Today at High Gear Media, Tesla delivered the first 2012 Model S, and Chevy uses LGBT Pride Week in a Volt advertisement. Kia issued a recall and Sebastian Vettel is heading to Letterman. All this and more in today's car news, right here on The Car Connection. Opel revealed the 2013 Astra Sedan. Tesla quietly delivered the first 2012 Model S...
So, you're a Saab fan. You've endured three years of agony, hoping for the salvation of your beloved brand. You've followed a plotline worthy of Shakespeare, or at least Dynasty. And then, over the fall and winter, you watched the tragic "series finale", as the Saab you knew and loved finally began to disintegrate. Well, not to worry, because...
Having it all when it comes to luxury car ownership increasingly includes comprehensive concierge services--little touches like car pickup and delivery, guaranteed loaner cars, even free detailing. Ward’s Auto data shows that factory concierge service share is up from 14 percent in cars, and 20 percent in light trucks in the 2010 model year...
Things seemed to be going so well for Mahindra. The company -- known to Americans for its tractors and commercial vehicles -- was finally gearing up to launch its family of pickup trucks and SUVs in the U.S. Mahindra had received regulatory approvals, and it even had a Georgia importer lined up to distribute and sell the vehicles, which many...
Back when the current generation of the Chevrolet Tahoe went on sale--in 2006, for the 2007 model year--the new-vehicle market was very different. GM didn't even have a larger crossover ute (the Chevy Traverse was still a couple of years away), and large swaths of America looked to these more truck-like SUVs for everyday family use. Today most of...
Trucky SUVs are the work boots of some worlds--useful if you're a logger, a swamp person, or anyone else with a personal stake in assisted-reality television. Crossovers? They're the cosplay version, look-somewhat-alikes that let you wear the sport-ute style without enduring live axles and locking differentials and...dirt. The Kia Sportage slips...
Launched for 2013, the Subaru XV Crosstrek is the latest crossover from the feisty little Japanese carmaker known for its flat-four engines and rugged all-wheel drive vehicles. You can think of it, if you like, as a sort of mini-Outback. Indeed, the compact Crosstrek replaces the undistinguished and discontinued "Outback Sport" model that was no...
The Coda Sedan, which went on sale in March 2012, is something of an anomaly even in the intertwined world of the globalized auto industry. It's an all-electric four-door compact sedan assembled in Benicia, California, using Chinese lithium-ion cells in its battery pack and a Chinese-built rolling body originally derived from an old Mitsubishi...
Kia is conducting a voluntary safety recall of certain 2006 to 2008 model year Rio small cars over concerns about a potential airbag problem. A notice on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) site indicates the potential affected vehicles were built from February 20, 2005 through December 9, 2007. Documentation from Kia (PDF)...
If you need passenger space, yet you also need some of the capability of a traditional truck, the 2013 Chevrolet Suburban should be near the top of your shortlist. The Suburban is not only one of the widest, longest SUVs available; it's also, if you check the right option boxes, close to a luxury vehicle in features and cabin appointments--one...
