In most of America, it's illegal to text and drive. Today, 39 states and the District of Columbia now have laws on the books forbidding the practice. Chances are, you live in one of them. The problem for police officers is that such laws can be difficult to enforce. Even though texting constitutes a primary offense in most instances (meaning that...
For nearly a decade, Scion has been working overtime to win the hearts and mind of young, urban types. In doing so, the company has relied on a highly customizable lineup of vehicles, allowing buyers to express their creativity. In fact, creativity has been at the heart of many Scion promotions, and the latest one -- dubbed "Motivate" -- is no...
We've waved goodbye to The Car Connection's first Six-Month Road Test vehicle. But before we let our 2012 VW Passat TDI rejoin its home fleet, one final road trip was in order--and so was a video road test. The Passat's been an excellent long-distance road trip companion, netting us almost 46 mpg on one journey--a single-tank run from Atlanta to...
With new appearance and feature options for 2013, the Land Rover LR4 offers buyers off-road capability in its traditional, boxy form. For 2013, the LR4 gets five new exterior colors, a new extended leather package, and a new Black Design package that includes black alloy wheels and exterior accents. While it's the most traditional-looking of Land...
The Volkswagen Passat is now made in America, ever since the 2012 model year, when VW upsized it and pared down its complexity, all to bring it closer to the mainstream best sellers in space and price. It's a success so far with shoppers, and even enthusiast magazines have given it credit for transforming the VW reputation for engineering into...
The Volkswagen Passat is a large front-wheel-drive sedan aimed at the heart of the passenger-car market, right at best sellers like the Toyota Camry, Nissan Altima, and Honda Accord. It's assembled in the U.S. at a new factory in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The current Passat is positioned more for value than sophistication or tech advancements. Over...
Nissan's all-new 2013 Sentra has at least one trait in common with the 2012 model it replaces: It simply doesn't leave a very strong impression with you. The outgoing model is a reasonably good compact sedan, and it's sold well; it's just been hard to argue that it provides any particular quality that makes it a must-have over other compact...
BMW is conducting a voluntary recall of certain 2005 through 2007 7-Series sedans to fix a software problem that may allow the doors to open, even when they appear to be closed. A notice on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) website puts the number of vehicles potentially affected at 7,485. Vehicles involved are equipped...
The Land Rover LR4 is a mid-size sport-utility vehicle aimed at those who want to combine a luxurious interior and top-notch comfort with serious off-road ability. The LR4 was introduced for the 2010 model year and follows solidly in the steps of the LR3—as well as the Discovery before that (which it's still called in some overseas markets_...
Similar to, but smaller than, the X3, the BMW X1 is a compact luxury crossover. As such, it is nearly alone in the U.S. market for the present, though the Audi Q3 may join it soon, and Mercedes-Benz is thought to be working on a compact crossover as well. The Range Rover Evoque is the X1's nearest competition at the moment. The BMW X1 is a very...
