| Posted: 31 Mar 2010 01:30 PM PDT  With a premiere at the Geneva Motor Show behind it, the 2011 Kia Sportage is headed for U.S. dealers later this year. The Sportage bows today at the 2010 New York Auto Show, and Kia's released this photo in advance of the North American debut. Bearing some cues from the Kia Kue concept car, the Sportage takes an entirely different styling tack...

| 2010 New York Auto Show: 2011 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid, At Last Posted: 31 Mar 2010 01:14 PM PDT  For a few years, the only full hybrid sedan sold in the U.S. was the Toyota Camry Hybrid. Then came the 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid, which won North American Car of the Year and upped the ante considerably. Now Hyundai has raised the bar again. Its 2011 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid, available this fall, is more aerodynamic and runs faster in electric mode...

| Next-Gen Mazda6 Will Get 43-MPG Diesel Model Posted: 31 Mar 2010 12:40 PM PDT  Mazda is going diesel in the U.S. after all, with a new-generation diesel four-cylinder engine capable of achieving up to 43 mpg. The new diesel engine (SKY-D) and an all-new six-speed automatic transmission will be launched in the U.S. in 2012, in the automaker's "next-generation mid-sized" car—almost certainly the Mazda6. Compared to the...

| Toyota Will Renew Incentives Through April, As Sales Soar Posted: 31 Mar 2010 11:45 AM PDT  Thanks to the strong incentives offered over the past month, Toyota sales have recovered nicely despite multiple recalls and highly publicized federal investigations. But it looks like the automaker isn't going to ease off them quite yet. The original March Sales Event incentives, slated to expire April 5, offer zero-percent financing for up to...

| 2010 New York Auto Show: Can 2011 Scion iQ Out-Smart the Mini? Posted: 31 Mar 2010 11:37 AM PDT  One year ago, Scion previewed its iQ mini-car, the smallest model yet from a brand known for its small, quirky cars. Today it revealed the production version of the 10-foot-long 2011 Scion iQ. The little "three-plus-one-seater" will go on sale between January and March next year, powered by a 1.3-liter engine producing 90 or more horsepower mated...

| 2010 New York Auto Show: 2011 Hyundai Sonata 2.0T Posted: 31 Mar 2010 10:35 AM PDT  Turbocharged, 274-horsepower, four-cylinder, direct-injection, 17.4-psi boost, aluminum block and head: the spec sheet reads like a rally car, not a Korean sedan, but that's exactly what it is. The 2011 Hyundai Sonata 2.0T is set to redefine the midsize, affordable sedan segment with more style and power than your average Subaru or Mitsubishi--let...

| AAA's Five Rules Of The Road For That 'Worst Driver' Posted: 31 Mar 2010 10:24 AM PDT  For the new Travel Channel show America's Worst Driver, the American Automobile Association (AAA) has compiled some easy-to-follow advice on how to be a safer driver. In a quick video clip, Dr. Bill Van Tassel, an AAA safety expert, goes through five of AAA's Rules of the Road: No distracted driving. Looking away from the road for just two seconds...

| New York Auto Show: 2011 Nissan Juke Under $20,000 Posted: 31 Mar 2010 10:00 AM PDT  Nissan is crossover happy: there's the Rogue compact, the Murano, and now there's the 2011 Nissan Juke. A small five-door with muscular styling and a small turbocharged four-cylinder engine, the Juke made its North American debut at the 2010 New York Auto Show. It arrived wearing a hint at a base price--less than $20,000, Nissan says--and an...

| 2010 New York Auto Show: 2011 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Wagon Live Gallery Posted: 31 Mar 2010 09:58 AM PDT  Mercedes-Benz is hitting the 2010 New York Auto Show hard with a barrage of updated and new (to the U.S., anyway) cars, including the E-Class Wagon, which makes its U.S. debut today. Available only in E350 4Matic trim, the new car offers a touch more utility without the sacrifice to style and compactness required of a crossover. With a 3.5-liter...

| 2010 New York Auto Show: 2011 Mercedes-Benz R-Class Live Gallery Posted: 31 Mar 2010 09:50 AM PDT  The Mercedes-Benz R-Class hits a different split for its crossover mixup: part SUV, part minivan, it's not really either one. And until this latest facelift, it wasn't really easy on the eyes, either. It's still not as attractive as the rest of the Mercedes lineup, but it's definitely much improved with a fresh facelift for the 2011 model year, as...

| 2010 New York Auto Show: Nielsen Names Winners Of 2010 Ad Awards Posted: 31 Mar 2010 09:21 AM PDT  A couple of weeks ago, Nielsen ripped open a few envelopes and announced the nominees for its 2010 Automotive Ad awards. Unfortunately, last year's economic storm clouds forced most automakers to be very conservative with their marketing, so the pool of ads Nielsen had to draw from was somewhat less than stellar. Nevertheless, Nielsen pulled...

| 2010 New York Auto Show: 2011 Infiniti QX56 Live Gallery Posted: 31 Mar 2010 08:47 AM PDT  Buick fender vents aside, there's a lot of weird going on with the 2011 Infiniti QX, and the live photos do little to mitigate the ponderous proportions. Based on the Nissan Patrol SUV, the new QX56 is a big, real-deal SUV, but we have to wonder who's going to find it attractive. Priced to start from $59,800 in four-wheel drive or $56,700 in...

| Report: General Motors Will Own 17% Of The U.S. Market; Ford, Toyota Right Behind Posted: 31 Mar 2010 08:10 AM PDT  The past couple of months, Toyota's recall fiasco has scuffed the automaker's image, but over the last year and a half, General Motors may have fared far worse. Between its bankruptcy, restructuring, dealer cuts, and brand wind-downs, GM has been hit with a barrage of criticism from the government, employees (current and former), and the general...

| 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee Production Starts May 3, Sales In July Posted: 31 Mar 2010 03:32 AM PDT  Chrysler gave us an early look at its redesigned 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee at last year’s New York Auto Show but almost a year on and the vital model in the revitalized Chrysler is still nowhere to be seen. Cherokee fans won’t have to wait too much longer however, as the new SUV is scheduled to start production on May 3 and go on sale...

| 2010 New York Auto Show: 2011 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid Posted: 30 Mar 2010 09:01 PM PDT  Hybrids originally came from mass-market brands--Toyota, Honda, then Ford--before they ascended into loftier realms (Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Porsche). Now Ford is taking its well-received hybrid sedans upscale, by adding a hybrid model to the 2011 Lincoln MKZ lineup. The MKZ, although it shares a production line and some sheetmetal with the Ford...
