Nissan Leaf: Compare Cars Posted: 13 Aug 2012 03:30 PM PDT  This year, they're two of three high-volume plug-in electric vehicles sold in the U.S. So which one is right for you: the Nissan Leaf, or the Chevrolet Volt?

| Posted: 13 Aug 2012 08:10 AM PDT  Chevrolet's Sonic hatchbacks and Cruze sedan brought momentum back to the brand's small cars. Now it's up to the 2013 Malibu to do the same for its fortunes in the mid-size family-sedan class--one end of it, at least, while the General readies a new big Impala full-sizer for the 2014 model year.

| Florida Attack Ad Uses 'Driverless Cars' To Scare Elderly Voters Posted: 13 Aug 2012 08:00 AM PDT  'Tis the season for many things: late-summer road trips. Back-to-school shopping. And of course, iffy political attack ads.

| Chevrolet Volt Vs. Toyota Prius: Compare Cars Posted: 13 Aug 2012 07:30 AM PDT  Buyers looking for the greenest of cars often default to the Toyota Prius, but with the Chevrolet Volt entering its third year on the market and a new plug-in version of the Prius launched early in 2012, the choice is getting more complicated.
