Land Rover Range Rover

Posted: 19 Oct 2012 05:04 PM PDT

The Land Rover Range Rover is a five-passenger sport-utility vehicle, built in England and one of the most storied SUVs of all time. It's a regular member of the fleet in the Royal Family's garage--and it's a status symbol for drivers around the world who appreciate its finery as much as its off-road expertise. It competes with vehicles like the...


Dodge Dart

Posted: 19 Oct 2012 03:32 PM PDT

The Dodge Dart is the first competitive compact sedan offered by the Chrysler Corporation in more than a decade, probably since the last new Dodge Neon. As such, it gives the company a crucial entry in a hotly contested segment long ruled by the Toyota Corolla and Honda Civic. But their dominance is now under attack by a host of remarkably good...


2013 Dodge Dart

Posted: 19 Oct 2012 03:21 PM PDT

The 2013 Dodge Dart gets Chrysler back into the compact sedan game, and it does so with more than a little attitude and rakish design. Instantly distinctive on the road, the new Dart is one of the roomiest entries among compact four-door sedans. Dodge will offer three engines, three gearboxes, several trim levels, and a host of...


2011-2012 Jeep Patriot Models Investigated For Stalling Issue

Posted: 19 Oct 2012 12:45 PM PDT

Late-model Jeep Patriot compact crossovers may have an issue with stalling, and federal safety officials are looking into a series of complaints. Earlier this week, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration opened a Defect Investigation on Jeep Patriot utility vehicles from the 2011 and 2012 model years. The agency notes that there have...


BMW X1

Posted: 19 Oct 2012 11:58 AM PDT

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...


BMW 6-Series

Posted: 19 Oct 2012 11:57 AM PDT

The BMW 6-Series is a luxury sport coupe and convertible in its latest generation. With distinctive looks and impressive performance, the luxurious, powerful 6-Series is an excellent grand touring vehicle with a flair for the dramatic. It competes with the Jaguar XK, Mercedes-Benz SL Class, Porsche 911, and Maserati GranTurismo. First introduced...


Kia Sedona

Posted: 19 Oct 2012 11:50 AM PDT

The Kia Sedona is a minivan manufactured in South Korea, and sold in other countries as the Carnival. It's the only minivan sold in the U.S. that still offers short- and long-wheelbase versions--and until recently, it was paired with an identical Hyundai Entourage minivan that was sold from the 2007-2009 model year. Priced in the mid-$20,000...


Kia Forte

Posted: 19 Oct 2012 11:48 AM PDT

The compact Kia Forte four-door sedan and Forte coupe (known as the “Koup” in Kia-talk) replaced the previous Spectra model line for 2010, while a Forte5 five-door hatchback joined the lineup in 2011. Crisply styled and fitted with far more standard equipment, the name change serves to underscore the new and competitive nature of the...


Kia Sorento

Posted: 19 Oct 2012 11:47 AM PDT

The Kia Sorento mid-size sport-utility vehicle, now in its second generation, took Kia into the competitive segment for vehicles that haul families and their stuff. Kia has learned from its experiences with the Sorento, though, and the new version—on sale first as a 2011 model—is vastly more in focus for its market. Among other...


Cadillac CTS

Posted: 19 Oct 2012 10:40 AM PDT

The Cadillac CTS is a mid-size, rear- or all-wheel-drive vehicle, measuring up quite closely with the BMW 5-Series, Mercedes-Benz E-Class, and Audi A6 but priced more closely, in its more affordable trims, with the BMW 3-Series, Mercedes C-Class, and Audi A4. The CTS succeeded the Catera, a blandly styled sedan about the same size that, while...


Cadillac Escalade

Posted: 19 Oct 2012 10:36 AM PDT

The Cadillac Escalade followed on the heels of the Lincoln Navigator, but the Cadillac emerged as king over the long haul--and the clear winner in Detroit's battle of the blingy SUVs. In three generations on sale, the Escalade has grown into a neatly tailored and folded suit, boosted its V-8 power to unheard-of levels in a truck, and bettered its...


2013 Cadillac CTS

Posted: 19 Oct 2012 10:34 AM PDT

With the new 2013 Cadillac XTS and ATS joining the fold this year, the 2013 Cadillac CTS may no longer stand as Cadillac's primary entry into the true world-class luxury sedan, wagon, and coupe ranks. Despite these newcomers, and though it's essentially unchanged from the 2012 model year, the 2013 CTS remains the heart of Cadillac's...


2012 VW Passat Six-Month Road Test: A Bigger Back Seat Than A...

Posted: 19 Oct 2012 10:29 AM PDT

After spending the past half-year with our 2012 VW Passat during its Six-Month Road Test, we're pretty familiar with its vast talents. Chief among them: a huge back seat, one that's easily the biggest we've seen in a mid-size sedan, one that's made even more useful by tall, wide rear doors. Rear-seat room is an important metric for four-door...
