2012 Dodge Journey SXT: Driven

Posted: 27 Jul 2012 03:53 PM PDT

There are so many good choices among family crossovers, all well-packaged and reasonably well-performing—some with third-row seating—but for the most part they’re all so darn appliance-like and anonymous that it’s not surprising they drag us toward a state of anhedonia. Somehow the Dodge Journey SXT escapes this. It not...


2013 Mercedes-Benz GL Class: First Drive and Video Road Test

Posted: 27 Jul 2012 01:07 PM PDT

Back in the mid-1990s, when Mercedes decided to build a factory in America, and an M-Class to take on Ford's Explorer and Jeep's Grand Cherokee, the idea of also taking on the big GM and Ford SUVs one day seemed even more far-fetched.

GM Nixes Support For Conservative Lobbying Group

Posted: 27 Jul 2012 08:00 AM PDT

Once upon a time, corporations seemed pretty adept at keeping their political activities quiet. But as reps from Lowe's, Kraft, and Chick-fil-A will quickly tell you, that ain't the case no more: thanks to the internet and today's 24-hour news cycle, corporate lobbying maneuvers are increasingly easy to uncover and share with folks around the...

Earlier this month, we told you that the National Highway Traffic Safety administration had launched an investigation into reports of unintended acceleration in the 2002-2004 Ford Escape. Ford began conducting its own probe around the same time. Apparently, Ford's preliminary findings were strong enough to warrant immediate action, because the...

Despite these newcomers, and though it's essentially unchanged from the 2012 model year, the 2013 CTS remains the heart of Cadillac's...

Subaru Impreza WRX

Posted: 26 Jul 2012 06:48 PM PDT

The Subaru WRX and STI are factory hot rods, appealing to an entirely different audience than do the basic, fuel-efficient Impreza compact sedans and hatchbacks from which they're derived. They compete most directly with their archrival, the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo, which is also a compact sedan with a high-performance turbo four and...


2013 Subaru Impreza WRX

Posted: 26 Jul 2012 06:04 PM PDT

With strong turbocharged flat-four engines, roomy interiors, a comfortable...
