015 10:16 AM PST  With its crossover-like all-weather capability, station wagon-like ride and handling, and car-like nimble parking and maneuverability, the 2015 Subaru Forester is a very multipurpose vehicle with broad capabilities. From hauling people and things to running the dogs to the groomers, the Forester is up to nearly any... |
| Posted: 21 Jan 2015 10:11 AM PST  Wearing a dapper new exterior over upgraded and updated hardware and powertrain, the 2015 Cadillac Escalade is more refined, higher-tech, and more comfortable than ever before. Balancing panache with excess, the Escalade continues to meet a need few others can. This is, of course, a great thing. Some other luxury utes have faded into... |
| Posted: 21 Jan 2015 09:22 AM PST  New and improved, and impressive as ever, the 2015 GMC Yukon combines full-size truck capability with modern styling and more efficient powertrains. The Yukon family of SUVs--Yukon, long-wheelbase Yukon XL, and luxurious Yukon Denali--adopt many of the changes applied to the Sierra, though GMC points out that the related SUVs don't... |
| Posted: 21 Jan 2015 09:19 AM PST  The Porsche 918 Spyder was an early forerunner of the super-hybrid supercar, and though it has a pair of competitors at the extreme upper echelon of the world market, it remains a head-turning study in design, speed, and efficiency. Styled in the vein of the Carrera GT supercar, the 918 Spyder draws on the best of Porsche's heritage... |
| Toyota Breaks Ground For New Texas HQ In Plano Posted: 21 Jan 2015 09:13 AM PST  With so much attention focused on Mercedes-Benz's upcoming move to Atlanta, Georgia, some may have forgotten that Toyota is picking up stakes, too. Yesterday, the Japanese automaker broke ground on its new U.S. headquarters in Plano, Texas, with construction expected to take about two years. It was, as these things tend to be, a heavily scripted... |
