Nissan Titan

Posted: 03 Aug 2012 04:50 PM PDT

The Nissan Titan is a full-size pickup, slotting above the Frontier in Nissan's lineup and competing directly with the likes of the Ford F-150, Chevrolet Silverado, (Dodge) Ram 1500, and Toyota Tundra. To this day, the Titan takes a noticeably different design direction compared to that of other full-size trucks. Taking a nod from Nissan's...


2013 Nissan Titan

Posted: 03 Aug 2012 04:17 PM PDT

Even though the Nissan Titan hasn't changed much in nearly a decade, it remains one of the most distinctive-looking, distinctive-sounding full-size trucks on the market in 2013. While that's part of the truth, the other part is that in nearly every other way the 2013 Titan is simply outclassed by other full-size pickups that offer more...

Posted: 03 Aug 2012 02:40 PM PDT

This week we worked to bring you the latest spy videos, video road tests, and first driving impressions, and you watched them in droves. Spy videos were clearly the popular choice this week as three out of our top five videos this week are spy videos. Mercedes-Benz fans must be eager to learn about the new 2013 GL Class as our video road test of...


Chevrolet Malibu

Posted: 03 Aug 2012 10:17 AM PDT

The Chevrolet Malibu is a front-wheel-drive, mid-size sedan that takes on the likes of the Toyota Camry, Honda Accord, Nissan Altima, and Ford Fusion, among others. While the Malibu hasn't typically offered cutting-edge features or top performance, it's always been a relatively strong value. Following previous rear-wheel-drive versions that ran...


Chevrolet Camaro

Posted: 03 Aug 2012 10:04 AM PDT

The Chevrolet Camaro has a long-running love affair with muscle-car fans, nearly as long as that of its rival pony car, the Ford Mustang. Today, the Camaro is offered in base, RS, SS and ZL1 versions, and as a coupe or as a convertible--with a choice of V-6 or V-8 engines, and manual or automatic transmissions. Introduced in 1967 as a response to...


2013 Audi A4: First Drive and Video Road Test

Posted: 03 Aug 2012 09:37 AM PDT

The A4 is Audi's powerhouse--not just because of its 333-horsepower S4 edition, but even more so, because of what it brings to the brand. Almost 50 percent of Audi's U.S. sales are its "B-segment" cars, including the A4, the S4, previous Avants and the new Allroad wagon. Case in point: over the past 30 years, Audi AG's sold about 10 million cars...


July 2012 Car Sales: The Best-Selling (And Worst-Selling) Vehicles

Posted: 03 Aug 2012 09:08 AM PDT

July, it seems, was an odd month for car sales. While some manufacturers (like Chrysler) posted serious gains over last July, other automakers (like GM and, surprisingly, Ford) posted a downturn in sales compared to last year. There are no real surprises in this month’s Winners column, as both trucks and fuel-efficient cars continue to be...


Audi A4 Vs. BMW 3-Series: Compare Cars

Posted: 03 Aug 2012 08:18 AM PDT

While the front-runners in the luxury segment--BMW and Mercedes-Benz--continue to be close rivals despite very different paths to their destinations, Audi's cars often sit aside, somehow competitive without seeming to care about the race. Perhaps that describes the Audi buyer as well. Audi's A4, its bread-and-butter model, sitting in the lucrative...


Man Texts 'I Need To Quit Texting' Before Driving Off Bridge

Posted: 03 Aug 2012 08:00 AM PDT

If you'd seen it in a movie, it would've been your cue to chuckle (or roll your eyes at the sophomoric script). But when 21-year-old Chance Bothe texted the words, "I need to quit texting, because I could die in a car accident", then drove off a bridge into a ravine in Ganado, Texas, it was no laughing matter. Images from the crash site posted by...

Today at High Gear Media we drove the 2012 Toyota RAV4 EV and spotted the 2013 MINI Cooper. Carroll Shelby's personal Mustang GT500KR is headed to auction and Toyota announced a recall. All this and more in today's car news, right here on The Car Connection. The feds opened a probe into the 2013 Infiniti JX35 due to a faulty emergency brake...


Good Deals Hard To Find, Thanks To Strong Sales, Easy Credit

Posted: 03 Aug 2012 07:39 AM PDT

Summers are usually slow at auto dealerships, but this year has been an exception. That's great news for folks working the sales floors, but not so good for shoppers hoping to score a good deal on a new car, according to TrueCar.com. Thanks to growing consumer confidence, easier credit, high trade-in values, and the debut of some attractive new...


2013 Audi A4

Posted: 03 Aug 2012 05:17 AM PDT

It's the best-selling car in the German automaker's lineup. Every other Audi sold today is an A4, and this year, the bread-and-butter sedan brings a new face to buyers, as well as new features and better fuel economy. The A4 competes with the BMW 3-Series and Mercedes C Class, as well as the new Cadillac ATS. It lands right in the...


Acura TL

Posted: 02 Aug 2012 05:51 PM PDT

A mid-size luxury sedan that emphasizes technology sometimes over luxury, the Acura TL occupies the middle rung in Honda's luxury lineup. All-wheel-drive models take on a wide range of models, including the BMW 5-Series, the Infiniti M sedans, and the Lexus ES 350 and GS range of cars. Base front-wheel-drive TL models, however, are more comfort-...


2013 Acura TL

Posted: 02 Aug 2012 05:08 PM PDT

The 2013 Acura TL doesn't quite fit neatly into the German-pedigreed sport-sedan landscape, but as a luxury sedan it takes a different, somewhat more adventurous tack. Whichever way you see it, the TL has a comfortable, spacious interior, while offering an athletic, inspiring driving experience in its top SH-AWD form. The TL's...

Toyota has just announced it will conduct a voluntary safety recall involving certain 2006 to early 2011 model year RAV4 compact SUVs and 2010 model year Lexus HS 250h passenger cars for a problem with the rear suspension that may pose a safety risk.
