| Posted: 06 Jan 2015 05:11 PM PST  The 2015 Ford Fusion is proof that good design and family-friendly intentions aren't always mutually exclusive. It remains one of the most attractive vehicles in its segment, and it's quite spacious, comfortable, and full-featured. Even two years after its redesign, none but the Mazda 6 carry the same kind of daring image that you find... |
| Posted: 06 Jan 2015 04:58 PM PST  The Lexus IS was completely redesigned just last year, but for 2015 it gains a handful of updates—including new LED fog lamps, Siri Eyes Free from Apple, and nearly available piano black interior trim. We still haven't seen a refreshed version of the IS C convertible, which carries over again into the 2015 model year. But the new... |
| Posted: 06 Jan 2015 04:45 PM PST  The Ford Flex takes a decidedly different approach to design than nearly every other comparable crossover wagon. With flat lines, creased sheetmetal, and boxy styling, it stands out as a much-welcomed about-face on today's mainstream; and it's a result that actually proves to provide more comfort and space than many of its raked-roofed... |
| Posted: 06 Jan 2015 04:31 PM PST  The Volkswagen Golf was one of the first small hatchbacks to transcend humble economy-car roots, but it's by no means a solo act as a class benchmark today. Now, the Mazda 3 and Ford Focus have nudged their way onto that particular stage, while Honda, Hyundai and Kia still take occasional swings at the Golf and its performance variant... |
| Posted: 06 Jan 2015 04:13 PM PST  The 2015 Audi Q7 is a smart compromise. Compared to other big crossovers, it trades off some off-road prowess in the name of on-the-road responsiveness and comfort; and while it's not a serious off-roader, it's one of the most luxurious, family-friendly vehicles you'll find that can handle deep snow. There's a lot to be desired here... |
| Posted: 06 Jan 2015 03:53 PM PST  The 2015 Hyundai Sonata is a completely different vehicle, fully redesigned and now in its seventh generation (the third built in Alabama). Once again, it competes against a squadron of well-qualified family four-doors—Toyota Camry, Honda Accord, Nissan Altima, Ford Fusion, and Chevy Malibu—as well as the VW Passat, Kia... |
| 2015 Detroit Auto Show Preview: Trucks, Performance Models Dominate Posted: 06 Jan 2015 03:29 PM PST  The North American International Auto Show (NAIAS), or the Detroit Auto Show as it’s widely called, isn’t just the first major auto show of 2015; it’s typically the biggest, most newsworthy show of the year for the U.S. market—and arguably for the world. The industry is heading into the year on a high, with sales surging to... |
| Posted: 06 Jan 2015 08:44 AM 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: 06 Jan 2015 08:39 AM PST  Toyota's Avalon is its 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: 06 Jan 2015 08:35 AM PST  The Toyota RAV4 is a five-passenger crossover wagon that is among the most popular compacts in its 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... |
| Posted: 06 Jan 2015 08:27 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: 06 Jan 2015 08:22 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: 06 Jan 2015 08:18 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. Now, as the result of a massive change in Infiniti's naming strategy, it's become the QX50. Infiniti's littlest crossover has wide-ranging competition... |
| Posted: 06 Jan 2015 08:08 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. MORE: Read our 2015 Honda Fit review and compare the Fit to its competitors The first-generation Honda Fit was only a two-year car in the U.S., sold... |
| OnStar's AtYourService Tells Drivers About Nearby Deals, Parking, Hotel Rooms, And More Posted: 06 Jan 2015 08:04 AM PST  Yesterday, we told you about some new features that will soon come to General Motors' OnStar, including predictive diagnostics and driving assessment. But as Steve Jobs used to say, there's one more thing: OnStar is also getting a shopping service that connects drivers with nearby deals, parking, hotel rooms, and other offerings. In keeping with... |
