If you're in the market for a used car, now might be a good time to get serious about shopping. New data, paired with time-honored auto industry trends, could add up to big savings for consumers in the coming weeks. Last month, we told you that used car prices were slipping. According to the National Association of Automobile Dealers, midsize and...
Today at High Gear Media, four-cylinder engines are now the most popular engines and we reviewed the 2013 Buick Verano. Nissan did something charitable and the MINI Rocketman Concept may be back on the production table. All this and more in today's car news, right here on The Car Connection. Should companies be liable for employees' cellphone...
According to the Wall Street Journal, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is ramping up an investigation of gas-tank fires associated with three popular Jeep models: the 1993-2001 Jeep Cherokee, 1993-2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee, and 2002-2007 model year Jeep Liberty. NHTSA says that the investigation is related to the vehicles' fuel...
New in 2012, the Buick Verano returns for the 2013 model year with relatively few changes. That is, until the end of the year, when a turbocharged, 250-horsepower Verano T joins the lineup. We'll have more on that vehicle in the fall after we've driven production-ready vehicles. Until then, the standard Verano continues to impress us as far more...
The Volvo C70 is a mid-size luxury convertible model. More luxurious and sporty than the Toyota Solara or Chrysler Sebring, the C70 slots between those models and sportier models like the BMW 3-Series Convertible and new Lexus IS C. Its closest rivals include the Audi A4 Cabriolet and Volkswagen Eos--as well as the Saab 9-3 Convertible. The...
In many respects, the 2013 Volvo C70 can serve as a reminder of how good convertibles can be—with a clean, attractive design, a tight-fitting folding hardtop, top-notch cabin appointments, and a knockout core set of luxury and safety features. And it lands in a sweet spot that many will appreciate—definitely more affordable and...
The Mercedes-Benz CLS is a mid-size luxury sedan, serving as a more stylish alternative that sizes and prices between the E-Class and flagship S-Class sedans. With a more aggressively arched roofline and more flowing design, it also appeals to those who want a little more versatility for carrying backseat passengers compared to the Mercedes-Benz...
Is your employer responsible, at least in part, when you talk or text? If you believe the raft of jury settlements awarding millions in some high-profile lawsuits that reach deep into some companies' pockets—against companies whose workers were in an accident (and caused injury or death) while driving distracted—then the answer is...
It sells more vehicles than Buick and Cadillac combined. Its Denali sub-brand sold more vehicles in May than all of Jaguar and Land Rover did in the U.S. Still, some call the GMC brand the company's red-headed stepchild--and not only because of its plain red logo. GMC may get less attention when it comes to new product than other divisions, but...
The term “compact crossover” applies to an incredibly large array of vehicles, from virtually all manufacturers and across nearly all price points. Among the larger compact crossovers on the market today are the Chevrolet Equinox and the GMC Terrain, both of which deliver plenty of room, outstanding safety scores and solid value for...
You probably know the GMC brand more for its big pickup trucks, but its crossovers are more popular than ever. Today, the compact, almost mid-size Terrain ute is the best seller of all its SUVs, and this year, GMC is freshening it with a new Denali edition, and an upgrade for its optional V-6--making it a much stronger choice in a field that...
