| Chevrolet Aveo The Most Toxic New Car? Posted: 13 Nov 2009 02:41 PM PST  Do you avoid drinking out of clear plastic water bottles, using antiperspirants with aluminum, or cooking in non-stick pans? Use a water purifier and ionizer everywhere you go, always buy organic, mind your cold-water fish list, and have your tap water checked yearly? If so, we've found either a new source of anxiety in your life or a handy ..

| Mercedes-Benz May Launch Smaller Cars In U.S. By 2012 Posted: 13 Nov 2009 10:15 AM PST  Readers of a certain age will recall a time when America's roadways were clogged with Gremlins, Rabbits, and other fuel-efficient minicars. That historical moment was caused by spiking fuel prices in the 1970s (remember when Jimmy Carter told everyone to put on a snappy cardigan?), which rear-ended a recession in the early 1980s. If you've ..

| 2010 Subaru Legacy: Better Bumpers Cut Repair Costs, Says IIHS Posted: 13 Nov 2009 09:24 AM PST  The stylish and delicate-looking front and rear bumper areas of most new vehicles are, just as they appear, damage-prone and expensive to fix, even from minor parking-lot-speed impacts. However the new 2010 Subaru Legacy fares well; in the latest round of bumper evaluations from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), it gets one of ..

| The MINI E Isn't Quite Ready For Its Close-Up Posted: 13 Nov 2009 09:10 AM PST  Results from field tests of the MINI E have finally come in, and sadly, the EV didn't exactly pass with flying colors. Aside from braking, handling, and other problems that our own John Voelcker discovered during his time behind the wheel, BMW learned that the biggest threat to the MINI E might be range-anxiety -- even with the car's ..

| We're Gonna Walk Down To 'Electric Avenue' (With Earplugs) Posted: 13 Nov 2009 08:20 AM PST  Halloween is done and Thanksgiving is looming, so that can only mean one thing: just two more months until the 2010 Detroit auto show! This year's gathering will see a new display area for up to 20 electric vehicles -- many of which come from smaller companies like San Jose's Green Vehicles that couldn't ordinarily afford to display at the ..

| Koenigsegg To Trim 81 Dealers From Saab Network Posted: 13 Nov 2009 08:00 AM PST  General Motors may be looking to expand its (formerly) shrinking U.S. network, but the soon-to-be owner of GM's orphaned Saab is sticking with a leaner, meaner game plan: Koenigsegg intends to nix 81 Saab dealers from the company's current network, leaving just 137 outlets in the U.S. Of course, there's still a chance that the entire deal ..

| Hybrid Touareg, 5-Series GT Tested And Smart Traffic: Today At High Gear Media Posted: 13 Nov 2009 08:00 AM PST  Smart traffic lights may be the next wave of the war against fuel consumption, as countless gallons of fuel are wasted at a standstill every day. BMW is leading the charge on that front, hoping to add some sophistication to the 40-year-old lights system we have now. Speaking of BMW, over at Motor Authority there's a fresh perspective on what ..

| Posted: 13 Nov 2009 07:11 AM PST  Mazda's CX-9 can be more than a little deceiving. Get caught up in the driving experience--as you actually can in the somewhat nimble-feeling CX-9--and you might actually think you're driving a tall but reasonably compact wagon. That is, until you look back from the front seat at the spacious three-row interior or assess from the outside ..
