The Nine Things That Affect Your Car's Resale Value

Posted: 23 Jul 2012 01:10 PM PDT

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...

Audi Opens Digital Showroom: Is This The Future Of Shopping?

Posted: 23 Jul 2012 08:00 AM PDT

By now, most of us have visited an Apple store, or at least passed one at the mall. When they debuted in 2001, some analysts laughed at their spartan design and hands-off sales approach, wondering how Apple would ever make money in brick-and-mortar retail.

It's no secret that we're big fans of Ford's recently redesigned Escape crossover. Derived in part from the equally lovable Ford Focus, the new Escape offers great performance and premium looks in a compact package that's a good fit for city-dwellers, singles, and small families alike.

Luxury sedans inevitably grow larger and larger with each passing generation. It's been true for the Mercedes-Benz C Class and the BMW 3-Series, and it's also the case for the CTS, the entry-level Cadillac that's nearly a mid-sizer now, according to the tape measure. Rather than downsize the CTS, Cadillac's introducing a new entry-level family of...
