Bob Lutz 2004In politics, there are plenty of "third-rail" topics that candidates try to avoid. Many of those issues are hugely important to one major demographic: senior citizens. But older voters aren't just concerned with Social Security and Medicare. They're also worried about personal freedom and independence -- symbolized, in part, by their right to...

2013 Ford Fusion Back in 2006, the Ford Fusion essentially replaced the tarnished Taurus nameplate in the company's lineup of sedans. It didn't usher in a new era of iconic style like its ancestor, but it was an appealing, right-sized package that proved itself over time with enduring value and reliability, not to mention some of the better road manners in the...

2013 Volkswagen EosThe Volkswagen Eos is a hardtop convertible model, with a retractable hardtop setup that's aimed at those who want to drive a convertible year-round. Its main rivals are a shrinking set that still includes the BMW 1-Series Convertible and Chrysler 200, and maybe the MINI Cooper S Convertible, while the Volvo C70 and Saab 9-3 have gone to the great...

2013 Volkswagen EosWhat is there between budget rental-car convertibles like the Chrysler 200, more focused drop-top sports cars like the Mazda Miata and Audi TT, and entry luxury convertibles like the BMW 135 convertible or Volvo C70, or muscle ragtops like the Ford Mustang? What lands neatly in that middle ground is the Volkswagen Eos, While in appearance it's...

2013 BMW 7-SeriesThe BMW 7-Series is a large luxury sedan that's well into its fourth decade of production.

2013 Fiat 500Stylish, at times sporty, and at others efficient, the 2013 Fiat 500 brings a lot to the table considering its small size. But can it overcome Fiat's previous reputation for poor reliability, especially in a market teeming with alternatives from America, Asia, and Europe?With pert, upright styling that wraps a compact passenger compartment in...

2013 BMW 7-SeriesBMW, as any automaker should with its flagship model, is keeping its lineup of 7-Series sedans at the leading edge for engineering and technology by bringing out the best of what it has in a refreshed 2013 lineup. Although the 2013 BMW 7-Series looks much like last year's version--it's been given a modest makeover in front, as well as a new seat...

2013 Ford F-150 LariatOne of the highest-rated pickup trucks here at The Car Connection, the Ford F-150 earns its keep, year after year, with class-leading towing, luxury and tech features, and as of late, its improving gas mileage.
