| Posted: 05 Jan 2015 05:28 PM PST  Is the 2015 Subaru Outback just a Legacy wagon, given a little more buff and brawn, or is it an exceptionally lean and responsive crossover? With the finer attention to detail that the Outback has been given for 2015, it's less of an 'either/or' than it ever was; what you get is a vehicle that can more effectively than ever play both... |
| Posted: 05 Jan 2015 05:17 PM PST  The 2015 Audi Q5 does exactly what a compact luxury crossover should: offer great acceleration, good handling, and impressive fuel efficiency—all with an only somewhat taller profile compared to a sport wagon or sedan. Less of a shrunken Q7 than a more spacious Audi wagon, the Audi Q5 has pretty proportions and a cabin that's... |
| Posted: 05 Jan 2015 05:07 PM PST  The Ford Escape is a modern and quite carlike crossover—rakish, sporty, and contemporary. A couple of model years ago, it made the transition from what had formerly been a very boxy form factor; and for anyone who's driven the Escape in its current form, there's really no looking back. The 2015 Escape carries over with only a few... |
| Posted: 05 Jan 2015 04:47 PM PST  The 2015 Ford C-Max Hybrid and C-Max Energi, just like the Toyota Prius and Prius V, quite easily identify you as one who's chosen a 'green vehicle.' They're both full hybrids, in a hybrid-exclusive, dedicated body style, and you won't find a non-hybrid C-Max (in the U.S.) to muddle the image. The C-Max is built on Ford Focus... |
| Posted: 05 Jan 2015 04:18 PM PST  The 2015 Audi TT straddles performance and pragmatism, and it doesn't seem to give up all that much on either count—whether you see it as a full-fledged sports car in profile, or as a more practical and fuel-efficient Coupe or Convertible in reality. While we're waiting for an all-new 2016 Audi TT to arrive, with its lightweight... |
| Posted: 05 Jan 2015 04:05 PM PST  Whizzy, turbocharged, and a lot more than a tuned-up economy car, the 2015 Subaru WRX is a left-brained alternative to the musclecars in in the mid-$20,000 range. While the 2015 Subaru WRX is fundamentally a practical, all-wheel-drive compact sedan, it's a true sports car at heart, and a way to get to 60 mph just as quickly as a V-8... |
| Posted: 05 Jan 2015 03:48 PM PST  True to its name, the Genesis has been the start of something entirely new at Hyundai. And now with the 2015 Hyundai Genesis, the automaker looks prepared to dive in with even more ambition—with a follow-up that's a luxury car in nearly every way. That said, both its badge and its pricing continue to distance it from most other... |
| Toyota Frees Up Patents, Pushes For Hydrogen Fuel-Cell Future Posted: 05 Jan 2015 01:00 PM PST  With its upcoming 2016 Mirai sedan, Toyota is betting big on hydrogen fuel-cell technology—and a scenario that will include the hydrogen infrastructure that makes vehicles like it a convenient, viable option for those who want to drive free of tailpipe emissions. Yet the costs are tremendous. In addition to the massive hit Toyota will take... |
| Posted: 05 Jan 2015 12:35 PM PST The 2016 Toyota Mirai will be the Japanese company's first hydrogen fuel-cell-powered car sold in North America when it goes on sale in the second half of 2015. Toyota strongly feels that hydrogen fuel cells, not lithium-ion batteries, will power the zero-emission vehicles it plans to build between now and 2050. You can view the Mirai... |
| OnStar Adds High-Tech Tools To Predict Maintenance Needs & Offer Insurance Discounts Posted: 05 Jan 2015 10:10 AM PST  America's biggest auto event -- the North American International Auto Show, better known as the Detroit Auto Show -- kicks off in just a few days, but General Motors is getting a jump on the fun by announcing two upgrades to its onboard infotainment service, OnStar. The first of those upgrades lets owners know which parts of their car are likely... |
| GM's 2014 Recall Tally Tops 30 Million With Recall Of Cadillac Escalade, Chevrolet Silverado, More Posted: 05 Jan 2015 09:34 AM PST  Last Wednesday, December 31, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration confirmed General Motors' final recall for 2014. Affecting more than 92,000 Cadillac, Chevrolet, and GMC vehicles around the globe, the recall pushes GM's total recalls for 2014 north of the 30.4 million mark. 2014 IN REVIEW Last year got off to a quiet start... |
| Posted: 05 Jan 2015 08:07 AM PST  The Mercedes SLK-Class is a two-seat hardtop convertible that's been a part of the German automaker's lineup since the 1996 model year. Pitched as the smaller, nimbler (and less expensive) alternative to the luxurious SL-Class, the SLK offers a wide range of powertrains, from a turbocharged four-cylinder to a 415-horsepower AMG V-8. It's also the... |
| Posted: 05 Jan 2015 08:01 AM PST  The Honda Pilot is a mid-size crossover SUV that wears a rather boxy, trucklike shape, but drives with the comfort and predictability of a family-friendly wagon--with or without optional all-wheel drive. The Pilot is built in Alabama, alongside the somewhat related Acura MDX; it also shares many components with the Honda Ridgeline pickup truck... |
| Posted: 05 Jan 2015 07:57 AM PST  The Nissan Xterra is a true sport-utility vehicle that shares its underpinnings with the Nissan Frontier pickup. Built in the U.S., the Xterra is one of the few SUVs to have more than all-weather traction in mind: it's truly a rugged utility vehicle that's perfectly at home off pavement, not a tall all-wheel-drive wagon like most crossovers. As a... |
| Posted: 05 Jan 2015 07:47 AM PST  The Hyundai Elantra is the South Korean automaker's compact sedan and hatchback. It's in its fourth generation on the U.S. market, and in its current form, it's won many honors, including the 2012 North American Car of the Year award. Today's Elantra has earned a place alongside our favorite cars in the class, the Ford Focus and Mazda 3. It also... |
