| 2011 Nissan Maxima, Sentra Priced From $30,810 And $15,520 Posted: 19 Aug 2010 04:22 PM PDT Pricing can be a dicey game as carmakers work to stay competitive while still making money on increasingly high-content models. For 2011, Nissan appears to be playing both ends of the spectrum with the Maxima and Sentra, which start at $30,810 and $15,520 respectively. The Sentra offers a solid value, though you'll immediately add $1,180 to the...

Ringing in at...

| The TCC List: Five Near-Luxury Interiors Under $25k Posted: 19 Aug 2010 10:49 AM PDT  No matter how cool your car looks on the outside, the truth is, you won't spend much time looking at it from a distance. No matter how fast it is, you'll spend most of your time in it idling in traffic and traveling at neighborhood speeds. For most of us, it's the comfort of the seats, the quality of the materials, the sound of the stereo and...

| Alleged DUI Driver On 3 Wheels Leads Cops On 11-Mile Chase Posted: 19 Aug 2010 08:48 AM PDT  You'd never know it from images of Manhattan, but large parts of upstate New York are rural and not that well off. Nevertheless, Duane Bush isn't helping Genesee County with its public relations. The 61-year-old man was arrested at his home in Bethany, New York (southwest of Rochester) on charges of aggravated driving while intoxicated (DWI) and...

| First Drive: 2010 Aston Martin V12 Vantage Posted: 19 Aug 2010 08:30 AM PDT  Coming straight out of a two-hour stint in the Ferrari 458 Italia and jumping into just about anything else, you expect to be...underwhelmed. Not so with the Aston Martin V12 Vantage. Though it takes a very different route, the big-engined baby Aston is, in its own way, even better. Take Aston Martin's "entry level" car, stuff a 6.0-liter...

| Video: Jay Leno's Guided Tour Of The Porsche 918 Spyder Posted: 19 Aug 2010 07:45 AM PDT  Here at High Gear Media, we've talked a lot about the stunning Porsche 918 spyder. Most recently, we learned that it's officially making the leap from concept to production, and it's going to be more powerful than expected. Yesterday, we saw Jay Leno and Arnold Schwarzenegger smitten by the supercar's steering wheel (well, sort of), and today...

| TCC Tip: Don't Let Your Dog Ride Shotgun Posted: 19 Aug 2010 07:16 AM PDT  Your dog may in fact "want to go for a ride"--but that ride could end up hurting you both, according to a survey from the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety. The charitable wing of the roadside-services provider says as many as one-third of dog owners report their pets distracted them while driving. Worse, nearly a quarter of them say they let...

| First Look: 2011 Jeep Wrangler Posted: 19 Aug 2010 06:34 AM PDT  The covers are off the new 2011 Jeep Wrangler, which gets a much nicer interior and some other upgrades for the new model year. Chrysler says the new Wrangler gets much better interior treatments, as well as a new body-color hard top on the Sahara model. The new instrument panel goes a little less rugged than we've ever seen in the Wrangler...

| Posted: 18 Aug 2010 06:40 PM PDT  The Basics: Sports car handling, German engineering, Porsche styling and...four doors? The Panamera again has strayed well outside Porsche's well-trodden sports car heritage to become one of the world's best sports sedans. The 2011 Porsche Panamera is no four-door coupe, like the Aston Martin Rapide or the Mercedes-Benz CLS, but a true "gran...

| Today in Car News: Leaf Falls, Italia Crashes and In-N-Out with Zagat Posted: 18 Aug 2010 05:23 PM PDT  If you're in line for a 2011 Nissan Leaf, you may have to wait even longer. Instead of 10,000 Leafs planned for sale before March, Nissan North America's now counting on 3,300 electric cars. Bummer. [Gas 2.0] The 2011 Volvo lineup includes a five-cylinder-only S40, more power for the S80, and the demise of the V70. The new 2011 S60? We're driving...
