So when we saw that AdAge had picked the "Top 10 Female Ad Icons of All Time", we flinched. Not only had editors ranked the best of...

The U.S. economy is giving mixed signals these days. Stocks are up, as are home sales, but hiring -- though not on the decline -- is often described as anemic. And yet, the U.S. auto market is charging full-steam ahead. In fact, J.D. Power predicts that the industry will see 12% growth this year, with 11.8 million vehicles sold at retail and...
In 2011, it was the minivan segment that reinvented itself. In 2012, crossovers and SUVs witnessed big turnover and a slew of new products. Now in the 2013 model year, the family sedan is witness to at least four new models, almost every one a better vehicle than the mega-seller than preceded it. We've already shown you the 2013 Chevrolet Malibu...
It's no green machine, unless you opt for a traditionally British paint hue. The 2013 Jaguar XK is simply a dazzling blend of grand tourer and sports car that's grown more authentic over the past few years as it's joined the 500-horsepower club. Since its 2007 reinvention, when it adopted an aluminum body structure, the change in direction for the...
No matter how many years you’ve been driving, you’ve likely encountered situations where you need to make a decision about what to do at a yellow light. Depending on where and when you drive most regularly, you may experience this on a frequent basis. The question becomes: do you stop or go? The answer depends, for the most part, on...
As the smallest, sportiest model in Aston Martin's lineup, the Vantage holds a position with dual natures: it's the least exclusive, but also the most coveted by performance enthusiasts. Available in three flavors, including the V8 Vantage, V8 Vantage S, and their roadster variants, plus the V12 Vantage (the V12 Vantage Roadster is not available...
The BMW 3-Series is a mid-size sport sedan built since 1975 and is now in its sixth generation. It’s BMW’s most popular model to date and for years has been the benchmark in its class. Today the car is available in Sedan, Coupe, and Convertible models, with Touring (wagon) models offered in some recent years, as well as a...
The 2013 BMW 3-Series has some tough shoes to fill. For a couple of decades now, the 3-Series has held onto dual roles—first as a dynamic benchmark among sport sedans, second as a status symbol for younger professionals who want to a luxury car that's also sporty but, perhaps even more importantly now, one that hits the right marks for...
2012 is a leap year, and it's fitting that, for many of the new 2013 models emerging this summer and fall, there's a lot more than facelifts and refreshed feature lists. Most notably, a lot of the trends that we’ve seen over the past several years in luxury models—engine downsizing, fuel-efficient technologies, and in-car...
Picking powertrains used to be simple: straight-six or V-8? But consider the all-new 2013 Ford Fusion mid-size sedan that reaches dealers this fall: It comes with a base 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, or you can pick from a choice of two different smaller, turbocharged EcoBoost fours, in 1.6- and 2.0-liter sizes. Then there's the 2013 Fusion...
