| Posted: 30 May 2012 12:08 PM PDT  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...

| Auto Industry Puts A (Small) Dent In Unemployment Posted: 30 May 2012 10:45 AM PDT  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...

| Car Loans Are Easier To Find: Should We Be Worried? Posted: 30 May 2012 08:15 AM PDT  A big part of the auto industry's troubles during the Great Recession were tied to the credit crunch. After the banks failed, it became much harder for consumers to secure credit, and without credit, many shoppers found themselves unable to finance new or used cars. However, a report from Experian Automotive says that restrictions among lenders...

| 2012 VW Passat Six-Month Road Test: Wash, Wax, And 40.5 MPG Posted: 30 May 2012 07:56 AM PDT  It's been nearly a month since we took delivery of our Six-Month Road Test sedan, the 2012 VW Passat TDI. In that time, it's rarely sat in Park for more than a day or two in the garage. Mostly, the TDI's been on the interstates and on long-distance treks, accumulating more than 3000 miles as it road-tripped to Washington, D.C., then on to...

| As Predicted, Used Car Prices Plummet Posted: 30 May 2012 07:45 AM PDT  Remember how we said that used cars would get cheaper in June? We hate to say we told you so, but...well, do we really need to say it? In point of fact, though, we can't take credit for the prediction. The National Automobile Dealers Association broke the news in April, and NADA has now confirmed that its analysts were right: in a press release...

In general, Americans are living longer, millions of Baby Boomers are reaching retirement age, thousands of disabled vets are returning home, and traffic crashes and other accidents are resulting in a growing number of individuals learning to deal with physical challenges. But...

| Posted: 29 May 2012 02:30 PM PDT  All-new for 2013, the Porsche Boxster is more capable on track and off, and more refined inside and out--in fact, it may just be the best of the compact luxury roadster crop. The entirely new chassis is stiffer and lighter, and it's wrapped in brand-new bodywork that lifts the Boxster from its cute-but-mild past into a more aggressive...
