New car sales have been breaking records in 2012, and there's little sign of that changing in August. In fact, analysts at Kelley Blue Book expect that this month's figures could ring in 18.7% above last year, putting U.S. dealers on track for seasonally adjusted annual sales of 14.4 million vehicles. What's moving? KBB expects the biggest driver...
Today at High Gear Media, Ford and BMW both announced plans to raise money for charity and Infiniti recalled the 2013 JX due to a fuel system problem. Audi's Sport Quattro may be coming back and Chevrolet showed off the 2013 Corvette 427 Convertible. All this and more in today's car news, right here on The Car Connection. The Ford Taurus...
You've probably heard about Ford's "Drive One 4 UR School" program, which has raised over $12 million for high schools across the country since 2007. Now, the automaker is rolling out a similar program for charities called "Drive 4 UR Community". In fact, the two programs are almost identical. Drive 4 UR Community begins when an organization...
Now in its fifth year of production, the 2013 Subaru Forester is the only compact crossover utility with standard all-wheel drive. The sturdy and rugged but easy-to-use wagon is built on sedan underpinnings and offers a remarkably roomy interior, the handing of a passenger car, good ground clearance, and compact exterior dimensions that make it...
The 2012 Toyota RAV4 EV is actually the second all-electric RAV4 the company has offered. The first version--of which almost 500 remain on California roads today--was built a decade ago to meet that state's zero-emission vehicle requirements. The latest model serves the same purpose, but with an added fillip: Its battery-electric drivetrain was...
Nissan is conducting a voluntary safety recall of certain 2013 Infiniti JX35 luxury crossovers over a fuel system problem that could cause inaccurate fuel gauge readings. A notice on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) site lists the number of potentially affected vehicles at 7,842. Affected vehicles were built between the...
The 2013 Ford Taurus large family sedan, Ford Explorer crossover and Lincoln MKS large luxury sedan have each earned a five-star overall crash rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s (NHTSA’s) New Car Assessment Program (NCAP).

Over the past couple of model years, a number of mainstream vehicles have become not just more fuel-efficient but also more sophisticated, tech-savvy, and comfortable. And don't you think that full-size pickups are getting left behind; now for 2013, Chrysler has given its mainstream line of Ram 1500 trucks some serious upgrades. A 20-percent...
Now in its fifth year on sale, the Nissan Cube remains a rare car on U.S. roads and something of an oddity in the market—not quite a van, but close; not really a crossover wagon, though almost. It is very obviously a quirky vehicle through and through, and it's still unrivaled in both style and packaging. While earlier Cube models were...
