A month ago, Americans paid an average of $3.69 for a gallon of unleaded regular gasoline. Today, we're paying $3.84. What gives? Isn't this the time of year when gas prices are supposed to drop -- when companies stop manufacturing expensive summer-blend fuel and transition to more affordable winter blend? Ordinarily, yes, but this year, we've hit...
Today at The Car Connection, we bring you pricing information for the new SRT Viper models, tell you which city’s employees seem immune from red-light camera tickets and let Bob Lutz explain why the math is all wrong regarding losses on each Chevy Volt sold. It’s Tuesday, so that means its time for your daily dose of car news, as...
Autonomous cars are a hot topic of conversation nowadays. Fans of the status quo see them as a waste of time. Driving enthusiasts see them as the harbinger of a boring, 55 mph future. And politicians see them as high-tech boogeymen to scare seniors into voting booths. (NB: that tactic didn't work.) Now, another group voiced its criticism --...
The 2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid represents the first straight-up competitor to the legendary Toyota Prius hybrid, and it's home-grown and assembled in Michigan. This is Ford's first dedicated hybrid, meaning there's no gasoline-only version of the C-Max sold in the U.S. In exterior size and internal capacity, the tall, compact five-door hatchback...
While you may be out new-car shopping for yourself this coming weekend, it's just as likely you'll be looking for something to give to your teen driver. It's a fact of modern life for many families: to get to all the day's duties--everything between work and school--sometimes, you need a second, or even a third, set of wheels. Buying a car for...
Honda says that it's turning to continuously variable automatic transmissions (CVTs) for its all-new 2013 Accord for one very important reason: gas mileage. Just as Nissan has proven with its lineup of mostly CVT-equipped passenger cars and crossovers, these transmissions typically do better at the pump than conventional automatic transmissions...
The Honda Accord has grown from a compact to a mid-size—and now full-size, model—over its more than 35 years. The Accord was first a hatchback, but a sedan model was introduced after a few years and quickly became the more popular body style in the U.S. Today the Accord lineup consists of Accord Sedan and Accord Coupe models. As a...
After years of very careful, measured evolution, mid-size sedans seem to be in the midst of a sea change. Radical redesigns are being subbed in, safety-tech and infotainment features are flooding (not trickling) down from the luxury brands at a record rate, and the V-6 engines that used to be the bread-and-butter of the segment are no longer to be...

Let's say you're in your garage and you find a bottle of random stuff. Do you a) recycle it, b) smell it, or c) toss it in the trash can? This isn't a story...we're just cleaning out our garages.9/8/12 12:01PM
