Buick Enclave

Posted: 20 Oct 2012 04:33 PM PDT

The Buick Enclave is a full-size crossover that first arrived on the market as a 2008 model after being previewed in concept form at the 2006 Detroit Auto Show. The vehicle is based on GM’s Lambda platform, which is also used for the GMC Acadia, Chevrolet Traverse, and the former Saturn Outlook, and is capable of carrying up to eight people...

The Ford C-Max is a tall, five-door compact hatchback being launched for the 2013 model year. The C-Max Hybrid model will be followed in a few months by the C-Max Energi, Ford's first plug-in hybrid to be offered for sale. Read our full 2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid review The Toyota Prius pioneered the high-efficiency segment it has dominated for 12...


2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid

Posted: 20 Oct 2012 11:20 AM PDT

The 2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid represents the first straight-up competitor to the legendary Toyota Prius hybrid, and it's home-grown and assembled in Michigan. This is Ford's first dedicated hybrid, meaning there's no gasoline-only version of the C-Max sold in the U.S. In exterior size and internal capacity, the tall, compact five-door...


Ford Fusion

Posted: 20 Oct 2012 08:42 AM PDT

Essentially replacing the once-best-selling Ford Taurus for 2006, the Ford Fusion heralded Ford's comeback in several ways, and advanced its reputation in others--mainly, with the smartly conceived Fusion Hybrid sedan. The first Fusion set a new look for Ford with a very prominent three-bar chrome grille and upright headlights leading to a more...


Toyota Corolla

Posted: 19 Oct 2012 07:24 PM PDT

Just about any way you might track Toyota's U.S. success, it's likely the path would lead back to the automaker's long-running Corolla. Long before there was a Camry, there was the Corolla, and it forever changed the U.S. small-car market and U.S. shoppers' expectations. For the first two years of its latest generation, the Corolla was sold in...


Honda CR-V

Posted: 19 Oct 2012 07:07 PM PDT

The Honda CR-V is a compact crossover utility vehicle with a four-cylinder engine and a choice of front- or all-wheel drive. Since its inception, it has also offered the styling and stance of a sport-utility vehicle with car-based underpinnings (originally borrowed from the Civic) that make it better suited for the city. The CR-V was one of the...


Jeep Wrangler

Posted: 19 Oct 2012 07:03 PM PDT

The Jeep Wrangler is truly an American icon—a serious off-road SUV that traces its roots back to World War II. Since its debut in the 1980s, the Wrangler has grown in size and features, but still offers the same basic open-air off-road capability that made it famous. There aren't many direct competitors to the Wrangler, though the Nissan...


2013 Jeep Wrangler - Unlimited

Posted: 19 Oct 2012 06:38 PM PDT

Automakers love to point to their vehicles and say that there's nothing like it on the market. That's usually utterly false, but in the case of the 2013 Jeep Wrangler, it's the whole truth. From the outside and conceptually, the Wrangler has been kept as true to its past as possible, within the bounds of vehicle regulations. Seemingly...


Chevrolet Cruze

Posted: 19 Oct 2012 05:15 PM PDT

GM hasn't been known for standout compact sedans in the past, but the Chevy Cruze appears to be changing that impression. As a 2011-model-year replacement for the Cobalt in the Chevy lineup, the Cruze provided a more solid extension of a wavering compact-sedan timeline that has included now-defunct names such as Cavalier, Nova, and Corsica...


Toyota Camry

Posted: 19 Oct 2012 02:18 PM PDT

To those of a particular generation, the Toyota Camry is the epitome of the four-door, mid-size sedan. The best-selling mid-size model has long appealed to budget-conscious families for its reliability, low running costs, spaciousness, and (in most versions) good fuel economy, but at the same time the Camry has never been very flamboyant or...
