| GM Stops Sale Of 2015 Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia In Wake Of Goodyear Recall Posted: 23 Jan 2015 09:10 AM PST  General Motors spent most of 2014 juggling recalls, like the headline-grabbing "Switchgate" recall meant to repair ignition switches used in millions of GM vehicles. This year, however, one of GM's first safety actions has little to do with the company itself and everything to do with Goodyear tires installed on some of the automaker's popular... |
| Posted: 23 Jan 2015 08:43 AM PST  The GMC Acadia is the truck brand's minivan substitute, a three-row crossover utility that is aimed at families who don't need a true full-size SUV. It's closely related to today's Buick Enclave and Chevy Traverse, as well as the discontinued Saturn Outlook crossover. The Acadia can seat up to eight passengers just like a minivan, but it's more... |
| Posted: 23 Jan 2015 08:37 AM PST  The GMC Yukon is a full-size SUV that’s based on the same architecture ad the GMC Sierra pickup truck. The Yukon shares most of its components with the Cadillac Escalade and the Chevrolet Suburban and Tahoe.

| Posted: 23 Jan 2015 08:33 AM PST  The sporty Acura MDX crossover is one of the oldest nameplates in the luxury and near-luxury utility-vehicle category. In its current form, it offers three rows of seating and a choice of front- or all-wheel drive. Among U.S. large luxury crossovers, competition includes the Infiniti QX60, the Lexus RX, the Lincoln MKT, and perhaps the Buick... |
| Posted: 23 Jan 2015 08:32 AM PST  The Mercedes-AMG GT is a two-door, high-performance luxury coupe. It’s the second car the AMG brand has built completely on its own, without a Mercedes-Benz production car as its basis, and it aims to take on the Porsche 911. The AMG GT follows the SLS AMG in terms of timing, but it is not considered a successor. The GT uses some of the... |
| Posted: 23 Jan 2015 08:24 AM PST  The Kia Sedona is one of only a handful of minivans on sale in the U.S. today. After taking a brief hiatus from which it returned mostly unchanged, the Sedona has been given a major rework for 2015. Changes include a new body most noticeably, as well as an updated interior, modern tech features, and a new sliding-seat system. The Sedona is built... |
| Posted: 23 Jan 2015 08:18 AM PST  The Kia K900 is the biggest, most expensive sedan the Korean automaker has yet offered in the U.S.--and its most luxurious offering to date, too. A new model entry for the 2015 model year, the K900 shares its architecture with the Hyundai Equus, though the base model comes with a six-cylinder that is only available in Hyundai's shorter Genesis... |
| Posted: 23 Jan 2015 08:13 AM PST  The Rolls-Royce Wraith is the newest model from the venerated British luxury marque. It is the most powerful car Rolls-Royce has ever built, and the first fastback coupe from the company in decades. Launched for 2014, the Wraith has a shape and price that suggest it's a competitor for the Bentley Continental GT, the car that really defined the... |
| Posted: 23 Jan 2015 08:07 AM PST  The Fiat 500L, introduced as a 2014 model, is a compact tall wagon that's the first of several vehicles that will extend the popular Fiat 500 line into new segments. Remarkably roomy inside for its footprint, it actually shares almost nothing but a powertrain with the Fiat 500 minicar that brought the brand back to the U.S. market decades after it... |
| Posted: 23 Jan 2015 07:57 AM PST  The Honda Civic is one of the best-selling, most widely recognized car lines in the world. Across almost a dozen generations, the Civic has included hatchback and wagon styles as well as the sedan and coupe now offered. The Civic is Honda's compact car, a smaller companion to the similarly well-known Accord. With its enviable reputation for... |
| Posted: 23 Jan 2015 07:53 AM PST  The Honda Ridgeline is the Japanese brand's first and so far only attempt at a large pickup truck. It shares underpinnings with cars and SUVs alike, making it somewhat of a hybrid-crossover truck in its construction. It may have a pickup bed, but it's less concerned with hauling lumber than it is hauling toys. The Ridgeline is currently taking a... |
| Posted: 23 Jan 2015 07:46 AM PST  The Honda Accord Hybrid and Accord Plug-In Hybrid were both added to the automaker's range for 2014. This represents the second time Honda has offered a hybrid option on its mid-size sedan, and the first for a plug-in model. The new versions are much more mileage focused than the original, which should resonate better with the type of customers... |
| Posted: 23 Jan 2015 07:41 AM PST  The Honda CR-V is a five-passenger, compact crossover utility vehicle--and one of the top sellers in its niche. Powered by a four-cylinder engine alone, the current CR-V has good crash-test scores and reliability, making it a formidable rival for vehicles like the Ford Escape, Toyota RAV4, Nissan Rogue, and Chevy Equinox. Adapted from the same... |
| Posted: 23 Jan 2015 07:34 AM PST  The Ford Expedition is a full-size SUV with a mission in mind: to carry big families or to tow and haul their belongings in a way today's crossover vehicles simply can't. The Expedition is one of a small set of truly big utes; it competes with vehicles such as the Chevy Tahoe and Suburban, the GMC Yukon, the Nissan Armada, and the Toyota Sequoia... |
