| Mitsubishi Hints At A New Montero For The U.S.: Chicago Show Debut? Posted: 22 Jan 2015 04:20 PM PST  Is the Mitsubishi Montero coming back to the U.S. market? Based on hints dropped by the company in advance of next month’s Chicago Auto Show, showing a utility vehicle with an upright profile, and the wording “the return of a legend,” the brand is at the least seriously considering it. The original Mitsubishi Montero, sold here... |
| U.S. Transportation Secretary: Automatic-Braking Safety Tech ‘Recommended’ Posted: 22 Jan 2015 12:04 PM PST  Safety technology—including airbags, seatbelts, crash structures, and much more—has saved an estimated 613,501 lives since 1960, according to a newly released report on a statistical model from the federal government. On the heels of that comes an announcement from Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx today, underscoring the... |
| Is Driving While Eating The New Driving While Texting? Posted: 22 Jan 2015 08:56 AM PST  Cheeseburgers and steering wheels are a dangerous combination -- at least that's what one resident of Cobb County, Georgia was told when he was ticketed for eating while driving. Madison Turner was doing what many folks do every week: juggling the demands of two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions, a sesame-seed bun... |
| Toyota’s Texas HQ, 2016 Bentley Bentayga, 2016 Acura RDX: What’s New @ The Car Connection Posted: 22 Jan 2015 07:30 AM PST  From The Car Connection: 2015 Kia Sedona Review 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... |
| Posted: 22 Jan 2015 07:22 AM PST  The Jeep Renegade is an all-new compact utility vehicle, making its debut for the 2015 model year. Combining Fiat's expertise with small, fuel-efficient cars with Jeep's notoriety for ruggedness and iconic styling, the model lands in an increasingly crowded market of utility vehicles that are small and carlike yet tall and often boxy—such as... |
| Posted: 22 Jan 2015 07:17 AM PST  The Mazda 5 is a minivan—but one that's a fraction of the size of anything else on the market that bears that classification. The current Mazda 5 is based on the underpinnings of the previous-generation Mazda 3 compact-car family. It's a minivan for those who are fond of driving; what it loses in interior space, it makes up for in handling... |
| Posted: 22 Jan 2015 07:12 AM PST  The Buick Regal is a mid-size sedan with a mixture of luxury and sporting appeal. It rejoined the GM brand's lineup for the 2011 model year. Off and on, it had been a part of the Buick family for decades, in many different forms and sizes. Today, the Regal is the middle child in a three-sedan lineup that includes the large LaCrosse and the compact... |
| Posted: 22 Jan 2015 07:07 AM PST  The Subaru BRZ is a compact, rear-wheel-drive sports car. Its emphasis on light weight and direct handling make it a suitable competitor for the Nissan 370Z and the Mazda MX-5 Miata, and if you're pushing the limits of price, the Porsche Cayman. It's an unconventional addition to the Subaru lineup, as the only vehicle the brand sells without... |
| Hyundai & Kia Fined $360 Million For Faulty MPG Claims (None Of Which Will Fund Electric Cars) Posted: 22 Jan 2015 07:02 AM PST  Hyundai and Kia have agreed to a massive $360 million fine, following a two-year-long investigation of the Korean automakers by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Added to the $395 million that Hyundai and Kia have paid to vehicle owners, the companies will have forked over $755 million for misstating fuel economy in 13 models. READ: The... |
| Posted: 22 Jan 2015 07:00 AM PST  The Dodge Charger is one of Chrysler's big rear-drive cars. Its relatives currently include the Dodge Challenger two-door muscle car and the Chrysler 300 sedan. The Charger is available with rear- or all-wheel drive, and with a wide range of engines—from a sensible V-6 to huge V-8s for the SRT versions. A large sedan, the Charger also now... |
| Posted: 22 Jan 2015 06:49 AM PST  The Impala is Chevrolet's flagship sedan, the top front-drive model aimed at providing comfort and space. It's also the largest mainstream model, although Chevy also offers the SS sedan, which is a low-volume performance that has a V-8 and rear-wheel drive. In some ways, the SS sedan picks up where previous Impalas left off. The Impala name has... |
| Posted: 22 Jan 2015 06:43 AM PST  The Infiniti QX80 is a large sport utility vehicle with a distinctive design and a relatively new name—it was formerly known as the QX56, but as of 2014, the new QX80 badge is official. It is Infiniti's largest SUV offering, its biggest model in general, and currently the most expensive thing to wear the brand's goggled logo. Infiniti's... |
| Posted: 22 Jan 2015 06:39 AM PST  While the QX70 name has very little history, the car it is affixed to goes back a while and should be familiar to many. Known as the FX before Infiniti changed up its naming convention, the QX70 is a very sporty mid-size crossover utility with a striking design. The brand's new naming convention means the model names no longer follow engine... |
| Posted: 22 Jan 2015 06:31 AM PST  The Infiniti Q70 is a four-door sport sedan that, until 2014, was known as the Infiniti M. Now renamed but essentially the same car, it competes with the Audi A6, Jaguar XF, Lexus GS, Mercedes-Benz E-Class, and BMW 5-Series, and, in some edge cases, the Acura RLX, too. The company's new naming system is bound to generate confusion for a few years... |
| Posted: 22 Jan 2015 06:26 AM PST  The Audi S5 remains one of the most stylish designs on the road today, available as either a coupe or soft-top convertible. It's also fairly practical and very potent, especially in V-8-powered RS 5 form. Close siblings to the S5 include the A5 on which it's based as well as the A4 and S4 sedans and Allroad wagon. Compared to the A5, the S5 and... |
