2013 Nissan Sentra: First Drive

Posted: 25 Oct 2012 02:15 PM PDT

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...

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_...


BMW X1

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...

Audi Unplugs R8 e-tron, Electric Car Program Left In Limbo

Posted: 25 Oct 2012 08:06 AM PDT

In September of 2009, Audi of America President Johan de Nysschen loudly and proudly called the Chevrolet Volt "a car for idiots". He spent the next several months back-tracking. Like certain politicians who suffer from foot-in-mouth disease, de Nysschen was clumsily trying to make a couple of interesting points: (a) even though the Volt is...


Chevrolet Sonic Dusk: Coming Soon To A Showroom Near You

If you're looking for a symbol of the "new", leaner, meaner General Motors -- the company that emerged from bankruptcy in 2009 -- you could find one in the Chevrolet Sonic subcompact. It's well-made, it's affordable, it's fuel-efficient, it's packed with high-tech and safety features, and the Sonic sedan and hatchback both have striking visual...

What do you expect out of a low-priced compact sedan? Do you want a small-car model that looks different than larger sedans, and drives with a nimble, sporty feel, or do you want one that emulates those bigger models, emphasizing space, comfort, and features, albeit with a lower price? If you're in the latter group, you're in luck with...
