| Posted: 12 Feb 2015 01:48 PM PST  Just last year, the BMW 2-Series replaced the 1-Series Coupe, keeping its fundamental place in the automaker's lineup but bringing improved styling, better handling, and upgraded size and materials. And now, for 2015, there's more important news for the lineup: a convertible body style and all-wheel drive. The 2-Series slots right into... |
| Posted: 12 Feb 2015 10:45 AM PST  The Toyota Avalon isn't a lot of things: it isn't overtly sexy, it's not sporty by any stretch, and it doesn't beg you to own or drive it. What it does, is neatly grab all the folks who used to shop Buicks. It has tomb-like quiet down pat, it's comfortable as a pillow-top bed, and does a fair job of convincing us out of the... |
| Self-Driving Cars Could Slash Auto Sales By Nearly 50% Posted: 12 Feb 2015 08:38 AM PST  America's auto market is booming right now, but a study from the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute suggests that today's sky-high sales figures could plummet in the next decade, as autonomous cars start hitting the streets. To reach that conclusion, UMTRI's Brandon Schoettle and Michael Sivak analyzed data from the U.S... |
| New Honda Pilot, Chevy Equinox, Bolt EV: What’s New @ The Car Connection Posted: 12 Feb 2015 08:09 AM PST  From The Car Connection: 2016 Chevrolet Equinox Preview Over the past several years, the Chevrolet Equinox has been maintaining a sweet spot in crossover-vehicle popularity—and it’s paid off, in that it’s now Chevy’s second-best-selling vehicle in North America, after only the Silverado full-size pickups. And now the 2016... |
| Honda, Nissan, Toyota Join Forces To Create Hydrogen Network In Japan (But What Does That Mean?) Posted: 12 Feb 2015 08:04 AM PST  Honda, Nissan, and Toyota have announced plans to pool their resources and develop Japan's hydrogen infrastructure, which will serve the automakers' coming fleets of fuel-cell vehicles. Will the three succeed? And, if so, will they be able to translate their success to other countries like the U.S.? ALSO SEE: Self-Driving Cars Could Slash Auto... |
| Posted: 12 Feb 2015 07:40 AM PST  The Ford Transit Connect is offered in the U.S. as both a small commercial delivery van and a family-friendly tall wagon. Although smaller than the average family van, the wagon version can be considered as a minivan alternative. Ford hasn't sold a true minivan in more than a decade, but the latest Transit Connect comes close to that... |
| Posted: 12 Feb 2015 07:37 AM PST  The Ford Fusion continues to be a mid-size sedan favorite, with a stylish design and enjoyable driving feel. It’s a better driver’s car than the current Honda Accord, Toyota Camry, and Chevrolet Malibu. It has more drivetrain options than its competitors, too, including a plug-in hybrid, a trio of four-cylinders—two of them... |
| Posted: 12 Feb 2015 07:32 AM PST  The 2016 Honda Pilot abruptly changes course, away from the tall, super-upright, boxy-is-beautiful mantra that it’s carried forward since the original introduction of this model for 2003. Up until now, with the introduction of its fully redesigned, reengineered third generation, the Honda Pilot has bravely held tightly to such a... |
| Posted: 12 Feb 2015 07:21 AM PST  The Cadillac ELR is a range-extended electric luxury coupe, and the smallest car in the Cadillac lineup. It's also one of the priciest, with a base price of $75,000. It was launched for the 2014 model year to unimpressive sales, with fewer than half of the brand's dealers opting to even carry the plug-in electric coupe. After taking the 2015 model... |
| Posted: 12 Feb 2015 07:16 AM PST  The Toyota Prius V is a spin-off of the most successful hybrid vehicle in history, the Prius liftback. Sharing its badge and miserly powertrain with that car, but putting it all in a longer, wider, wagon-like body, the Prius V offers improved space for small families and their cargo. Added along with the smaller Prius C hatch for 2012, the V is... |
| Posted: 12 Feb 2015 07:11 AM PST  A full-size SUV that shares its truck chassis with the Tundra pickup, the Toyota Sequoia can carry up to eight passengers and tow many thousands of pounds. It's a strong alternative to really big utes like the Toyota Land Cruiser, but it's not quite up to the gold standard set by the new Chevy Tahoe and Suburban, and the GMC Yukon SUVs. See our... |
| Posted: 12 Feb 2015 07:07 AM PST  The Toyota Tundra replaced the mid-sized T100 as Toyota's big pickup more than 15 years ago, and ever since then it's struggled to gain market share among full-size trucks. Even after moving production to Texas and expanding the Tundra lineup, Toyota still finds itself playing an unaccustomed fourth fiddle to the full-size pickups from Ford, Ram... |
| Posted: 12 Feb 2015 07:02 AM PST  The Dodge Grand Caravan has been around in some form or another for more than three decades, and it's the direct descendant of the original minivan, the Dodge Caravan. Don't go looking for the standard Caravan for recent model years; it's grown into the Grand long-wheelbase model only, and has also lost its former all-wheel-drive option. But... |
| Posted: 12 Feb 2015 06:57 AM PST  The Mercedes-Benz S-Class is the brand’s flagship model, not to mention one of the most iconic luxury vehicles on the planet. Mercedes considers the S-Class to be the biggest and best example of luxury that the brand can build. Redesigned for 2014, the S-Class competes with the Audi A8, BMW 7-Series, Jaguar XJ, and Lexus LS. The lineup once... |
| Posted: 12 Feb 2015 06:51 AM PST  The 2017 Jaguar XE is a new compact luxury sedan on the horizon from Jag. It will be the British automaker's entry-level model when it goes on sale in the U.S. in 2016. The XE is the first of a range of aluminum-bodied Jaguars to spring from a new modular architecture. After being revealed in London in September, the XE had its first auto-show... |
