Best of all, we have plenty of info on the U.S. version of the smallest Range Rover, including a ballpark starting price. At "around $45,000" the Evoque won't be the most affordable compact crossover on the block, but judging by the high-res...

| Honesty On The Road Comes With A Pricetag Posted: 21 Sep 2010 02:47 PM PDT  I can’t figure it out. Is the story on Syracuse.com about the inefficiency of a government bureaucracy or about honesty going wrong – the no good deed goes unpunished twist. A 2005 Jeep slid on a snow covered road and hit a guard rail on a state road in Mexico, New York. The damage was confined to the plastic bumper and seemed so minor...

| 2011 Infiniti G25 On Sale Now, Starts From $30,950 Posted: 21 Sep 2010 09:16 AM PDT  If you've been hankering for an Infiniti G sedan but couldn't justify the brawny 328-horsepower 3.7-liter V-6, you've got a new option: the 2011 G25. On sale today, from a starting price of $30,950, the new 2.5-liter V-6 delivers lower cost of entry, better fuel economy, and, yes, a bit slower performance. The G25 should still provide a bit of...

| Video: Toyota Goes For The Funny Bone With 'My First Ride' Comedy Series Posted: 21 Sep 2010 08:17 AM PDT  Once upon a time, corporations sponsored entire TV shows. Philip Morris brought America I Love Lucy. Dutch Master Cigars beamed The Addams Family to your living room. And The Flintstones was brought to you by the good people at Winston.

The bad is that we're still losing thousands of lives a year to distraction—and cellphones (if not...

| Looking for the 2012 Ford Ranger? It's the 2011 Ford F-150 Posted: 20 Sep 2010 06:42 PM PDT  Though fewer and fewer car shoppers are researching and purchasing today's Ford Ranger compact pickup truck, the decision to let the Ranger die next year in the U.S. still raises questions as to why Ford isn't working on a new small pickup, particularly when Ford's revived the Taurus and Explorer.
