| Posted: 09 Jun 2010 02:17 PM PDT  The 2010 Ford Fusion is a mid-size four-door sedan that offers gasoline and hybrid power in either front- or all-wheel-drive configurations. In normal times, the Fusion, at only three model years old, would have been due for a minor refresh-some added features and a gussied-up nose and tail. Instead, Ford spent $650 million on a major overhaul...

| Posted: 09 Jun 2010 02:11 PM PDT  The Ford Econoline is a very specific vehicle for drivers with very specifics needs, and the low numeric rating given by TheCarConnection.com is in comparison to the spectrum of vehicles on the road. In its class, for its intended duties, the Econoline only has a couple of peers, and it's good at its intended use: hauling the absolute maximum...

| Posted: 09 Jun 2010 01:56 PM PDT  The 2010 Lexus SC 430 retractable hardtop roadster sports a bulbous body with a power folding hardtop, a big V-8, and a six-speed automatic transmission, and returns for the model year with just a handful of minor changes. It's a surprising return, since the aging sporty convertible has essentially been replaced in the Lexus lineup by the smaller...

| Posted: 09 Jun 2010 01:51 PM PDT  This is the final year of production for the ancient, rear-drive Mercury Grand Marquis. TheCarConnection last reviewed the four-door sedan in the 2008 model year, when Ford made plans to halt sales of the car and its twin, the Ford Crown Victoria. Some 2010 Grand Marquis sedans remain available from dealers, but Ford has confirmed it will shut...

| Posted: 09 Jun 2010 12:45 PM PDT  The 2010 Audi S6 shares much of its body and interior with the Audi A6 lineup, and the performance S6 edition carries on the sedan's classic roofline arc and "tornado" line that trails along the lower sills, but it sits lower and has side skirts and air dams that amp up the graceful shape. The S6 adds shiny carbon-fiber trim to the cabin, and it's...

| Springteq Unveils First Aftermarket HUD Navigation All-In-One Unit Posted: 09 Jun 2010 12:22 PM PDT  So you want that fancy integrated OEM heads-up display (HUD) GPS navigation system you saw in your friend's brand-new BMW, but can't afford to trade in your car just yet? Springteq has the solution: the WeGo all-in-one HUD navigation system. The first of its kind for the aftermarket, the Springteq WeGo offers a virtual image in a HUD display...

| Cloud Commuting: Google Maps Will Be A Key Feature On Ford, GM, Audi Rides Posted: 09 Jun 2010 09:29 AM PDT  We've talked a lot about Google Maps and how it can make drivers' lives easier. We're happy to report that several major automakers have fully embraced Google's free service and are working hard to integrate its unique features into their vehicles' existing telematics systems. Ford is a great example of this phenomenon in action. We've known for...

| Like Or Unlike? 2011 Ford Explorer Will Debut On Facebook Posted: 09 Jun 2010 08:30 AM PDT  The live-streamed rollout: we've seen it in other industries -- in fashion, for example -- and it's even happened a few times in the auto world, when an automaker has posted live video of a model's debut on the auto show floor. Now, Ford has decided to skip the auto show altogether and premiere the 2011 Explorer on Facebook. In many ways, the move...

| Video: MINI Challenges Porsche 911 To Race Against Cooper S--At Road Atlanta Posted: 09 Jun 2010 08:00 AM PDT  In what may be one of the most fantastic David vs. Goliath pairings of the automotive world (and pretty smart marketing, too), MINI has challenged Porsche to a race--911 Carrera S versus Cooper S. Heads up. Crazy? Maybe. The date is set: just under two weeks away, on June 21. MINI is even egging Porsche on (or shaming them into it) by offering an...

With these new results, we're updating our 2010 reviews for each of the vehicles, to award them...

| Video: 2011 Audi A1 Mini-Movie With Justin Timberlake The Final Episode Posted: 09 Jun 2010 07:00 AM PDT  Audi's 2011 A1 minicar still isn't a solid bet for the U.S., but that's not stopping the German carmaker from tapping American talent to promote the car. You may recall that Justin Timberlake was picked as the brand ambassador for Audi, and now he's stepping up his role in the A1's promotion. The first two episodes advanced the plot from cryptic...
