| Posted: 05 Feb 2015 06:30 PM PST  The 2015 BMW i8 is one of the few cars that draws attention everywhere it goes. With striking "bird wing" doors that pivot up and away, above the roof, the sleek and sexy two-seat sport coupe blends classic design cues with some unexpectedly cutting-edge technology. It's a sport coupe for a new, greener age: When's the last time such a... |
| Toyota Corolla Vs. Hyundai Elantra: Compare Cars Posted: 05 Feb 2015 02:06 PM PST  Over the past several years, the Hyundai Elantra and Toyota Corolla couldn't have been more emblematic of how far the Korean automakers have come in a short time, while some long-respected Japanese brands have towed an especially conservative line. Yet with the last full redesign of the Corolla, for 2014, Toyota gave its compact sedan a design... |
| GM's Total Bill For 2014 Recalls Is $4.1 Billion: What About 2015? Posted: 05 Feb 2015 11:29 AM PST  2014 may go down in history as the Year of the Recall. Every time you refreshed your favorite news feed, it seemed like another automaker was asking owners to bring in vehicles for service. But among all the car companies doing business in the U.S., none had as many recalls last year as General Motors. The unpleasantness began in February, as GM... |
| BMW X3 Vs. Audi Q5: Compare Cars Posted: 05 Feb 2015 10:51 AM PST  It doesn't take any stretch of the imagination to understand why vehicles like the Audi Q5 and BMW X3 are so popular today. Compact luxury crossovers are testimonials to economic realities, as families have turned to more sensibly sized vehicles with less potential for burning up the budget when gas prices rise again; and they're more manageable... |
| 2014-2015 MINI Cooper Recalled For Weight Misstatement Posted: 05 Feb 2015 09:55 AM PST  BMW is recalling more than 13,000 MINI Cooper vehicles from the 2014 and 2015 model years. The issue? The cars' stated carrying carrying capacity is incorrect. The good news is, the problem appears to weigh (sorry) in consumers' favor. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the MINI Cooper's tire information placard lists... |
| Posted: 05 Feb 2015 08:59 AM PST  Once the entry-level Mercedes model in the U.S., the C-Class has now grown up and out of that role and is now a very adult car that looks and acts like a smaller version of the brand's S-Class flagship. Offered as a luxury two-door coupe and a four-door sedan, the C-Class takes on competitors such as the Cadillac ATS and CTS, the Audi A4 and A5... |
| Posted: 05 Feb 2015 08:57 AM PST  The Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class is the first front-wheel-drive car offered by the brand in the U.S. and somewhat of a spiritual successor to the compact 190E. It is derived from the A-Class hatchback, which is offered in other markets. The CLA has a coupe-like sedan body, which borrows some cues from the larger CLS sedan. The CLA returns for the 2015... |
| Posted: 05 Feb 2015 08:53 AM PST  The Mercedes-Benz GL-Class is a full-size sport-utility vehicle with three rows of seating for up to seven passengers. The GL-Class is priced from the high $50,000 range to above and beyond $100,000. It is assembled in the U.S., at a Mercedes factory in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Given its price, size, and appointments, the GL-Class--and the hot-rod... |
| Posted: 05 Feb 2015 08:46 AM PST  Alfa Romeo dropped off the radar of American drivers back in the early 1990s when it withdrew from sales, taking the ancient Spider convertible and slow-selling 164 sedan with it. This new 4C aims to erase the bad memories and create a set of exciting new ones, while also bringing the brand to a generation that has no experience with it at... |
| Posted: 05 Feb 2015 08:39 AM PST  The Infiniti QX60 is a large luxury crossover SUV that was initially launched as the Infiniti JX. The QX60 has three rows of seating, a choice of V-6 and hybrid drivetrains, and available all-wheel drive. It's a rival for vehicles like the Volvo XC90, Acura MDX, and two-row Lexus RX.

| Posted: 05 Feb 2015 08:36 AM PST  The Volkswagen Tiguan is a compact crossover that slots into VW's U.S. lineup beneath the larger Touareg SUV. The Tiguan blends Golf-based mechanicals with a tall-wagon body and available all-wheel drive, for an all-purpose package that delivers moderate off-road capability with all-weather traction. The Tiguan is a rival for vehicles like the... |
| Posted: 05 Feb 2015 08:32 AM PST  The Volkswagen Beetle is one of the best-selling and most recognizable nameplates in the world. With a history going on 75 years now, the Beetle has emerged in two distinct eras--the Bugs of the pre-1998 era, and the completely new Beetles that were inspired by the original, but based on Golf running gear. Today's Golf was introduced in 2012 as... |
| Posted: 05 Feb 2015 08:29 AM PST  The Volkswagen Touareg is a mid-size SUV that currently heads Volkswagen's crossover lineup. The Touareg is surprisingly capable, even after having some of its off-road gear removed in the second generation. It has a softer, car-like appearance that lends itself to being easily misunderstood. The Touareg competes with the Honda Pilot, Jeep Grand... |
| Posted: 05 Feb 2015 08:17 AM PST  The Volkswagen CC is a spin-off of the last generation of VW Passat sedans. A four-door with frameless windows, it's dubbed by VW as a "coupe-like sedan"--a car with a sleeker roofline and more visual zest than a standard four-door. In that way, it's a follower in the trail blazed by the Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class, a so-called four-door coupe. The CC... |
| Posted: 05 Feb 2015 08:15 AM PST  The VW Jetta is a compact four-door sedan. Historically it has been a companion to the hatchback Volkswagen Golf family, but the two diverged in recent generations. The current Jetta is a vehicle developed with American shoppers in mind--since we're the biggest market for the sedan. With its firm handling and range of eco-friendly models, the... |
