Yesterday, our colleagues at Total Car Score offered their take on the best iPhone 5 apps for drivers. We agree with many of their picks, but we also know that a growing number of our friends own Android phones, which can't use software like Apple Maps. Naturally, we began to wonder: what must-have travel apps would we recommend for owners of iOS...
Earlier this month, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) boldly announced that its members had "selected autonomous vehicles as the most promising form of intelligent transportation, anticipating that they will account for up to 75 percent of cars on the road by the year 2040". Which raises a very serious question: are...
Today at The Car Connection, Kia revealed the new Rondo and we took a look at Cadillac's "virtual bumpers."

AAA discussed the potential safety risk of seniors and...
The Tesla Model S all-electric sport sedan is the first true volume production car from Silicon Valley startup Tesla Motors. It went into production in June 2012, and the company has slowly ramped up volumes from there, with a goal of delivering fully 5,000 cars by the end of 2012 and 15,000 or more during 2013. Designed entirely from scratch and...
The GMC Acadia is a full-size crossover that first went on sale in late 2006 as a 2007 model and currently is in its first generation. The Michigan-made vehicle is based on General Motors’ flexible Lambda platform, which underpins similar vehicles like the Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse and the former Saturn Outlook. At its launch, the...
While you might think of well-equipped work trucks and burly SUVs at the mention of GMC, the brand has plenty of wholesome family appeal, too. And at the heart of that is the Acadia, a vehicle that simply put, provides families with a somewhat chunkier, more masculine alternative to a minivan. The GMC Acadia has been on the market for five years...
The Volkswagen Jetta is VW's compact sedan, accompanied by a wagon dubbed the SportWagen. The Jetta has carved out a niche as a sporty, well-appointed, and affordable four-door. In the past, it's been closely related to the Volkswagen Golf (Rabbit), and its primary competition includes the Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla, Ford Focus, and Kia Forte...
The Toyota Sienna is a popular, family-oriented minivan model. The U.S.-made Sienna has V-6 power and available all-wheel drive and is an alternative to a wide range of minivan models including the Honda Odyssey and Dodge Grand Caravan. Toyota wasn't selling as many vans as it hoped to with its unusual (and expensive) mid-engine Previa van, so in...
The 2013 Toyota Prius V, now in its second year, was the first of several additions to the Prius hybrid family of cars that now numbers four separate models. It marries the standard Hybrid Synergy Drive powertrain from the well-known Prius Liftback model to a wagon that's longer, taller, and far more capacious both inside and out. The result is...
With its CX-9, Mazda proved that spacious family vehicles can actually be exciting to look at, as well as exciting to drive. Now, well ahead of an official introduction in October at the the 2012 Australian International Motor Show in Sydney, it's given us a first look and preview of a significantly refreshed 2013 CX-9 that will offer more...
The CX-9 is a mid-size to large, V-6-powered crossover utility vehicle, and Mazda’s largest vehicle in its current U.S. vehicle lineup. While the CX-9 maintains a tall body that affords quite a bit of family-friendly versatility and space, it has a more rakish look than most other crossovers its size and handles with a little more verve than...
If you need three rows of seating for family needs, the Mazda CX-9 is one of many crossover-vehicle options. But if you'd really rather be in a more stylish, nimble vehicle, we can think of few three-row wagons that are both as exciting to look at and as exciting to drive as the Mazda CX-9. We've already found the CX-9 to be among the...
