| Posted: 19 Sep 2014 02:39 PM PDT  Just last year, the BMW 2-Series replaced the 1-Series coupe last year, bringing improved styling, better handling, and upgraded size and materials. And now the 2-Series adds just one major change for the 2015 model year: available all-wheel drive. Even though the 2-Series slots into the 1-Series’ former position in the BMW... |

According to a press release from the automaker, some of those vehicles may suffer from a fuel leak, which could increase the risk of fire.

| Feds Ramp Up Efforts To End Racial Discrimination Among Auto Lenders, NADA Balks Posted: 19 Sep 2014 08:18 AM PDT  Racial discrimination is illegal in the U.S., but we see instances of it all the time. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is worried about the effect that discrimination if having on car shoppers, and according to the Washington Post, the federal agency is now taking steps to end it. RACIAL DISCRIMINATION IN AMERICA: A VERY BRIEF OVERVIEW In... |

| Posted: 19 Sep 2014 06:33 AM PDT  The Nissan Pathfinder has been Nissan's mid-size utility vehicle since the 1980s. It's changed pretty radically over the decades, reincarnating itself from rugged SUV roots into a polished crossover vehicle capable of seating up to eight passengers. Once one of the toughest SUVs around, the Pathfinder's now one of the most carlike wagons on the... |
| Posted: 19 Sep 2014 06:32 AM PDT  The Nissan Altima is the automaker's four-door, mid-size family sedan. No longer available as a two-door coupe, the Altima is now one of the best-selling vehicles in its segment--one that includes the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord, not to mention the Ford Fusion and Hyundai Sonata. Over the two decades it's been on sale, the Altima has gradually... |
| Posted: 19 Sep 2014 06:31 AM PDT  The Nissan Rogue is a compact crossover that seats up to five passengers. A front-driver with a four-cylinder engine and a continuously variable transmission (CVT), the Rogue also makes all-wheel drive available. Competitors include the high-volume trio of Ford Escape, Honda CR-V, and Toyota RAV4, as well as the Mazda CX-5 and Subaru Forester... |
| Posted: 19 Sep 2014 06:28 AM PDT  The Nissan Versa is one of the most spacious subcompact cars on the market, with both the four-door sedan and the five-door hatchback Note model offering abundant interior volume. There's enough room in the back to fit two normal-sized adults and still have a comfortable ride. It's also one of the most affordable entries in the segment, and the... |
| Posted: 19 Sep 2014 06:20 AM PDT  The Nissan Murano is a five-seat crossover SUV that's being revamped for the 2015 model year. A companion to the bigger, seven-seat Pathfinder, the Murano is a car-based ute that's meant for on-road driving and all-weather traction, through standard front-wheel or optional all-wheel drive.

| Posted: 19 Sep 2014 06:11 AM PDT  The Audi A8 is the German automaker's flagship sedan. Offered with a choice of short- and long-wheelbase models, with all-wheel drive, and with drivetrains including a supercharged V-6, a twin-turbo V-8, a W-12, or a turbodiesel, it's an executive sedan on the order of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, BMW 7-Series, Lexus LS, and Jaguar XJ. The A8 has... |
| Posted: 19 Sep 2014 06:06 AM PDT  The Audi A7 is a stablemate of Audi's mid-size A6 luxury sedan. The A7 is a hatchback--one, we think, with a much more attractive look than its formal-rooflined sibling. While the A7 and A6 share their drivetrains and equipment in most models, the A7 gets one distinctive version that has no parallel: the ultra-powerful RS 7. The A7 competes with... |
| Posted: 19 Sep 2014 06:02 AM PDT  The Chrysler 200 is the American automaker's latest offering in the mid-size class--its rival for vehicles like the Honda Accord, Hyundai Sonata, Toyota Camry, and Ford Fusion, not to mention the Subaru Legacy, Nissan Altima, and Chevy Malibu and Mazda 6. The four-door, family-sedan class is one of the most competitive in the entire automotive... |
| Posted: 19 Sep 2014 06:02 AM PDT  The Chrysler 300 is a mid- to full-size sedan that sits at the top of the American automaker's range. The 300 comes standard with a six-cylinder engine and rear-wheel drive, but can be configured with all-wheel drive and a powerful V-8 engine. With that range of drivetrains, and with its crisp styling, the 300 isn't so much a rival for the... |
| Posted: 19 Sep 2014 05:56 AM PDT  The GMC Terrain is a sibling of the Chevy Equinox. It's a five-passenger crossover straddling the compact and mid-size segments--but compared to the big Acadia crossover and GMC's large Yukon SUV, it's the most carlike of the bunch. That makes the Terrain a rival for a big group of crossover utility vehicles, including the Toyota Venza and Subaru... |
| Posted: 19 Sep 2014 05:51 AM PDT  The Land Rover Range Rover is the vehicle that pioneered the luxury SUV. It's equally capable driving for miles where no road exists, and chauffeuring heads of state in up-armored class. Most owners would say that the Range Rover is without rival, but it has some fierce competition as a luxury good, sometimes mentioned in the same breath often... |
