When we think of patents, we often think of things like drugs and cell phones -- things perfected in high tech labs over many, many years. But patents and patent law affect nearly every part of our daily lives, from the design of our alarm clocks to the shape of our toothbrushes to the designer DNA found in some of our favorite foods. And, of...
Today at High Gear Media, Lexus recalled the 2010 HS 250h and the 2014 Mazda Mazda6 entered into production. July new car sales numbers were reported and we discussed your options for renting an electric car. All this and more in today's car news, right here on The Car Connection. We reviewed the 2013 Acura TSX and liked its overall handling and...
Parents, especially new parents, want to ensure the safety of their child by taking all the right precautions – including buying and installing the right type of car safety seat. While new products arrive on the scene with some regularity, not much is ever discussed about the changes in car seats, specifically in terms of trends. Such trends...
The connected car is here to stay. From roadside assistance services like OnStar to entertainment apps like Pandora, we've come to rely heavily on connectivity to keep us safe and happy when we're on the road. But that doesn't mean that drivers aren't worried about being plugged in. In fact, a new study shows that the vast majority of car owners...
For those of you who followed along with us on our great American road trip in the Six-Month Road Test Hyundai Veloster, we know you've been wondering: what's it like to drive the Veloster for more than 500 miles in one sitting? After spending nearly three weeks driving the Veloster across the country, we can now answer that question. In a one...
The Acura MDX is a large seven-passenger crossover vehicle. Introduced for the 2001 model year, the MDX is in its second generation, with the newer version arriving in showrooms as a 2007 model. A 2010 mid-cycle update added new features and a new corporate face to the big crossover vehicle, which remains one of our top-rated family vehicles. The...
The 2013 Acura MDX has the luxurious design and space-efficient, versatile packaging that's made high-end luxury crossover models the vehicle of choice among affluent U.S. families, but it has one addition thing that most of the other models don't: It's actually enjoyable to drive. With a comfortable cabin, and impressive safety, and just a hint...
Even as the global economy continues to flounder amid debt crises and high unemployment, car sales in the U.S. ride the tide of an aging fleet that needs replacing and rising consumer confidence numbers. Overall, car sales for July were down slightly from June, but J.D. Power and Associates forecast July to deliver the second strongest...
Today at High Gear Media, we reviewed the 2013 Nissan Armada and MINI leaked the new Paceman on Facebook. Chevrolet priced the 2013 Camaro ZL1 Convertible and Ford announced it is going to donate another Mustang Boss 302 to charity. All this and more in today's car news, right here on The Car Connection. We calculated our road-trip fuel economy in...
With interest rates hovering near record-lows, plenty of homeowners have chosen to refinance their mortgages. But auto loans can be refinanced, too -- the only problem being that most people don't know it. That wee bit of info comes from a new survey released by CarFinance.com, which makes its profits from facilitating auto loans, so it's got a...
A sporty, engaging sedan and wagon that were formerly the entry-level cars in the Acura lineup, the TSX are some of the better-reviewed Acuras of recent vintage. Introduced in the 2004 model year, the TSX has been offered in two generations in the U.S., mostly with four-cylinder engines--though a new six-cylinder version has been added to the...
The Acura TSX is, for lack of a better term, a 'tweener,' in multiple ways, and while that might make it hard to cross-shop against other premium sedans, that's also what adds to its appeal as a sporty sedan that stands out in the market. It doesn't quite fit in as compact in the U.S., yet it's not mid-size either; it's more sprightly and less...
Now that we are back from our great American road trip in the Six-Month Road Hyundai Veloster, it's time to crunch some numbers. How did the Veloster fare when it came to fuel economy? We've already noted that our fuel economy in the Veloster has improved since the engine's break-in period. We have been averaging between 30 and 32 mpg in the city...
