Two Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives have asked Chrysler to address an issue that hundreds of Jeep Wrangler owners have complained about. The problem is known colloquially as the "Jeep Death Wobble", and according to a report in Detroit News, it's been associated with Wrangler vehicles from the 2005-2010 model years. It tends to...
Today at High Gear Media, BMW announced it will bring the 2013 328i Sports Wagon to the U.S. and we drove the 2013 Lexus RX 450h. We compared the Nissan Rogue to the Honda CR-V and De Tomaso filed for bankruptcy. All this and more in today's car news, right here on The Car Connection. Here are the best and worst selling vehicles in June. This is...
Back in March, the average fuel economy of new cars sold in America hit an all-time high of 24.1 mpg -- the first time that figure had ever crossed the 24 mpg mark. Since reaching that point, however, fuel economy has been steadily drifting downward. According to Detroit News, it did so again last month, when the average fuel economy of vehicles...
In a few short years, what difference. A segment of compact compromises has become a smaller and superior set. With a brand-new 2013 Ford Escape just out, and the Subaru Forester, Honda CR-V, and Toyota RAV4 poised as strong alternatives, there's enough to give any good comparison shopper pangs of doubt. So which would we choose--the Nissan Rogue...
For small families, the vehicle of choice is no longer the minivan or the SUV; it's the compact crossover. With prices that are about the same as a mid-size sedan—or maybe even a little less—these vehicles are more fuel efficient and can be equipped to near-luxury levels of comfort. Plus, they retain much of the appeal of a full-size...
The Nissan Rogue is a compact, economical crossover vehicle, and is an alternative to vehicles like the Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4, Subaru Forester, and Hyundai Tucson. While performance takes second stage, the Rogue is aimed at smaller, budget-constrained families and provides good interior space and versatility, along with an impressive list of...
The 2013 Nissan Rogue, to the point, comes very close to what most smaller American families want in their driveway—either as a primary or secondary vehicle. It's a little higher than a sedan, which makes getting in and out (and strapping the kids in) easy; its hatchback layout is versatile and wagon-like; it gets reasonably good gas...
Volvo Cars North America will have to pay $1.5 million in fines as a result of seven late recalls since 2010. That’s according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) which on Tuesday ordered Volvo to pay the civil penalties to settle claims that the company failed to report safety defects in a timely manner. As...
Ford touts its all-new 2013 C-Max Hybrid as more fuel-efficient, more powerful and cheaper than the Toyota Prius V, its closest rival. Ford is looking to entice consumers into trying a hybrid for the first time and hopes further that about 50 percent of C-Max Hybrid buyers will be conquest sales. But how do the five-passenger C-Max Hybrid’s...
History, it’s said, is doomed to repeat itself. Nowhere is this more evident than in June's new car sales, particularly the monthly list of best (and worst) selling vehicles in the U.S. market. As with May’s numbers, the big winners seemed to be trucks and fuel-efficient sedans, while the big losers were leftovers, the automotive...
In many areas of the country, it's that time of year when drivers know to keep a keen eye out for roadside vermin. And by "vermin," we mean the hoofed kind. State Farm says there are more than 1 million automobile collisions with dear every year, which do hundreds of millions of dollars of damage. Not to mention a couple of hundred human deaths...
