Today at High Gear Media, we bring you our own video review of the 2012 Ford Focus, and spy shots of the 2014 BMW X5 SUV. We ask whether the Volt's really an electric car if 63 percent of its miles are all-electric, and discuss the pros and cons of putting more ethanol in your gas tank. You'll find all of this and more in today's car news...
There's no question the compact car class is one of the competitive segments right now. With new entries such as the Dodge Dart and Hyundai Elantra. Ford recently launched an all-new Focus to compete against the stiff competition, but how does it stack up? That's the question we aim to answer in our latest video road test. While there is no longer...
Car theft is on the decline--and today, the chances that your vehicle will be stolen are lower than any time in the past 15 years. The FBI estimates that in 2010, some 737,142 vehicles were stolen in the U.S., a drop of more than 7 percent from the year before. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports the more of the same: it...
The Ford Expedition is a full-size sport-utility vehicle, based on the same architecture and powertrains that also make up the Ford F-150 and the Lincoln Navigator. It was first built for the 1997 model year, and effectively replaced Ford's old Bronco two-door sport-ute. Sized between the smaller Explorer and the now-discontinued Ford Excursion...
As other utility vehicles—including Ford's own once-ubiquitous Explorer—have evolved to be less truck-like and more family-friendly, Ford has stuck to its guns with the hefty Expedition In some respects, it represents a fad that's faded; but in other respects it delivers the same solid truck ability that it always has—making it a...
The Subaru XV Crosstrek is a new crossover vehicle that's especially carlike and compact, appealing to those who might need the snowy-weather or trail ability of a true utility vehicle but at the same those who would really prefer a package that feels (and looks) carlike. Introduced for the 2013 model year, the Crosstrek takes on the likes of the...
Teens across the country responded to the Bridgestone Teens Drive Smart video contest and the top 10 finalists have been selected. Now, it’s up to America to vote for the winners. But hurry, you only have until July 23 to vote. What’s at stake? Besides getting publicity for a compelling message to their peers on the dangers of...
Looking like a concept car come to life--and in a way, it is--the Nissan Juke is a futuristic, quirky, perhaps even slightly weird take on the subcompact crossover format. But for all its unique design, it packs a lot of just what you'd expect, too. The Nissan Juke came to the market two years ago, and in that short time, has risen to become one...
The Ferrari California's 490 horsepower and sporty, aggressive looks might make you think it's race-bred and somewhat unsuited for the comfort and convenience required of more typical driving--but the California is actually one of Ferrari's most practical models. It's a rear-wheel-drive, two-plus-two, grand touring hard-top convertible--and it's...
