| Posted: 29 Jan 2015 03:05 PM PST  With the new 4-Series taking the previous 3-Series coupe’s place in the BMW lineup, the M4 is a new name for an all-new version of the previous M3 Coupe. What makes the new M4 special enough to deserve the vaunted M badge? Many, many things, but foremost among them is a new, potent twin-turbocharged engine. Stylistically, the new... |
| Posted: 29 Jan 2015 03:04 PM PST  The latest generation of the BMW M3 changes the prior formula considerably, but is still bred from the same stock. With a new turbocharged six-cylinder engine, a new look, and less weight, the new M3 seeks to claw back old ground, as well as blaze a new path forward. From the outside, the M3 doesn't veer dramatically from the 3-Series... |
| Safe Set: Nine Late-Model Used Vehicles With The Lowest Fatality Rate Posted: 29 Jan 2015 12:13 PM PST  The chances of dying in a car crash, if you’re behind the wheel of a newer vehicle, have dropped dramatically over the past several years. In just three years, studying a corresponding four-year window of late-model used vehicles, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) found that the driver death rate dropped 42 percent—from... |
| Posted: 29 Jan 2015 12:10 PM PST  Lexus's RX has been its bestselling model ever since it was introduced. The mid-size Lexus utility practically invented the luxury crossover when it debuted, with many other brands following suit and trying to take sales away from it since. The RX was recently joined in the Lexus lineup by a smaller crossover, the NX. The Lexus RX—called the... |
| Posted: 29 Jan 2015 12:08 PM PST  The Avalon is Toyota's largest sedan offering, a size up from and based on the mid-size Camry. The brand considers it to be its flagship, although it has only grown into that role truly of late. Early Avalons were indeed the largest sedans offered by Toyota, but they carried boring styling and weren't terribly interesting to drive. The Avalon is... |
| Posted: 29 Jan 2015 12:04 PM PST  The Toyota RAV4 is a five-passenger crossover wagon that is among the most popular in the compact class. In Toyota showrooms since the 1990s, the RAV4 competes with other best-sellers like the Ford Escape, Honda CR-V, Subaru Forester, and Mazda CX-5. The RAV4 was introduced at the height of the SUV craze--at a time when new-car buyers were seeking... |
| Posted: 29 Jan 2015 11:55 AM PST  The Toyota Corolla has been the best-selling compact car in the U.S. for much of the last two decades. Entirely redesigned for 2014, it continues its role as highly dependable, not-very-exciting, carefully packaged transportation for sensible buyers seeking reliability over styling flair, sporty handling, or luxury features. See our 2015 Toyota... |
| Posted: 29 Jan 2015 11:49 AM PST  The Bentley Flying Spur is a five-passenger sedan that cannot be adequately described as a luxury vehicle, since its trappings surpass those of most everything available today. The Flying Spur is also a high-performance four-door capable of extraordinary speed and composure. Like all Bentleys, it's one of the finest vehicles made, fitted equally... |
| Posted: 29 Jan 2015 11:45 AM PST  The Infiniti QX50 is a compact luxury crossover vehicle that recently underwent a name change. When it made its debut almost a decade ago, it was known as the EX35, later to become the EX37 when it received a larger engine. Now, as the result of a wholesale change in Infiniti's naming strategy, it's become the QX50. Infiniti's littlest crossover... |
| Posted: 29 Jan 2015 11:39 AM PST  The Honda Fit has been thoroughly revamped for the 2015 model year. A hatchback in the subcompact class, the Fit is a rival for vehicles like the Chevy Sonic, Ford Fiesta, Mazda 2, and Hyundai Accent.

| Posted: 29 Jan 2015 11:34 AM PST  The Honda Odyssey is a minivan that can seat up to eight passengers. It's one of the best choices in the minivan segment, a step ahead of rivals like the Nissan Quest and Kia Sedona--and on par with the Toyota Sienna, Dodge Grand Caravan, and Chrysler Town & Country. As minivans go, the Odyssey has the best road manners, even though buyers in... |
| Posted: 29 Jan 2015 11:28 AM PST  The Ford Focus is the American automaker's global best-seller, a compact car that's offered in hatchback and sedan form. A challenger for the Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla, and Chevrolet Cruze, among many others, the latest Focus is thoroughly modern and continues to receive updates nearly every year. The current Focus was launched for the 2012... |
| Posted: 29 Jan 2015 11:24 AM PST  The Ford Explorer is one of the best-known SUV models in North America. In its latest iteration, the Explorer has moved away from its truck-based roots--which dated back to 1991--and become a large, comfortable, seven-seat family crossover utility vehicle with modern technology and a more car-like driving feel.

| Posted: 29 Jan 2015 11:20 AM PST  The Ford Escape has long been a top seller in the compact crossover segment, and the current model is the most modern iteration yet. It replaces a version that, despite two rounds of updates, was boxy and outdated after its 12-year run, and now offers sleek and modern styling, more fuel-efficient powertrains (though no longer a hybrid option)... |
| Posted: 29 Jan 2015 10:25 AM PST  The Volvo XC70 is a luxury wagon that's been a part of the Swedish automaker's lineup for decades. It has just two true rivals in the market: the Subaru Outback and the Audi Allroad. That's because it's not quite a crossover vehicle--it's more a station wagon with some light cladding and all-weather ability, plus a little extra ground clearance... |
