Another trio of first drives are fresh off the production line: we're checking in with the 2011 Dodge Journey, Grand Caravan and Chrysler Town & Country. [TheCarConnection, TheCarConnection, FamilyCarGuide] In other first drives, we go for a spin in the Wheego Whip LiFe, but only after sorting through its difficult taxonomy. [GreenCarReports]...
The Basics: The iconic Toyota Prius has been around for a decade and was for 2010 completely redesigned, with more room, a more refined feel, and the real-world ecstasy (for some) of 51-mpg fuel economy.

Six months ago, we wrote about the legal confusion about whether police officers could track a person's movements by placing a GPS transponder on that person's car without a warrant to do so.

Not that it didn't need a tightening here, a mini-lift there, a spa weekend most everywhere (and mostly for its plasticky, creaky cabin), but the Grand Caravan's always been a fundamentally sound package. It's only recently--since...
Looking at the auto market, there's some very good economic news. Auto sales are expected to continue their surge in November and are on the road to a stronger annual finish than had earlier been anticipated. Because of rising demand as well as a "slew of new products that will be hitting the marketplace," the pricing intelligence firm TrueCar...
In the two years since the Dodge Journey first showed up in showrooms, Chrysler's been through a couple of near-death moments. For all its turmoil with the private-equity crowd and the bankruptcy courts, Chrysler's now churning out a heavily revamped line of 2011 vehicles that includes a Journey with a new powertrain offering, retuned handling...
