| Buick-GMC Dealerships To Offer Loaner Cars? Posted: 12 Oct 2010 04:41 PM PDT  Owning a luxury car has its perks. And while the soft hides, real wood veneers, and more exclusive badges certainly don't go unappreciated, some of the most valued perks—especially for repeat luxury-brand shoppers—are related to the kind of service you get when you return to the dealership for scheduled maintenance, a recall, or a...

| Distracted Driving: LaHood Asks Automakers To Raise Awareness Posted: 12 Oct 2010 03:33 PM PDT  U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood has asked automakers to do more to educate drivers on the hazards of talking or texting while driving. Certainly, LaHood and other safety officials are worried that devices, such as Ford's Sync interface, that make calling or texting easier from behind the wheel will instill a false sense of...

| Today in Car News: Electric Car Adopters, China and Survolt Posted: 12 Oct 2010 02:30 PM PDT  Americans are ready to buy electric cars--but that pesky pricetag gets in the way. [NielsenWire] Should you pay attention to these automotive brands? There are only ten of them--but aren't there only 38 brands total anyway? [CNNMoney] Longtime Jaguar managing director Mike O'Driscoll will retire early next year, but will stay on as an advisor to...

| 2011 Nissan Murano: Fresh Face, New Trims, Higher Prices Posted: 12 Oct 2010 01:33 PM PDT  Nissan has announced specs, details, and pricing for its 2011 Murano, and there are indeed a few noteworthy changes versus the 2010 model. The 2011 Murano gets just a few front and rear enhancements: a new grille, reshaped front lower fascia, and new 18-inch wheels on S, SV, and SL models. Of those changes, the changes in front are probably most...

| Today at High Gear Media: All About Volt, Chrysler 200, Audi A6 Posted: 12 Oct 2010 12:11 PM PDT  Not to beat this point into the ground any more, but the 2011 Chevy Volt is an electric car, not a hybrid. Ask an engineer--or ensnare one for video work. [TheCarConnection, GreenCarReports] Here's why we don't think the faux EV-versus-hybrid rage makes a difference to people who already knew the Volt uses gasoline, a.k.a., everybody...

| Getting Along Without a Google-Car Just Fine, Thanks Posted: 12 Oct 2010 10:42 AM PDT  Would you fall in love with a car that drives itself--or would it drive you and your family nuts? On the one hand, who wouldn’t love to be able to sit back during a long commute, read a book, polish your nails, do some isometric exercises, or just stare out the window at lesser mortals not privileged to be in a car that drives itself? I...

| Posted: 12 Oct 2010 10:15 AM PDT  School is stress. The two go hand in hand. All students have different ways to cope. Some tackle their problems head-on and get their schoolwork finished as soon as they receive it. Some choose to binge drink until they can't see anymore to forget about all the things they're stressed about. Personally, I prefer using a car. Since mine is garaged...

| Subaru Talks About 'Mediocrity' Posted: 12 Oct 2010 08:12 AM PDT  Last week, we told you about the 2011 Mediocrity -- a bogus new car at the center of a mysterious stealth marketing campaign. We'd seen some spy shots of the vehicle, then we stumbled across the 2011 Mediocrity Twitter page, which led us to the Mediocrity website. Which was pretty much where the mystery unraveled, because anyone who looked at her...

| Posted: 12 Oct 2010 08:09 AM PDT  When the Chrysler 200C EV made its debut at the 2009 Detroit Auto Show, the automotive world was at once shocked by the attractive design and pessimistic about its then-electric drivetrain. While we don't get the 200C EV shown, we do get one much better looking, if still somewhat Sebring-ish, sedan in the 2011 Chrysler 200. Not to mention a...

| 2011 Volt "GM Lied" Debate: They Hate GM, They Really Hate GM Posted: 12 Oct 2010 07:34 AM PDT  This will be our last word on the whole "GM Lied!" and "Is the Volt a hybrid?" controversy, which blew up yesterday at the first day of the 2011 Chevrolet Volt press launch. Late last night, GM issued a press release (largely reprised on its Voltage site) entitled "Clearing up confusion about the Chevy Volt." The company noted, "some confusion has...

| Posted: 11 Oct 2010 09:38 PM PDT  The Basics: The 2011 Ford Edge doesn't bring radical change to America—at least not from the outside—but it's a beefier take on the five-seat crossover that gave Ford new life after the Explorer fell to earth. Ford's calling this Edge a "refresh." On the market five years already, the Edge has been pretty thoroughly refurbished but...
