| Cadillac Brings Semi-Autonomous Driving To GM Lineup In 2016 Posted: 08 Sep 2014 03:06 PM PDT  A year ago, Toyota announced plans to sell autonomous cars -- or at least semi-autonomous cars -- by the mid-2010s. Tesla expects to launch similar models around the same time, and Google could be operating on an even zippier production schedule. But what about Detroit? At least one domestic brand has confirmed that it will offer "intelligent and... |
| Posted: 08 Sep 2014 12:15 PM PDT  Put away the rumors and illustrations--the 2016 Jaguar XE is now reality. The 2016 XE has been revealed in London before it hits the auto-show circuit, starting with this month's Paris Auto Show. The XE is Jaguar's long-awaited BMW 3-Series fighter--though that undervalues the competition that's erupted around the 3er in just the past... |
| Posted: 08 Sep 2014 12:15 PM PDT The 2016 Jaguar XE will be the British automaker's new compact luxury sport sedan, when it goes on sale in the U.S. in 2016. The XE is the first of a new range of aluminum-bodied Jaguars to spring from a new modular architecture. After a reveal in London in September, the XE is headed for its first auto-show appearance at the 2014 Paris motor... |
| Posted: 08 Sep 2014 11:57 AM PDT  With the third-generation 2016 TT and TTS models that arrive for the U.S. next summer, Audi is poised to nudge its sporty coupe and roadster even closer to true sports-car territory. To that end, it’s looked to the R8 supercar for design influence, and then inward to the driver—with a more driver-centric, cockpit-like... |
| Tesla & Toyota Getting Back Together? Posted: 08 Sep 2014 09:04 AM PDT  For several years, Tesla Motors and Toyota had a thing going on. The affair started in 2010, when the two automakers began collaborating on the Toyota RAV4 EV. Last May, Tesla and Toyota announced that they were breaking up, but according to Auto News, Tesla CEO Elon Musk may soon try to rekindle the romance. The news coincides with the delivery... |
| Record Fuel Economy, Lower Blood Alcohol, 2015 Lexus RC F: What’s New @ The Car Connection Posted: 08 Sep 2014 07:30 AM PDT  From The Car Connection: 2015 Buick Verano Review The Buick Verano was a timely addition to GM's premium-brand lineup. Audi and Mercedes-Benz were cued up to deliver their own compact sedans, and both chose a sporty direction for their entry-level offerings. New Vehicle Fuel Economy Hits 25.8 MPG In August, Another All-Time High In October 2007... |
| Posted: 08 Sep 2014 07:02 AM PDT  The Cadillac ATS is the new entry-level vehicle in GM's luxury lineup. Launched as a compact four-door sedan in 2013, the ATS lineup acquired a second model, the ATS Coupe, for the 2015 model year. With brilliant handling and a good selection of features and powertrains, the ATS is a true rival for vehicles like the Audi A4, BMW 3-Series, Infiniti... |
| Posted: 08 Sep 2014 06:50 AM PDT  The Cadillac XTS is a full-size, four-door sedan that for now, caps the luxury brand’s sedan lineup. It won't be the "standard of the world" standard-bearer for long, as a new S-Class rival is in the works. But until then, the XTS serves as a handsome, capable alternative to vehicles like the Infiniti Q70 and Acura RLX. MORE: Read our 2015... |
| Posted: 08 Sep 2014 06:44 AM PDT  The Toyota Highlander is a mid- to full-size crossover SUV, and a great choice for families that won't consider a minivan. With seats for up to eight passengers and a choice of four-, six-cylinder and hybrid drivetrains, the Highlander tops out a Toyota crossover family that includes the Venza and RAV4. It offers up nearly as much interior space... |
| Posted: 08 Sep 2014 06:36 AM PDT  The Nissan Titan is a full-size pickup that's a rival for the toughest trucks from Ford, Chevy, GMC, and Ram. It shares some running gear with Nissan's full-size Armada SUV--as well as some of its frame with the mid-size Frontier truck. The Titan went on sale as Nissan's first full-size truck in the 2004 model year. It hasn't been the sales titan... |
| Posted: 08 Sep 2014 06:34 AM PDT  The Nissan Frontier is one of the two remaining mid-size pickup trucks--that is, until the 2015 model year is in full swing. Conceived at a time when compact and mid-size trucks were a bigger part of the market, the Frontier is still our choice over the older, less powerful Toyota Tacoma. That all could change later this year as GM introduces its... |
| Posted: 08 Sep 2014 06:29 AM PDT  The Nissan Leaf is a compact five-door hatchback that has become the world's best-selling electric car. The Leaf is powered by a lithium-ion battery pack and can be recharged from the electric grid in seven hours or less. As the first mass-market pure-electric car, the Leaf has become something of an icon since its introduction for the 2011 model... |
| Posted: 08 Sep 2014 06:28 AM PDT  The Nissan Armada is the automaker's biggest sport-utility vehicle. Capable of seating up to eight passengers and towing up to 9,100 pounds, the Armada is a spin-off of Nissan's full-size Titan pickup truck. Returning for the 2015 model year with only minor updates, the Armada is a rival for the Chevy Tahoe/Suburban, GMC Yukon, Ford Expedition... |
| Posted: 08 Sep 2014 05:49 AM PDT  The Jeep Wrangler is hard to miss, even after being on the road for such a long time. The convertible SUV is available in both short and long wheelbases, all while paying homage to the design of military Jeeps in WWII. There still aren't many competitors to the Wrangler, with the closest being the Nissan Xterra and the now-deceased Toyota FJ... |
| Posted: 08 Sep 2014 05:40 AM PDT  The Jeep Cherokee is one of the Chrysler brand's hallowed nameplates, but between 2001 and 2014, it laid dormant. With a history spanning back to the 1970s, the Cherokee is now back--rechristened as a crossover utility vehicle with a liberal dose of off-road capability (and no post-office edition, we'd add). The Cherokee is family-friendly this... |
