The Car Connection


Toyota Sequoia

Posted: 09 Sep 2014 03:29 PM PDT

A full-size SUV that shares its truck chassis with the Tundra pickup, the Toyota Sequoia can carry up to eight passengers and tow thousands of pounds. It's a strong alternative to really big utes like the Toyota Land Cruiser, but it's not quite up to the gold standard set by the new Chevy Tahoe and Suburban, and the GMC Yukon SUVs. See our full...

Toyota Tundra

Posted: 09 Sep 2014 03:14 PM PDT

The Toyota Tundra replaced the mid-sized T100 as Toyota's biggest pickup 15 years ago, and ever since then it's struggled to carve out a bigger niche. Even after moving production to Texas and expanding the Tundra lineup, Toyota still finds itself playing an unaccustomed fourth fiddle to the full-size pickups from Ford, Ram, Chevy, and GMC.

Dodge Grand Caravan

Posted: 09 Sep 2014 02:58 PM PDT

The Dodge Grand Caravan has been around in some form or another for more than three decades, and it's the direct descendant of the original minivan, the Dodge Caravan. Don't go looking for the standard Caravan for recent model years; it's grown into a Grand-style long-wheelbase model only, and it's lost its former all-wheel-drive option. But it's...

GMC Sierra Vs. Ram 1500: Compare Trucks

Posted: 09 Sep 2014 01:43 PM PDT

Full-size pickup trucks draw some of the most loyal vehicle shoppers of all. But now that the perennially popular GMC Sierra and Ram 1500 have both recently been refreshed, is there reason for the faithful to switch sides? At first glance, the styling race is the Ram's to lose. The latest GMC Sierra has some starch in its sheetmetal--more than the...

2014 Infiniti QX60 Hybrid: Quick Drive

Posted: 09 Sep 2014 12:49 PM PDT

Heavy, family sized three-row crossover vehicles like the 2014 Infiniti QX60 probably don’t come to mind as particularly fuel-efficient picks—even when they have the Hybrid badge. But considering the very reason for being for hybrids—to recapture some of the energy in braking and coasting, and deliver it back when...

2016 Mercedes-Benz AMG GT Preview

Posted: 09 Sep 2014 11:30 AM PDT

Mercedes-Benz has revealed a new flagship sports car, and the successor to the SLS AMG GT gullwing coupe. Called the 2016 Mercedes-AMG GT, it sheds weight and takes more of a purist approach than its predecessor. In design, the AMG GT offers a smoother, more modern design that decidedly steps away from the sharp edges and excessive...

2007 Dodge Grand Caravan Investigated For Stalling

Posted: 09 Sep 2014 09:42 AM PDT

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has launched an investigation of the 2007 Dodge Grand Caravan (similar to the 2005 model pictured above). According to an agency bulletin, several owners have reported incidents of stalling in the minivan. NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation has received a total of eight complaints about the...

It's part of a promotion for the...

2016 Jaguar XE, 2015 Nissan GT-R, Cadillac Autonomous Car: What’s New @ The Car Connection

Posted: 09 Sep 2014 07:30 AM PDT

From The Car Connection: 2015 Nissan GT-R Review The Nissan GT-R ranks as one of the world's top-performing production cars, with a seemingly brutish character that hides a surprising level of capability, and accessible performance—performance that just keeps getting better by the year. Ever since it arrived on the market in 2009, it's been...

2015 BMW 5-Series

Posted: 08 Sep 2014 07:03 PM PDT

As the quintessential mid-size premium sport sedan, the 5-Series once held special sort of iron grip on enthusiasts' hearts and minds. While that slipped in the last decade, to some degree, as excellent models like the Cadillac CTS, Jaguar XF, and Audi A6 (and A7) eased in, BMW has smartly turned back the clock just a bit with the...

2015 Nissan GT-R

Posted: 08 Sep 2014 06:40 PM PDT

The Nissan GT-R ranks as one of the world's top-performing production cars, with a seemingly brutish character that hides a surprising level of capability, and accessible performance—performance that just keeps getting better by the year. Ever since it arrived on the market in 2009, it's been a class of one. And now the 2015 GT-R...

2015 BMW X1

Posted: 08 Sep 2014 05:56 PM PDT

The BMW X1 has been a known quantity for years in Europe; but it's a relatively recent add to the U.S. market. And it seems like BMW's perfect solution to nailing down style-savvy urbanites with an occasional hankering for off-pavement travel. That is, as long as they're the kind who won't pay too much attention to the price. Thanks to...

2017 Jaguar XE Preview

Posted: 08 Sep 2014 12:15 PM PDT

Put away the rumors and illustrations--the 2017 Jaguar XE is now reality. The 2017 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...
