Every day, 10,000 Americans turn 65. More than 80 percent of drivers 65 and older regularly take medication—two-thirds take five or more daily. Yet only half have talked with a medical professional about the possible safety issues related to driving. The AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety warns that the risks of drug interaction and side...
Now in its second year, the 2013 Toyota Prius C is largely unchanged from the car that debuted last year. This is the smallest of the four-car Prius lineup, though like its siblings, its "dedicated hybrid" body style is only offered as a gas-electric hybrid vehicle. Smaller and about $5,000 less expensive than the classic Prius Liftback, which...
The 2013 Bentley Mulsanne is a four-door hyper-luxury sedan with immense power, classic styling seen through a modern lens, painstakingly built with Bentley's own inimitable taste and attention to detail. With a long, sweeping profile and extended, long-wheelbase cabin, the Mulsanne won't be mistaken for one of the new breed of four-door coupes...
At this point in election season, everything becomes political: the brand of car that candidates drive, the designers of the outfits worn by candidates' wives, the funders of buildings where national conventions are held, everything. The latest political football? The Space Shuttle Endeavour. That's not because Endeavour symbolizes the end of an...
Today at The Car Connection, Ford revealed the new 2014 Transit Connect while Lexus showed more of the LF-CC Coupe Concept. We ramp up for the Paris Auto Show and the first production 2013 Cadillac ATS heads to the auction block. All this and more in today's car news, right here on The Car Connection. Both Mississippi and Oklahoma are making life...
In the world of hyper-luxurious cars, things don't move as quickly as they do elsewhere. Oh, the cars are plenty fast, alright, as the Bentley Continental Flying Spur proves--but the pace of change in design, style, and equipment is more relaxed than in the workaday ranks. That is, perhaps, for good reason: though the 2013 Bentley Continental...
Any parent who has struggled to figure out the correct installation of child car seats knows that it’s no simple task. In fact, a new survey from AAA finds that three-quarters of Child Passenger Safety (CPS) technicians observed that parents misuse the LATCH system more than half of the time. Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH)...
The Ford Transit Connect is a relative newcomer here in the U.S., having only made its local debut last year and so far proving quite successful in the commercial vehicle market. However, the vehicle has been on sale elsewhere in the world for several years and is about to be replaced by a brand new version. That brand new version of the Ford...
Volkswagen's Jetta has grown, but not only in back-seat room. Having spent most of the last ten years sidelined as a smaller, more pricey alternative to Asian and American compact cars, it's been repositioned as a bigger and less expensive vehicle that still delivers what VW buyers are looking for--the premium German badge. It also still delivers...
The Subaru Legacy sedan and station wagon were Subaru’s first foray into the mid-size market in 1989; the fifth generation of the Legacy four-door sedan was launched for the 2010 model year. As of 2008, the Legacy station wagon sold in previous generations was no longer offered, with all Subaru wagons carrying the more outdoorsy Outback...
The Subaru Legacy mid-size sedan is already entering its fourth year since a major redesign, but it's received some significant updates for 2013, with a new, more fuel-efficient four-cylinder engine, along with a handful of new active-safety features and improved refinement. While the Legacy doesn't stand out in styling or design, it handles well...
Introduced for 2012 and continued largely unchanged for 2013, the Toyota Prius V is essentially a four-door wagon version of the Toyota Prius Liftback. It hangs onto the basic formula for all Prius models--a dedicated body style and the company signature Hybrid Synergy Drive system--but expands in length, height, and interior volume. The Prius V...
