It's been twenty years since Nissan decided the old Stanza nameplate had had enough, and brought out the Altima as its new standard-bearer in the mid-size family-sedan segment. What a difference those decades make: not only has the Altima swelled in size along with the other four-doors in its class, it's completely sidelined the Maxima as the most...
Looking for a bit of good news to send you off on your long, holiday weekend?* According to TrueCar.com, May's new vehicle sales should come in 32% above May 2011. As exciting as that is, though, we should point out that a few automakers are skewing the curve -- namely, Honda, Toyota, and to a lesser degree, Nissan. At this time last year, those...
Twitter and NASCAR are no strangers to each other. Many drivers tweet updates throughout the week, and many teams tweet updates throughout races. But now Twitter and NASCAR have made their relationship official with a new partnership. The first race that will take advantage of this new partnership will be the Pocono 400 on June 10. The race will...
Today at High Gear Media, we reviewed both the 2013 Mercedes-Benz GLK Class and the 2013 Mercedes-Benz G Class. BMW revealed a refreshed 7-Series and might be working on a 1-Series sedan. All this and more in today's car news, right here on The Car Connection. The worst traffic isn't in Los Angeles. Is flashing your headlights freedom of speech?...
It's now the second best-selling family sedan in the U.S., and for the new model year, the 2013 Nissan Altima has a new design and revamped powertrains, as well as updated safety and infotainment features. The new version's addressed many of the previous car's shortcomings--a price-sensitive interior and below-par safety gear chief among them. But...
It's an unusual day--or maybe a coming of age--when our editors look forward so eagerly to a new diesel-powered vehicle. Don't judge. In this case, it's not just any diesel, and it doesn't just go into any vehicle. It's a Mercedes turbodiesel, and it slips neatly into a sport-ute that not only feels like it's always wanted an oil-burner--it even...
Los Angeles might seem to be the nation's capital for gridlock, but according to Inrix, a provider of traffic data and information, the City Of Angels doesn't have the worst traffic in the United States. Inrix says that the city of Honolulu wins that dubious honor, with drivers wasting 58 hours a year on average on congested roads. The Inrix study...
More crossover than the SUV it looks like on the outside, the 2013 Mercedes-Benz GLK gets an interesting new drivetrain option this year that beats its competition to the green-car punch, while it also revamps its cabin and connectivity features to bring its almost every facet and angle up to date. Almost, that is, except its traditionalist body...
Whether you think "gangsta" or "Gelaendewagen" when you hear the letter "G," the Mercedes-Benz G Class probably fits your visual definition. It's boxy, brash, blingy, so out of date it's hopelessly hip. It's an Instagram version of the past, like playing Atari 2600 games on an iPad. Best of all, the G Class is authentically an SUV--not a curvy...
