The color of your car is important for a host of reasons: it reflects your personality, it affects your car's resale value, and according to researchers in the U.K., it determines how likely you are to be scraping bird poop off the hood every morning. Study organizers set up shop in five cities throughout Britain -- Brighton, Bristol, Glasgow...
Today at High Gear Media, Lexus priced the 2013 GX 460 sport-utility vehicle and Toyota announced a hybrid version of its new 2013 Avalon. A 2012 Nissan Leaf is going to re-attempt a world record, and how many 2012 Model S electric cars can Tesla sell? All this and more in today's car news, right here on The Car Connection. The NHTSA is...
How do you measure a company's value? Sure, you can look at sales figures, earnings, and other bean-countery things, but there's something just as important that's much harder to measure -- namely, the company's brand. When we talk about a "brand", we mean more than a logo, a color scheme, a design sensibility. A brand is what we could loosely...
Anyone lamenting Volvo’s decision to delay the redesign of its great--albeit-aging--XC90 has a worthy alternative in the form of the XC60 crossover. While it’s somewhat smaller, being classified as a mid-size crossover, the XC60 benefits from the same Scandinavian design influences as its bigger brother, and packs many of the same...
Even when most Americans were shunning wagons for minivans, then SUVs, then crossovers, wagons were a big part of Volvo's business. But over the past few model years the Swedish brand has completely abandoned that foundation in favor of somewhat taller, more ruggedly styled 'XC' crossover models. And in recasting wagons as something a little...
A brand-new Avalon sedan is Toyota's plan for the 2013 model year, and this time Toyota's steering its full-sizer in a more lively and interesting direction, with more attractive sheetmetal, more advanced features, and another helping of high-tech safety equipment. It's a counter to today's Avalon, which was a quick reskin of an older model that's...
In recent years, Toyota's said it will build a hybrid version of every one of its vehicles by 2020. Count one more down: the Avalon sedan is going hybrid for the 2013 model year. The big four-door, a relative of the best-selling Camry sedan, goes on sale in November of this year. When it does, it will inherit a version of the Hybrid Synergy Drive...
Just a year after its introduction, the Chrysler 200 mid-size lineup is arguably already better-established than the longtime Sebring models they replaced--thanks to a well-implemented ad campaign, and Eminem. But as fresh as the marketing was, the actual car is strictly a holdover, bridging the gap between the somewhat disastrous Sebring and this...
When it arrives in dealerships this July, the 2013 Lexus GX 460 mid-size luxury SUV will carry a base price about $200 more than the virtually identical 2012 model. Priced from $53,445, plus an $875 destination charge, the base model GX 460 totals $54,320 with no additional options. Stepping up to the GX 460 Premium results in an out-the-door...
Hyundai's Elantra has been a huge success, missing just a model or two to complete the usual compact-car trifecta. A hot seller and an award winner--the North American Car of the Year for 2012--the latest Elantra seems to have caught the Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla completely off guard, underpricing and out-valuing them, challenging their...
Hyundai believes it now has an Elantra for every buyer. Sedan shoppers prize fuel economy and value above all; coupe buyers want a better-looking vehicle. For those that want Euro-influenced styling, great utility and good gas mileage, there's a new option: the 2013 Elantra GT. It's a five-door hatchback new to the compact Hyundai lineup this...
