| Posted: 17 Sep 2014 05:13 PM PDT  The Buick Regal is a four-door, mid-size sedan that rejoined the GM brand's lineup for the 2011 model year. Off and on, it had been a part of the Buick family for decades, in many different forms and sizes. Today, the Regal is the middle child in a three-sedan lineup that includes the large LaCrosse and the compact Verano. More so than those... |
| Posted: 17 Sep 2014 05:10 PM PDT  The Subaru BRZ is a compact sports car with rear-wheel drive. Its emphasis on lightweight and direct handling make it a suitable competitor against the Nissan 370Z and the Mazda Miata MX-5, and if you're pushing the limits of price, the Porsche Cayman. It's an unconventional addition to the Subaru lineup, as its only vehicle without all-wheel... |
| Posted: 17 Sep 2014 05:06 PM PDT  The Dodge Charger is one of Chrysler's big rear-wheel-drive (mostly) cars, and a relative of the Dodge Challenger two-door and the Chrysler 300. A mid-size, four-door sedan, the Charger also now has staked its claim as the fastest sedan in the world. Not the V-6 version, not the basic HEMI V-8--the car that launches itself into the stratosphere is... |
| Posted: 17 Sep 2014 01:20 PM PDT  The Infiniti Q70 is a four-door sport sedan that, until 2014, was known as the Infiniti M. Now renamed, but essentially the same car, it competes with the Audi A6, Jaguar XF, Lexus GS, Mercedes-Benz E-Class, and BMW 5-Series, and, in some edge cases, the Acura RLX, too. The company's new naming system is bound to generate confusion for a few years... |
| Posted: 17 Sep 2014 01:18 PM PDT  The Infiniti QX80 is a large sport utility vehicle with a distinctive design and a new name—it was formerly known as the QX56, but as of 2014, the new QX80 badge is official. The renaming strategy is meant to to dismantle the mix of letters and numbers and begin every model with Q (sedans) or QX (crossovers and SUVs). For more details and a... |
| Posted: 17 Sep 2014 01:17 PM PDT  The Infiniti QX70 name might not be familiar, but the car is, just under its former name, the FX. A design-focused and striking crossover, the QX70 line offers a combination of sporty driving and utility that continues to draw attention to the brand. The new naming convention means the model names no longer follow engine variants, too, so the... |
| Audi Nabs California's First Autonomous Car Permit Posted: 17 Sep 2014 08:02 AM PDT  Just one week after Audi announced plans to offer self-driving vehicles to the public, the company now says that it has received California's first permit to operate autonomous cars on public roads. Audi intends to make use of that permit very soon, because California regulations allowing autonomous vehicles to operate on state roads --... |
| Posted: 17 Sep 2014 08:00 AM PDT  The 2015 Mercedes-Benz GL is Mercedes-Benz's biggest SUV, a three-row luxury bus aimed squarely at Americans. In Fact, the GL is built right here in America, where it sells very well. It shares its platform and assembly line with the two-row M-Class SUV, offering similar powertrain choices and features. It's a luxury SUV without... |
| 2015 Mercedes SL, Nation’s Rudest Drivers, Will.i.am's Lexus NX: What’s New @ The Car Connection Posted: 17 Sep 2014 07:30 AM PDT  From The Car Connection: 2015 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class Review The 2015 Mercedes-Benz SL isn't a sports car, in the classic sense, but a very, very luxurious two-seat convertible that manages to blend nimble on-road behavior with seemingly effortless power. To quote its engineers, the SL is "the S-Class of sporty cars," providing a unique mix of... |
| Posted: 17 Sep 2014 07:29 AM PDT  The Audi A3 is a family of compact cars, ranging from a wagon, to a sedan, to a convertible. New this year, the A3 family is adding the latter two body styles, as well as some more efficient powertrains, as it becomes the anchor for the Audi lineup in the U.S. The A3 has competed with vehicles like the Lexus CT 200h, but with its fuller lineup... |
| Posted: 17 Sep 2014 07:14 AM PDT  The Chevrolet Impala is the bowtie brand's flagship, the biggest sedan it sells today. The Impala name has been in the Chevy lineup for more than fifty years, but today's version is a large four-door that shares its underpinnings with the Cadillac XTS and Buick LaCrosse. Other rivals include the Ford Taurus, Toyota Avalon, and Hyundai Azera. MORE... |
| Posted: 17 Sep 2014 07:04 AM PDT  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--has been joined by an unrelated, less popular 500L hatchback, and soon will get a... |
| Posted: 17 Sep 2014 06:57 AM PDT  The Porsche Cayenne is a luxury SUV with a strong focus on performance. It takes the standard SUV formula and adds in a lot of the driving character of Porsche's sports cars. It's the most versatile Porsche ever, and it actually has some true off-road ability. Today's lineup includes the Cayenne, Cayenne Diesel, Cayenne S, Cayenne Turbo S, and... |
| Posted: 17 Sep 2014 06:52 AM PDT  The Ford C-Max is a lineup of two hybrids--one plug-in, one not--that joined the Ford family in 2013. Both are compact hatchbacks that are intended to rival the Toyota Prius, in both standard and plug-in editions. To some degree, the C-Max also competes with the Chevrolet Volt range-extended electric car. MORE: Read our 2015 Ford C-Max review, and... |
| Posted: 17 Sep 2014 06:48 AM PDT  The BMW 6-Series is a coupe or convertible--and now, also, a sedan--that occupies a high rung in the BMW performance and luxury universe. Offered with either rear- or all-wheel drive, and a range of eight- and six-cylinder engines, it's a rival for vehicles like the Porsche 911, the Mercedes SL, and the new Mercedes AMG GT.
