If you love the thought of letting a car insurance company monitor your driving habits but think, "Hey, why stop there? Why not let them keep tabs on my traveling, too?", well, today's your lucky day. Last year, we told you about State Farm's grammatically challenged Drive Safe & Save program. Drive Safe & Save offers customers the chance...
Today at High Gear Media, a Humvee from The Avengers is up for sale and Mercedes-Benz revealed the 2013 GL63 AMG. We drove a 2013 Subaru BRZ and the 2013 Lexus ES. All this and more in today's car news, right here on The Car Connection. The IIHS said graduated licenses could save lives. We reviewed the 2013 Scion tC and found it's on its way to...
When it comes to perceived quality -- that is, how consumers view brands, based on personal experience and word-of-mouth -- Honda and Lexus are at the top of their game. That's according to ALG, a California-based company that has been predicting valuations in the automotive industry for almost 50 years. In the spring of this year, ALG interviewed...
Fitting fashionably in between the subcompact Rio and mid-size Optima, the 2013 Kia Forte covers all the bases with three different body styles of compact cars—including a Forte sedan, Forte 5-door hatchback, and Forte Koup two-door. The Forte was the first car to get the crisp new Euro-influenced look that has characterized all of Kia's...
Mercedes-Benz is expanding its portfolio of high-performance AMG models with the brand new GL63 AMG, which is set to go on sale early next year as a 2013 model. The vehicle is based on the latest 2013 Mercedes-Benz GL Class, which itself was only revealed at last month’s 2012 New York Auto Show. Mercedes' decision to add a new...
For years, the Lexus ES has been a great luxury sedan for impressing the clients. It's been conservatively dressed; plush, premium, quiet, and comfortable inside—yet never ostentatious. And it's worn that Lexus badge more as a symbol of smart, on-a-budget luxury than flamboyance. Those things haven't changed in the all-new 2013 Lexus ES. But...
Straddling the gap between a sporty car and a true sports car, the Audi TT shirks simple classification in favor of a combination of design, practicality, and fun-driving spirit underpinned with solid Audi engineering. The 2013 Audi TT carries forward the 2012 model's features and designs unchanged. Nonetheless, the current TT continues to offer a...
The Lexus ES has long been the choice for those who want to be cosseted and comforted, but those who don't want to be overly involved in the driving experience. At the same time, there's a new kind of luxury shopper who wants a car that's quiet and cushy, yet more responsive—not sluggish or boatlike. We think that the 2012 Lexus ES models...
While fatal crash rates of teen drivers have plunged in recent years, a new report from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) and the Highway Loss Data Institute (HLDI) shows that states can significantly reduce teen fatalities and collision rates by strengthening existing graduated driver licensing (GDL) laws. How much improvement can...
As Scion undergoes a little bit of a personality change--the new 2013 FR-S sports coupe is a dramatic shift up and away from the JDM ethos, right?--it's still counting on its long-time sales champ to bring home some steady clientele. That provider in chief would be the tC, the front-drive sporty hatchback that's sustained the brand while the xD...
In Montgomery, Alabama, automaker Hyundai recently announced it was hiring 877 new workers. To fill those positions, over 20,000 prospective workers applied. Last summer, 18,000 people put in for jobs at Ford’s Louisville, Kentucky, plant, where the automaker will begin producing its Edge crossover next month. The total number of available...
