| 2016 Acura MDX Adds Nine-Speed Automatic, More Safety-Tech Features Posted: 04 Feb 2015 03:32 PM PST  It’s been barely two years since Acura made its MDX mid-size crossover a little more sport-wagon influenced, with a warmer, more refined cabin and a much-upgraded active-safety and technology feature set. Now for 2016, with a model that arrives to dealerships beginning this week, the MDX gets another round of updates. Although cosmetically... |
| Midlife Crisis Cars: Men Want Black & Sporty, Women Want Red & Practical Posted: 04 Feb 2015 10:39 AM PST  You see it all the time: middle-aged men (and occasionally, women) driving sleek, sexy sports cars or brawny motorcycles. The disconnect between the drivers' midlife gravitas and the vehicles' juvenile showiness can be jarring. Exactly why people feel compelled to buy cars like these when they reach middle age is a complicated issue. Some seem... |
| Posted: 04 Feb 2015 08:14 AM PST  BMW launched the 4-Series lineup for 2014, separating the former 3-Series coupe and convertible from the rest of the offerings and giving them their own higher number and differentiated styling. The 4-Series family quickly grew to include a model that is a two-door in name only, the 4-Series Gran Coupe hatchback sedan, as well as M4 variants of... |
| Posted: 04 Feb 2015 08:05 AM PST  The BMW 3-Series is a compact luxury car. While it's primarily known in the U.S. as a sport sedan today, it's been offered in a wide range of body styles, ranging from coupes and convertibles to hatchbacks and wagons. To many driving enthusiasts, it's often assessed as the quintessential BMW, an elemental representation of the dynamic... |
| Posted: 04 Feb 2015 08:02 AM PST  After a long absence, Chevrolet returned to the rear-drive sedan business in 2014 with the SS sedan. This four-door has the chops to back up its performance-oriented name and has some calling it the Corvette sedan many have always dreamed of. It's been nearly two decades since Chevy had a rear-drive sedan in its showrooms, and it's acquiring this... |
| Posted: 04 Feb 2015 07:56 AM PST  The TT is Audi's small sports car. It is offered in both 2+2 coupe and two-seat convertible body styles. Base cars are called TT; when offered, the sportier version has gone by the name TTS; and an extra-powerful version dubbed TT RS was offered for the 2012 and 2013 model years. Derived from Audi's compact-car lineup, the TT competes with cars... |
| Posted: 04 Feb 2015 07:51 AM PST  The Audi R8 is a mid-engined, two-seat sports car with dashing, if somewhat reserved, looks and impressive performance. The Audi R8 shares some of its DNA with sister company Lamborghini, but the overall product is distinctly German—and surprisingly practical for what amounts to a supercar. Carried over virtually unchanged for the 2015 model... |
| Posted: 04 Feb 2015 07:46 AM PST  The Audi Q5 is a five-passenger crossover vehicle that's become one of the best sellers in the German automaker's lineup. It's been on the market for seven model years now, and it's still a strong draw, thanks to excellent interior space and refinement, good handling, and a pair of green drivetrain options. Somewhat related to the Audi A4 sedan... |
| Posted: 04 Feb 2015 07:43 AM PST  The Audi A6 has been the German automaker's mid-size, five-passenger sedan for more than two decades. Its main competition comes from vehicles like the Cadillac CTS, Mercedes-Benz E-Class, and BMW 5-Series. Joined for parts of its life by the higher-performance and sportier S6 sedan, the A6 range has also included the Avant wagon and--briefly--the... |
| Posted: 04 Feb 2015 07:38 AM PST  The Audi A5 is the German automaker's mid-size two-door model line. It's available as either a convertible (dubbed the Cabriolet) or a hardtop coupe, and forms the basis of the sporty supercharged S5 as well as the RS5, with its powered-up V-8 drivetrain. The A5 and its variants are members of the family of vehicles that also includes the A4 and... |
| Posted: 04 Feb 2015 07:34 AM PST  The Audi A4 is a mid-size luxury sedan that's become the German automaker's best-selling vehicle. For a while, it was the entry-level vehicle in Audi's American lineup, although today the brand offers the compact A3 family of sedans, hatchbacks, and cabriolets below it. The current A4 has been on the market since 2009 and is due for a revamp by... |
| Posted: 04 Feb 2015 07:30 AM PST  The Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class is a compact crossover utility vehicle based on the C-Class sedan's underpinnings. It received a significant update in 2013 and was joined at the small end of the three-pointed star's crossover lineup by the compact GLA-Class for 2015. That said, the GLK can still be considered the smallest true crossover of the bunch... |

With Roam Delivery, mail carriers can use a... |
| Posted: 04 Feb 2015 07:24 AM PST  Like the CLA-Class, the Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class is a spin-off of the A-Class hatch that is not available in the U.S. The GLA trades the slinky sedan shape for a hatchback/wagon body that provides a unique interpretation of the contemporary crossover vehicle. Like the CLA, the GLA is available with all-wheel drive, which completes the... |
