| Posted: 20 Sep 2014 11:58 AM PDT  The Toyota Corolla has been the best-selling compact car in the U.S. for much of the last two decades. Entirely redesigned for 2014, it continues its role as highly dependable, not-very-exciting, carefully packaged transportation for sensible buyers looking for reliability over styling flair, sporty roadholding, or luxury features. See our 2015... |
| Posted: 20 Sep 2014 11:58 AM PDT  The Honda Fit that has been thoroughly revamped for the 2015 model year. A hatchback in the subcompact class, the Fit is a rival for vehicles like the Chevy Sonic, Ford Fiesta, Mazda 2, and Hyundai Accent.

| Posted: 20 Sep 2014 11:55 AM PDT  The Infiniti is a compact luxury crossover vehicle that recently underwent a name change. When it made its debut almost a decade ago, it was known as the EX35, later to become the EX37. Now, as the result of a massive change in Infiniti's naming strategy, it's become the QX50. What is presently Infiniti's smallest crossover utility vehicle... |
| Posted: 20 Sep 2014 11:37 AM PDT  The Honda Odyssey is a minivan that can seat up to eight passengers. It's one of the best choices in the minivan segment, a step ahead of rivals like the Nissan Quest and Kia Sedona--and on par with the Toyota Sienna, Dodge Grand Caravan, and Chrysler Town & Country. As minivans go, the Odyssey has the best road manners, even though buyers in... |
| Posted: 20 Sep 2014 11:33 AM PDT  Well known since 2000 as one of the leading compact crossovers, the Ford Escape is now a thoroughly modern vehicle in its third year of the current generation. Its predecessors were boxy and outdated after their 12-year run, despite two rounds of updating, but the latest Escape offers sleek and modern styling, more fuel-efficient powertrains... |
| Posted: 20 Sep 2014 11:30 AM PDT  The Ford Explorer is one of the best-known SUV models in North America. In its latest iteration, it's moved away from its truck-based roots--dating back to 1991--and become a large, comfortable, seven-seat family crossover utility vehicle with modern technology and a more car-like driving feel.

| Posted: 20 Sep 2014 10:58 AM PDT  The Ford Focus is the American automaker's global best-seller, a compact car that's offered in hatchback and sedan form. A challenger for the Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla, and the Chevrolet Cruze, the Focus was launched in its current form in the 2012 model year, and has been updated for the 2015 model year.

| Posted: 20 Sep 2014 10:42 AM PDT  The Volvo V60 marks the return of the traditional Volvo wagon back into the U.S. market. It showed up at dealerships very early in 2014 as a 2015 model. The V60 is far from the boxy Volvo wagons of the Seventies and Eighties. Instead, it's now a low, sleek sporty wagon version of the current mid-size Volvo S60 sedan, which was launched in 2010 as... |
| Posted: 20 Sep 2014 10:41 AM PDT  The Volvo S80 is a large, subtle, and unassuming luxury sedan that place safety and comfort above all else. It competes with the Lincoln MKS, Acura RLX, and the Cadillac XTS. Read our 2015 Volvo S80 review for the latest on prices, specifications, and gas mileage information. The first generation of the S80 sedan was built from 1999 through 2006... |
| Posted: 20 Sep 2014 10:37 AM PDT  The Volvo S60 is a mid-size sporty luxury sedan that competes with a trio of German luxury sedans—the Audi A4, BMW 3-Series, and Mercedes-Benz C Class—and arguably with the Cadillac ATS, although we're not sure how many buyers actually cross-shop the brash American luxury brand and the sensible Swedish one. You could also call the... |
| Posted: 20 Sep 2014 10:34 AM PDT  The Volvo XC60 is a luxury crossover vehicle that's offered with either front- or all-wheel drive. It's a mid-size vehicle, though by American standards it leans a little toward the compact end of the spectrum. A more contemporary choice than Volvo's aged XC90 (which is replaced for the 2015 model year), the XC60 is a rival for vehicles like the... |
| Posted: 20 Sep 2014 10:32 AM PDT  The Volvo XC70 is a luxury wagon that's been a part of the Swedish automaker's lineup for decades. It has just two true rivals in the market: the Subaru Outback and the Audi Allroad. That's because it's not quite a crossover vehicle--it's more a station wagon with some light cladding and all-weather ability, and a little extra ground clearance... |
| Lexus RC, Fiesta and 500L Recalls, Audi's Self-Driving Permit: The Week In Reverse Posted: 20 Sep 2014 05:31 AM PDT  Lexus has a new two-door coupe, and this week we drove the 2015 RC lineup for the first time. Our first take? The base V-6 two-door's a pleasant luxury car, and it could be the best-looking Lexus yet. But performance fans are going to skip over the standard versions and race right into the 467-horsepower RC F, the performance model that's within a... |
| Posted: 20 Sep 2014 04:17 AM PDT  The Toyota Avalon seems to have taken up where Buick left off, and that's fine by us. While the Buick brand is going after smaller vehicles and crossovers, and attempting to inject some youth into its lineup, the Avalon quietly holds to the rolling-couch philosophy abandoned by the American brand's larger cars. It's not sporty looking... |
| Posted: 20 Sep 2014 04:15 AM PDT  The Kia Rio has never been among the top-selling subcompacts, but that now has more to do with its competition than with any of its own flaws or omissions. The latest iteration offers crisp, stylish European design; a cleanly styled, feature-packed interior; and an agreeable, fuel-efficient engine. The Honda Fit has packaging down a... |
