2013 Toyota Tacoma

Posted: 05 Oct 2012 12:44 PM PDT

The Toyota Tacoma is a survivor. While the GMC Canyon and Chevy Colorado compact pickups are taking a transition year off--and the Ford Ranger has exited the market entirely--the Tacoma is one of the few not-full-size trucks sticking it out. Toyota's even invested more in the future of the Tacoma, moving it from a California production...


2013 Rolls-Royce Ghost

Posted: 05 Oct 2012 12:06 PM PDT

Though it may be the "entry-level" Rolls-Royce, the Ghost is anything but common. Aiming to be a dynamic, yet still traditionally luxurious Rolls-Royce, the Ghost is still one of the youngest models in the hyperluxury class. For 2013, the Ghost carries forward unchanged, though a number of special-edition models, including an Art...

The Car Connection's legion of lenses spied a prototype of the new model undergoing hot-weather testing in the desert.

In 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.

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...
