2012 VW Passat Six-Month Road Test: Do You Really Need An SUV?

Posted: 04 Jul 2012 10:00 AM PDT

A five-seat crossover vehicle sounds like the ideal solution to a family's needs, but won't a sedan do the same job nearly as well?

Posted: 04 Jul 2012 06:57 AM PDT

If you're looking for an A4 Avant station wagon as you troll the local Audi dealer this coming model year, you'll be out of luck.

Acura RL

Posted: 03 Jul 2012 05:09 PM PDT

Ever since its original introduction in 1996, the Acura RL has ranked as one of the most technologically advanced luxury sedans. Throughout its existence, it's been quick, supple transportation for four or five passengers. With a base price of about $47,000, the current RL sits in a hotly contested segment of BMWs, Benzes, and Lexuses but is far...
