Our road warriors have returned triumphant, with survivors' merit badges from the 2010 Paris Auto Show and the 2010 Fireball Run. Los Angeles is next--get psyched, bring permission forms. [MotorAuthority] A parting shot from the Eiffel Tower, first: a take on the five most wanted cars from Paris. [SportsCarMonitor] Our college-car guy is having...
In the blur of Fireball Run and Paris Auto Show coverage, we failed to remind you the Ford F-150 is the top-selling vehicle in the U.S. again. As it's been since, oh, 1977. [KickingTires] Its lovelorn sister, the Mercury Mountaineer, never sold much, and the only date it has is with the executioner. [Detroit Free Press] Lincoln is ridding itself...
Take a new luxury car out on the test drive and you'll probably notice one important difference as you're parking: The expected pedal or handbrake lever has been replaced by a single button or switch. So what's the point? Actually it makes sense on many counts. These new electronic parking brake (EPB) systems, once you're used to them, are very...
The leaves are starting to turn, and soon, the weather will turn with them. In some places, it will turn downright nasty. Remember those three foot snow drifts last winter? Remember the car you couldn't get out of them? If you live on the East Coast, or in parts of the mountain west, you do. And if you're looking at a new car, the memory might be...
During tough economic times, companies often cut back on marketing -- in fact, advertising budgets are frequently the first to shrink when danger looms and the last to expand once the coast clear. As a result, some analysts see ad spending as the equivalent of the canary in the mine shaft: a sign of whether things are good, bad, or ugly. Nielsen's...
It's the best way to drive. We're at little biased here. But then again, we do this for a living; and driving dozens of cars every year, we can assure you, there is nothing quite like rowing your own as you put a car through its paces. We prefer the manual transmission. It puts you more in touch with the mechanics of the car. It puts you more in...
The Basics: There's a lot more to Volvo than there used to be, and the S60 showcases that more flamboyantly than any of the brand's other current models. This time, Volvo is looking beyond just those who want style and safety and truly setting its sights on driving enthusiasts and models like the Audi A4—perhaps even the benchmark BMW...
