| Posted: 13 Feb 2015 09:54 AM PST  The Fiat 500 is a subcompact hatchback that revived the Fiat name in the U.S. market, fully a quarter-century after the brand had withdrawn from U.S. sales. While it's caught on reasonably well, the 500 model line--which includes Turbo, Abarth, and electric models, as well as an convertible-esque body style--has been joined by an unrelated, less... |
| Posted: 13 Feb 2015 09:52 AM PST  The Toyota Venza is a combination of crossover, hatchback, and wagon design. The mid-size, five-door hatchback Venza is roomy and functional, while providing a car-like ride and decent fuel efficiency. It is available with all-wheel drive and is most similar to the Honda Crosstour, while Venza rivals also include vehicles like the Audi Allroad... |
| Posted: 13 Feb 2015 09:19 AM PST  The Prius C is part of Toyota's expanded Prius lineup. It's the smallest and most affordable offering, a truncated hatchback sitting below the original liftback model. Thanks to its smaller size and equally miniaturized powertrain, the C manages fuel economy similar to that of its bigger brother, at 50 mpg combined, with both of them outdoing the... |
| Posted: 13 Feb 2015 09:17 AM PST  The Toyota Tacoma falls into the compact or mid-size pickup truck segment. Although these segments have been ignored by many automakers for some years, mid-size offerings now include the completely new Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon twins, as well as the Tacoma and Nissan Frontier. In the past, rivals have included the Ford Ranger and Dodge... |
| Posted: 13 Feb 2015 09:15 AM PST  Available in both coupe and convertible forms, the Nissan 370Z is a rear-drive sports car that traces its origins back to the 1969 Datsun 240Z. The 370Z provides sporty handling and styling at a relatively low price point, a combination that is matched by few other cars on the market. See our 2015 Nissan 370Z review for pricing with options... |
| Posted: 13 Feb 2015 09:10 AM PST  Though prices have climbed steadily since it was introduced in the U.S., the Nissan GT-R continues to represent a relative value in the super-performance car world. Using its twin-turbocharged, all-wheel-drive powertrain and advanced electronics, the GT-R delivers performance on par with supercars costing three times its price or more. Its design... |
| Posted: 13 Feb 2015 09:07 AM PST  The Quest is Nissan's minivan offering. It has been on sale in its current version since 2011, while the Quest nameplate dates back to 1993 in the U.S. market. With the Quest, Nissan offers a vehicle that can transport as many as seven passengers, offering a more sprightly driving feel than some of the more portly minivans on the road today--the... |
| Posted: 13 Feb 2015 09:03 AM PST  The Nissan Juke is one of the more unusual subcompact crossovers you can buy. Some have called its styling downright bizarre, while others have praised its very sophisticated powertrain. The Juke is nominally a crossover vehicle, since it offers all-wheel drive as an option for bad-weather states. But it's the unconventional styling, making it... |
| Posted: 13 Feb 2015 09:00 AM PST  The Nissan Sentra is a compact four-door sedan that's a rival for vehicles like the Toyota Corolla, Honda Civic, and Ford Focus. It has long been Nissan's compact standby in the marketplace and is consistently the brand's second-best-selling car, behind the mid-size Altima. Over three decades on sale, the Sentra has grown in size while amassing a... |
| Posted: 13 Feb 2015 08:55 AM PST  The GMC Canyon is a mid-size pickup truck that sits below the Sierra 1500 in the brand's lineup. The Canyon is completely new for the 2015 model year, returning to market after a two-model-year absence. Positioned as an alternative to full-size pickups, which some might find too large or cumbersome, the Canyon offers four-cylinder or V-6 power... |
| Posted: 13 Feb 2015 08:49 AM PST  The Chevrolet Colorado is a mid-size pickup truck, powered by four-cylinder and V-6 engines, and positioned as an alternative for those who don't want or need a truck quite as large as full-size models like the Chevy Silverado, Ford F-150, or Ram 1500. The 2015 model year marks the return of the Colorado to the U.S. market after a brief hiatus... |
| Posted: 13 Feb 2015 08:26 AM PST  The Chevrolet Tahoe is a three-row, full-size SUV that is the short-wheelbase companion to the Chevy Suburban. The Tahoe also shares its architecture with the Cadillac Escalade and GMC Yukon sport-utes, as well as the Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra pickups. The Tahoe's been a survivor because of its no-nonsense design and its durability. It's a... |
| Posted: 13 Feb 2015 08:18 AM PST  The Chevrolet Malibu is the all-american brand's mid-size sedan. In the past, the nameplate has been used on larger cars, with on-and-off use at Chevy since the 1960s. Today's Malibu is a front-driver with optional turbocharging and modern touchscreen controls. It's a rival for some of the swiftest selling vehicles on the market today, including... |
| Posted: 13 Feb 2015 08:16 AM PST  The Dodge Journey is a mid-size crossover SUV that gives families an alternative to similarly priced vehicles with only five seats. Some versions come with a third-row seat with two more spots for passengers--though the smaller the better, as you'll see if you try to squeeze in back. Competitors for the Journey are many and include the Ford... |
| Posted: 13 Feb 2015 08:13 AM PST  The Ford Flex, which has been on sale since the 2009 model year, occupies its own hard-to-define niche within the auto industry. Part crossover and part wagon, it has no direct competition and offers a more interesting alternative to the family minivan, with seating for seven. The Flex is built in Oakville, Ontario, alongside the mechanically... |
