| Posted: 09 Jan 2015 09:22 AM PST  The Cadillac Escalade is one of the largest SUVs on the market, available in either standard or long-wheelbase editions--just like its mechanical cousins, the GMC Yukon and Yukon XL and the Chevy Tahoe and Suburban. More refined now than in past generations, the Escalade is a rival for the Mercedes-Benz GL-CLass, Lincoln Navigator, and Infiniti... |
| Posted: 09 Jan 2015 09:17 AM PST  The Mitsubishi i-MiEV is a subcompact hatchback that's powered by electricity alone. It can travel up to 62 miles on one charge, and it's even smaller than a MINI Cooper. In short, it has a lot of inherent design choices that limit its appeal.

| Posted: 09 Jan 2015 09:12 AM PST  The Mitsubishi Mirage is one of the smallest vehicles for sale in the U.S. market, and it's also one of the least expensive new vehicles you can buy. The Mirage nameplate was first used in the U.S. back in 2002, and it made a return for 2014 on this subcompact five-door hatch. It's the first new model for the product-starved brand in a long while... |
| Posted: 09 Jan 2015 09:09 AM PST  The Honda Crosstour is somewhat of an oddball in the Honda lineup. Originally called Accord Crosstour, it continues to be based on the last-generation of Honda's mid-size sedan but has lost the Accord appellation to further separate it from today's updated model. The Crosstour is essentially a mid-size hatchback with a sloped tail that offers... |
| Posted: 09 Jan 2015 09:03 AM PST  The Kia Rio is a subcompact model offered as both a five-door hatchback and a four-door sedan. It's Kia's least expensive and smallest model for the U.S. market. Competitors include the Ford Fiesta, Honda Fit, and Toyota Yaris, among others. The current generation, which was launched in 2012, significantly boosted the Rio's refinement, style, and... |
| Posted: 09 Jan 2015 08:59 AM PST  As the second car sold by Silicon Valley startup Tesla Motors [NSDQ:TSLA], the Model S is the rarest of rarities: a competitive luxury sport sedan engineered, designed, tested and built by a carmaker that's only been in business 10 years. The Model S remains the longest-range regular-production battery-electric car in the world, and that holds... |
| Posted: 09 Jan 2015 08:47 AM PST  The Ford Edge is a five-passenger crossover in the mid-size segment. It's slotted below the Flex and Explorer utes, and above the Escape in Ford's family-utility-vehicle lineup. The Edge competes with a wide variety of vehicles, such as the Toyota Venza, the Chevy Equinox and GMC Terrain twins, and the Nissan Murano. It is directly related to the... |
| Posted: 09 Jan 2015 08:43 AM PST  The Acura TLX is a new offering from Honda's luxury arm as of the 2015 model year. A replacement for the TL and TSX mid-size sedans, the TLX puts Acura's four-door efforts on a more solid footing, fitting in well with a lineup that includes the MDX and RDX crossovers, the ILX compact sedan, the larger RLX, and the returning NSX sports car. (It... |
| Posted: 09 Jan 2015 08:38 AM PST  The Porsche Panamera is one of the vehicles from the "other" side of the German automaker's showrooms. It's no 911, Cayman, or Boxster--but alongside the Cayenne and Macan SUVs, the Panamera hatchback makes a compelling argument that Porsche performance can take on all kinds of forms. A high-performance luxury five-door, the Panamera joins... |
| Posted: 09 Jan 2015 08:34 AM PST  The Porsche Cayman is a beautifully styled, sharp-handling sports car. The two-door sports car has a luxurious interior and lots of in-car technology, but it puts a clear emphasis on the driving experience. The Cayman is a rival for the Alfa Romeo 4C, Chevrolet Corvette, Infiniti Q60, and the Nissan 370Z. MORE: Read our 2014 Porsche Cayman... |
| Posted: 09 Jan 2015 08:31 AM PST  The Lincoln MKC is a compact five-seat crossover vehicle that has some underpinnings in common with the Ford Escape. To distinguish it from the less expensive Ford, the new Lincoln gets its own styling, an interior complete with a pushbutton transmission, and one turbocharged engine not offered in the Escape. With the MKC, Lincoln has its first... |
| Posted: 09 Jan 2015 08:26 AM PST  The Buick Verano is a small four-door sedan that shares its architecture and some running gear with the Chevy Cruze. It's a more finely finished rendition, though, with more premium features and its own four-cylinder engines--with the requisite higher sticker price. The Verano was introduced for the 2012 model year. Few major changes have been... |
| Posted: 09 Jan 2015 08:03 AM PST  The Buick LaCrosse is a mid-size four-door sedan that has a foot in both the luxury and mainstream worlds. The base car is a mild-hybrid four-cylinder, the upgrade a powerful V-6. All-wheel drive is an option on six-cylinder models. The Buick's primary competition comes from sedans like the Acura TLX, Volvo S60, Lincoln MKZ, and Lexus ES. MORE... |
| Posted: 09 Jan 2015 07:58 AM PST  The Buick Enclave is a full-size, three-row luxury crossover that can seat up to seven passengers. It's been a part of the Buick lineup since the 2007 model year. Spun off from the same architecture as the Chevy Traverse and GMC Acadia, the Enclave has a sleeker look and more luxury features than its companions, though their powertrains and safety... |
| Posted: 09 Jan 2015 07:52 AM PST  The Dodge Challenger is a muscle car rival for the Ford Mustang and Chevy Camaro. A big two-door, four-seater, the Challenger wears a coupe roofline--but it's big enough in back to best some sedans we know. The Challenger does one of the best impressions of vintage muscle cars, with its broad hood and high decklid. For 2015, the Challenger sees... |
