Bipartisan Survey: Most Americans Want More Transit Options Posted: 01 Apr 2010 05:56 PM PDT We spend a lot of time and effort helping guide you through the car-shopping process and helping you to answer questions like: Should I get a 2010 Honda Fit or hold out for the 2011 Mazda2. And can I really tow with that 2011 Ford Flex EcoBoost (the answer to the latter is yes). But there's mounting evidence that—beyond famously car-light New...

HD Radio To Be A Standard Feature On Most 2011 BMW Models Posted: 01 Apr 2010 11:56 AM PDT BMW has announced that it will make HD Radio technology standard on most of its 2011 lineup—starting with the new 2011 BMW 5-Series. The German automaker was one of the first to offer HD Radio as an option, beginning in 2006, and has offered the feature as an option across all model lines since 2007. BMW has enabled HD Radio's built-in data...

2010 New York Auto Show: 2011 Kia Sorento SX Posted: 01 Apr 2010 10:43 AM PDT Kia's Sorento crossover--while a clean and attractive design--doesn't exactly deliver the aggressive image some buyers are looking for, or at least it didn't until now. Shown this morning at the 2010 New York Auto Show, the 2011 Kia Sorento SX puts a new face on the CUV. Flared headlamps, swept-back lines and prominent fog lamps give a stronger...

Contestants Are Here To Reinvent Scion's Wheels, Not Make Friends Posted: 01 Apr 2010 09:20 AM PDT Question: What do you get if you cross Ford's popular "Fiesta Movement" marketing campaign with the hit TV show Project Runway, the unwatchable Launch My Line, and a dash or two of Monster Garage (minus JJ's adultery)? Answer: Scion's "Reinvent the Wheels" campaign. The premise of the campaign is pretty straightforward: Scion and its ad agency...

Video: Emblem Alive Makes Your Weekend Projects A Little More Hilarious Posted: 01 Apr 2010 08:40 AM PDT There are lots of perks that come from writing about cars -- test drives, nifty schwag, media days at auto shows -- but our favorite by far are the press releases. We don't mean the humdrum emails about new floor mats; we're talking about epic missives promoting "groundbreaking" products that are usually, upon closer inspection, the worst things...

2011 Kia Optima: First Look from the 2010 New York Auto Show Posted: 01 Apr 2010 07:00 AM PDT We've been teased a few times with sketches of the 2011 Kia Optima, but today we've got the real thing live from the upcoming 2010 New York Auto Show, with an on-sale date expected for the fall. The current Optima's more typical of the last generation of Kia cars: functional but unexciting. In our Bottom Line on the 2010 Optima, we applaud its...

2011 Kia Forte Five-Door: 2010 New York Auto Show Posted: 01 Apr 2010 07:00 AM PDT Kia has yet another flavor of Forte for car shoppers--a five-door hatchback is joining the family, and it's live this week at the 2010 New York auto show. The 2010 Kia Forte has become one of our favorite compact sedans--and quickly. In its initial outing with TheCarConnection's road-test team, the Forte scored an 8.4 out of 10, thanks to its...

2011 Subaru Impreza WRX STI Sedan: The Wing Is Back Posted: 01 Apr 2010 07:00 AM PDT Subaru, like Mitsubishi, has built a reputation on the back of years of success in World Rally Championship racing, but not long after the debut of the newest generation of the range-topping WRX STI, the company pulled out of the WRC. The reasons are many, but fans feared the ties to the company's rally racing heritage would be severed as well...

Subaru Launches Dog Driving Days, To Teach Pets New Skills Posted: 01 Apr 2010 03:21 AM PDT In recent years, both Subaru and Honda have marketed special versions of their vehicles to pet owners, including "pet-friendly" accessories to make riding in cars safer for non-human species. Now, Subaru is taking the next step by offering driving lessons to dogs and other pets. The company plans a nationwide program of free clinics in which pets...

2010 New York Auto Show: 2011 Acura TSX Wagon Posted: 31 Mar 2010 02:26 PM PDT We're smack in the midst of auto show season, just coming off the back of the 2010 Geneva Motor Show and now with the 2010 New York Auto Show upon us. The latest car to be unveiled there today is the 2011 Acura TSX Wagon, which is set to go on sale in late fall.
