For decades, Toyota and Honda have been the brands that you simply can't expect to get a good deal on. Much as with an Apple Computer or high-end bedding, in some cases you had to swallow your smart-shopping pride and pay close to MSRP. But lately, with Honda and Toyota it's been quite the opposite. Domestic brands are reducing incentives...
Ford's Alan Mulally makes it a three-peat with a scheduled speech at January's Consumer Electronics Show, which ironically is open to the press only. [Detroit Free Press] GM says its Orion plant will build new Buick Veranos, but the UAW's disaffected say it'll build bad blood instead. [Detroit Free Press] We've shown you the Mercedes-Benz SLK's...
Tesla strutted its stuff for our jaded green-car reporters earlier this week. Do you think it's a startup, or not? [GreenCarReports] What's your best bet on a new-car deal this week? Could you believe...a MINI Cooper? [TheCarConnection] Sure, you're interested in alternative-fuel vehicles. But do you know which one works best for you, or what to...
Late summer car sales just weren't what they were supposed to be. New car sales in August were down a little over three percent from July -- historically, an unusual time to see a drop. Many automakers have new 2011 models on dealership lots already, and unsold 2010s to market alongside them. We're not seeing the drastic discounts of last Fall...
If you're an American, odds are pretty good that your car runs on gasoline. The chance that your next car will be gas-powered, however, isn't such a sure thing. According to a new study commissioned by Mercedes-Benz, nearly half of all adults in the U.S. are interested in alternative fuel vehicles, but the vast majority know little or nothing...
The Basics: The Honda CR-V is far from exciting to look at; it's a little bulbous and homely at first glance, and the interior styling isn't much more inspiring. But families looking for practicality, frugality, and versatility—but eschewing minivans—will find a lot to love in this roomy crossover. While the CR-V used to look more like...
Toyota has announced that all new 2010 and 2011 Toyota and Scion models will come with complimentary scheduled maintenance and 24-hour roadside assistance for two years or 25,000 miles. That makes Toyota the first mainstream, full-line brand to offer complimentary maintenance, a perk that's been, until now, the domain of luxury marques. The...
Mitsubishi has lined up the opportunity for virtual test-drives of its new 2011 Outlander Sport. And no, we're just talking about another tilt-and-pan virtual showroom feature, or some Need for Speed–style game backdrop. That's right; you'll send a specially outfitted 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport speeding along, driverless, from your own...
The first photos and product details of the 2012 Volkswagen Eos have surfaced, a few weeks before its official debut at the 2010 Los Angeles auto show. The new hardtop convertible goes on sale early next year with moderate updates to its styling and its interior. The front end now wears the slimmer grille seen on the new 2011 Volkswagen Jetta and...
