In looking at the market share that Toyota has lost, that's what the pricing intelligence service TrueCar found. According to the company's data, a full 25 percent of...


Video Exclusive: Hyundai Sonata Saves Teens From Their Wild Side

Posted: 16 Feb 2010 01:26 PM PST

No parent needs reminding (or details) about their teen or young adult childrens' wild side. If anything, it's something many would like to avoid thinking about. But when it comes to safety, it's something worth addressing--particularly behind the wheel. That's the message behind Hyundai's latest TV spot, unseen anywhere outside Hyundai except...

We've known for months now that Nissan is planning its new global compact car--the next-gen version of the Micra--for the U.S. Today, Nissan officially announced the car will make its world debut at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show.

Posted: 16 Feb 2010 09:33 AM PST

Track-day wonder, fuel-sipping daily driver and one of the most affordable bits of exotica on the road--the Lotus Elise seemingly does it all.

Posted: 16 Feb 2010 07:39 AM PST

We haven't heard a lot about HUMMER lately. The closing of its sale to Chinese firm Sichuan Tengzhong Heavy Industrial Machinery has been delayed several times, vehicle sales have fallen, and U.S. production of its H3 is at a halt though it has announced 2010 updates. So we thought a couple of recent news items might be in order. First, green...

Posted: 16 Feb 2010 07:16 AM PST

HUMMER's a flashpoint for controversy. It's a brand so reviled by tree huggers, its dealerships have been firebombed. Of course, that's a badge of honor to its die-hard fans, who'll gladly give up their HUMMERs-and you can pry them from their cold, dead hands. The partisanship blurs the big issue with the small HUMMERs. Even if you're politically...
