| Posted: 05 Jun 2012 03:50 PM PDT  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...

| Posted: 05 Jun 2012 03:30 PM PDT  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...

| Posted: 05 Jun 2012 03:00 PM PDT  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...

| Chevrolet Volt 'Comes Out' For Detroit's LGBT Pride Weekend Posted: 05 Jun 2012 08:30 AM PDT  On June 28, 1969, gays, lesbians, and their transgendered friends took to the streets of New York, protesting the harassment they'd experienced at the hands of the city's police force. The violence -- now known as the Stonewall Riots -- lasted for several days and altered the way that Americans viewed their LGBT neighbors. Forty-three years down...

| Consumers Union Pushes Car-Safety Rules On Capitol Hill Posted: 05 Jun 2012 08:00 AM PDT  The surface transportation bill that's been slowly and not-so-surely winding its way through both houses of Congress has been called many things. Notably, Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood called the House version "the worst transportation bill I’ve ever seen during 35 years of public service". To date, two versions of the legislation have...

| Posted: 05 Jun 2012 05:49 AM PDT  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 Saab 9-3, Audi A4 Cabriolet, and Volkswagen Eos. The front-wheel-drive C70 was first...

| 2013 Subaru XV Crosstrek Preview Posted: 05 Jun 2012 05:00 AM PDT  In one light, the new 2013 Subaru XV Crosstrek is little more than a lightly tweaked Impreza compact hatchback. But looked at another way, the new XV Crosstrek is the feisty little Japanese carmaker doing what it does best: taking advantage of its all-wheel drive and U.S. drivers' desire for upright, crossover vehicles to create a new entry in a...

| Six-Month Road Test Hyundai Veloster: The Fido Test Posted: 04 Jun 2012 05:02 PM PDT  It took only a couple of weekends in our six-month road test 2012 Hyundai Veloster to glean that this small car could work surprisingly well for some city-dwelling dog owners. Yes, that's a bit of a surprise—especially considering its rakish, low-slung coupe profile. Usually, if you want a rather sporty coupe but have a dog, something has to...

| Posted: 04 Jun 2012 02:00 PM PDT  The 2012 Toyota Prius V wagon is the first of several additions to the Prius line, which since 2004 has been only a five-door hatchback. It takes the basic Prius formula of a practical vehicle with a liftgate and expands it in every direction, while retaining the Prius hybrid drivetrain. And it's rated at 42 mpg combined gas mileage by...
