| Posted: 31 Jul 2012 09:40 AM PDT  New back in the 2004 model year, the Nissan Armada returns for the 2013 model year with only minor changes. It's still a full-size SUV in the classic mold, with rugged good looks and big interior space to go with an imposing stance.

| Chrysler Posts Dizzying Profits, But Will Fiat Kill Its Buzz? Posted: 31 Jul 2012 07:00 AM PDT  Last week, Ford's second-quarter earnings figures proved that the automaker is still going strong, but also showed that Europe's financial woes are hindering Ford's progress. Now, Chrysler has released its own outstanding financial results for April, May, and June, but could Fiat kill the party? The numbers confirm that Chrysler has, indeed...

| NHTSA: Aftermarket Devices Unreliable In Detecting Kids Left In Hot Cars Posted: 31 Jul 2012 06:00 AM PDT  In the middle of summer and with potentially many days left of high heat across the country, parents are being warned that aftermarket devices designed to protect kids by alerting caregivers they’ve been left in hot vehicles may not be reliable.

| Posted: 30 Jul 2012 07:20 PM PDT  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...

| Posted: 30 Jul 2012 05:18 PM PDT  The Honda Pilot is a mid-size sport-utility vehicle with roomy interior appointments and a very family-friendly interior. Though its rather boxy exterior hints at off-road ability and ruggedness, the Pilot is not intended for serious rock scrambling—its all-wheel drive system instead excels for all-weather confidence on the road. The Pilot...

| Posted: 30 Jul 2012 03:09 PM PDT  While the vast majority of utility vehicles have grown smooth, rakish, and overtly aerodynamic on the outside, the Honda Pilot stands apart. It's one of relatively few models on the market today that preserves the old two-box design that once separated SUVs from sedans and vans. And while the Pilot might look from a distance like one...
