| When Is An Evoque Not An Evoq? Posted: 11 Oct 2010 05:17 PM PDT  Interesting thing about car names – concept and otherwise - they are intended to evoke (pun intended) certain feelings as consumers look at the vehicles. Here we look at Evoque and Evoq, which are actually very different vehicles from two different automakers. They’re both luxury, but one is a concept roadster while the other is a...

| 2012 Nissan Versa Sketch Teases Us With LEAF Themes Posted: 11 Oct 2010 02:44 PM PDT  The all-electric Nissan LEAF may be a harbinger of future Nissan small-car design if a leaked sketch purporting to be the 2012 Nissan Versa is any indication. That's not particularly surprising, since it was aerodynamically optimized to make the most of its battery pack. Or course, such slipperiness also benefits gas-engined cars, too. The details...

| Think You'll Save Money Changing Your Own Oil? Probably Not Posted: 11 Oct 2010 02:41 PM PDT  It sounds like the perfect money-saving weekend project, especially for someone who spends all day in an office: gather the wrenches, a funnel, a basin, some old empty milk jugs, new oil and filter, and lots of rags, and change the oil yourself. But unless you're well-versed as a mechanic, you might not end up saving money after all. Even if you...

| Mercedes-Benz Recalls 85,000 Vehicles For Power-Steering Leak Posted: 11 Oct 2010 11:43 AM PDT  Mercedes-Benz is recalling about 85,000 vehicles in the U.S. for an issue with the power-steering system that could result in a loss of power assistance. The recall covers 2010 Mercedes-Benz C-Class and E-Class models, along with 2010 and 2011 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe and Cabriolet models, that were manufactured between June 1, 2009 and...

| How GM Didn't 'Lie' About The Volt, And Why The Press Is Wrong Posted: 11 Oct 2010 10:40 AM PDT  You may have seen this morning's media frenzy about General Motors' "lie" about the Volt's ability to directly drive the wheels with its range-extending gasoline engine. What you may not know is that the publications screaming "lie!" are doing little more than running self-serving, tabloid-worthy headlines. I'm not typically a fan of electric...

| Fireball Run: The Attainable Chevrolet Camaro SS Gets More Attention Then The Lamborghinis Posted: 11 Oct 2010 09:44 AM PDT  The Fireball Run is over and the dust has settled. Done and gone are the days full of missions and bonuses, yelling and high stress discussions about where something might be. As a week has passed one thing has been stuck on my mind. The way the public reacts to the Camaro. In the Fireball run there were everything from Lamborghini Diablos to...

| Posted: 11 Oct 2010 07:59 AM PDT  Once upon a time -- maybe ten years ago -- employers worried about how much time employees spent shopping online. And although there was some basis for their concerns -- that's why they call it Cyber Monday, right? -- these days, employers now have something much more insidious to worry about: social media. A recent study found that some workers...

| 2011 Porsche Cayenne S vs. 2011 Infiniti FX50S Posted: 11 Oct 2010 07:46 AM PDT  These two cars are extraordinary. There’s just no other way to describe family trucksters that can bomb to 60 mph faster than any readily available sports car could just a few decades ago—and darn near as fast as even the swiftest sports cars on the market today (we’ll presume a similar price bracket for that analogy). This feat...

| What a 2011 Chevy Volt Has In Common With a Huge Tahoe Hybrid Posted: 11 Oct 2010 03:27 AM PDT  Put them side by side, and they could be vehicles from two different planets. The new 2011 Chevrolet Volt range-extended electric car is GM's green halo car, its foray into the future of electric drive vehicles, and the focus of a huge marketing and publicity effort. The 2011 Chevrolet Tahoe Hybrid is a big, old-fashioned, body-on-frame full-size...

| 2011 Chevrolet Volt: Electric Drive Impressions Posted: 10 Oct 2010 10:10 PM PDT  In one light, it was nothing more than a drive in a new car on a sunny autumn afternoon. But in another, it meant taking the wheel of the most radical new car since the 1997 Toyota Prius—perhaps more significant yet—and driving it on public roads for the first time. After almost four years, we drove a saleable 2011 Chevrolet Volt...
