2013 Ferrari California

Posted: 23 Oct 2012 10:56 AM PDT

While it's certainly not the most drop-dead gorgeous design Ferrari has ever built, the California is unique in the lineup, and it's perhaps the most practical car in the Ferrari fleet--short of the much more expensive FF, of course. In terms of styling, the California is actually the oldest of the company's current offerings. That...

Posted: 23 Oct 2012 10:37 AM PDT

While we're wrapping up our Six-Month Road Test of our 2012 Volkswagen Passat TDI, we've already revised and updated our review for the 2013 model year.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk Responds To Critics & Dealer Lawsuits

Posted: 23 Oct 2012 08:13 AM PDT

They say all press is good press, but Tesla Motors might beg to differ. The past couple of weeks, the start-up automaker has been under fire. The attacks began when Governor Romney dubbed Tesla a "failure" in his first debate with President Obama. A few days later, everyone was talking about Tesla's unusual sales model and how dealerships in four...

The 2013 Infiniti JX seven-seat crossover, launched this fall, gives Nissan's luxury brand a direct competitor for the long-lived and very successful Lexus RX.

2013 Chevrolet Volt Gets Software Update To Avoid Stalling

Like it or not, car tech is changing. And as that technology changes, so does the way that we maintain and service our vehicles. As proof, look no further than a problem currently affecting the 2013 Chevrolet Volt. According to the Detroit News, General Motors has begun contacting owners of the 2013 Volt about a potential flaw in the car's...


2014 Chevy Silverado Gets December Reveal In Detroit

Posted: 23 Oct 2012 06:50 AM PDT

The Chevrolet Silverado is consistently the second-best selling full size pickup truck in America, so Chevy knows it needs to proceed with extreme caution when it comes to redesigns. A redesign is in the works, though, and an all-new 2014 Chevy Silverado 1500 will debut at a special event in Detroit on December 13, before making it’s first...


Chevrolet Silverado 1500

Available in a variety of body styles, bed lengths, powertrains and with upscale luxury trim in some versions, the Silverado competes with the Toyota Tundra and Nissan Titan, but even more closely with the Dodge Ram, the Ford F-150, and the similar GMC Sierra. The...


Ford F150

Posted: 23 Oct 2012 05:54 AM PDT

The best-selling vehicle in America isn't a sedan, a crossover, or a crossover. It's the Ford F-150, part of the Ford F-Series family of pickup trucks, the best-selling vehicles in the United States for the past 33 years, without pause. With thousands of potential versions offered, the Ford F-150 competes with just about every pickup truck...


Dodge Dart

Posted: 23 Oct 2012 05:51 AM 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...
