| Acura RL Safe, No Phase-Out Planned Posted: 16 Jul 2010 04:00 PM PDT  Earlier this morning, reports emerged that the Acura RL, bawdy bionic beavertooth grille and all, might soon be headed to the scrap heap of history, but Acura has released a brief missive putting the kibosh on any such talk. The Acura RL is alive and well, and will continue to be the flagship for the brand. Gary Robins, manager of Acura public...

| Lexus Reveals Updated 2011 Lineup: Small Changes For All Posted: 16 Jul 2010 04:00 PM PDT  What a year Lexus and parent company Toyota have had--beat up on runaway cars only to have the data show it was the drivers' fault, and hammered further with recalls over faulty parts.

| Want To Eradicate Any Smart ED Worries? Just Say Tanks Posted: 16 Jul 2010 11:27 AM PDT  Like the Nash Metropolitan 50 years ago, the 2010 Smart ForTwo generates its share of cracks, stares, and guffaws. People who drive the tiny two-seat Smart minicar just have to get used to it. And Smarts suffer their share of slights, from a rash of 'Smart dunking' incidents in the canals of Amsterdam to a Portugese organized-crime Smart-theft...

| Remember the 2011 Chevrolet Volt's 230-MPG Claim? Forget It. Posted: 16 Jul 2010 11:02 AM PDT  Almost a year ago, General Motors launched a little marketing campaign connecting its 2011 Chevrolet Volt range-extended electric car to the figure "230 mpg." As we pointed out at the time, they were basing that projection on a proposed formula for fuel usage patterns that made a lot of assumptions about the driving cycles that would be used...

| Ten Songs To Cruise To In Your New Electric Car Posted: 16 Jul 2010 09:20 AM PDT  Ever since the first car radio--let alone the in-car record player and drive-time radio--there have been few finer places to listen to your favorite tunes than from the driver's seat of your car. So far, though, amidst all the pounding rock and funky pop music, nobody seems to have considered the electric car when trying to write their next hit...

| 2011 Subaru Outback Gets Mobile WiFi Posted: 16 Jul 2010 08:45 AM PDT  Subaru calls the 2011 Outback a crossover, even though we think it's more of an all-wheel drive wagon (and a fun one at that). Whatever class it sits in, it just got a bit cooler this morning, with the addition of mobile WiFi access linked to the Internet via 3G. The new addition, dubbed simply enough "Subaru Mobile Internet," offers connection...

| Nielsen: Chinese Car Buyers Are Feeling A Little Hungover Posted: 16 Jul 2010 08:24 AM PDT  2009 was a year that many would like to forget, and that goes double for the auto industry. In China, however, 2009 was a boom time for car makers -- a year of steep government subsidies, an auto market that saw 45% growth, and a frenzied population of buyers, many of whom still find owning a car a slightly novel and exciting idea. 2010, however...
