Not so long ago, it was fairly common to purchase a new vehicle every three or four years. Whether that purchase was spurred by fears of an aging vehicle's reliability or a desire for a sparkly new status symbol in the driveway, folks began getting antsy once their odometers crossed the 50,000-mile mark. These days, things have changed...

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened investigations into two popular Chrysler vehicles: the 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee and the 2009-10 Ram 1500.

Many have tried, and failed, to steal BMW's enviable place in the hearts of sport-sedan enthusiasts. The 3-Series isn't just a perennial leader--it's a totem by which all other luxury sedans are judged. But this isn't about the Bimmer. It's about the 2013 Cadillac ATS, a car that comes so close to BMW's lofty handling standards and so audibly...

Alternatives to the Tribeca include the Nissan Murano, Ford Edge, Toyota Highlander, and Honda Pilot. Named after a neighborhood in...
The 2013 Subaru Tribeca is a mid-size crossover that's pitched toward a more urbane crowd—the kind who's more likely to be wearing Cole Haans than Keens, as the name hints. It's quite the opposite for Subaru's better-selling, ever-outdoorsy Outback wagon. While the Tribeca is only slightly larger than the Outback wagon (which is much more...
Honda is conducting a voluntary safety recall of certain 2012 model year CR-V compact crossovers and 2013 model year Acura ILX small luxury sedans to fix faulty door locks.

Some drivers obsess on it from the day they drive their new car off the lot--and some don't give it a thought until it comes time to move on to a new set of wheels. Either way, both drivers face the reality of resale value, and it can be either a pleasant surprise or a cold wake-up call. Resale value is something of a black art, mixing a car's...
Everybody always blames the weather when something changes, from food price increases to the cost of housing. Now it’s being considered a contributing factor in the 13.5-percent increase in highway traffic deaths in the first quarter of this year. That’s according to a statement from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration...
Following a familiar trajectory, the latest iteration of the Nissan Z has continually added more technology, more features, and more performance since its re-introduction in 2003 as the 350Z. The current 2013 Nissan 370Z continues the trend, adding a handful of new features to each model variant, while maintaining the core segment-straddling...
