Kia Sorento

Posted: 28 Nov 2012 01:51 PM PST

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...


2014 Kia Sorento

Posted: 28 Nov 2012 01:35 PM PST

The Kia Sorento hasn’t been on sale for all that long in its current form (since the 2011 model year); but for 2014 the Sorento is already up for some significant improvements. And it doesn’t amount to just a minor refresh either: Kia says that more than 80 percent of the parts in the new Sorento are either all-new or...

Compact four-door sedans represent a growing portion of the overall car market in the U.S., and Kia is determined to stay competitive. So just five years after the last generation, today it introduced an all-new 2014 Kia Forte sedan--which will go on sale by March of next year.

2013 Hyundai Santa Fe

Posted: 28 Nov 2012 10:35 AM PST

The 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe has a split personality, but it's by choice. Faced with the boom in small crossovers and the popularity of the seven-passenger Santa Fe until it was dropped in 2009, Hyundai's shut down its Veracruz nameplate, and expanded the Santa Fe brand to include two body styles--the two-row Santa Fe Sport, and the...


Is Miles-Per-Gallon Really The Best Measure Of Fuel Economy?

Posted: 28 Nov 2012 10:11 AM PST

In the U.S., we tend to talk about fuel economy in terms of miles-per-gallon. After decades of doing so, it's a system that we've come to understand -- or so we think. Unfortunately, miles-per-gallon doesn't tell the whole story. In fact, it's a metric that can sometimes be deceiving. But what are the alternatives? In many other parts of the...


2013 Toyota RAV4

Posted: 28 Nov 2012 09:25 AM PST

The Toyota RAV4 has been one of the top-selling compact crossovers since it inaugurated the category back in the 1990s. It's been outstripped since by the Ford Escape and Honda CR-V, but it's still a solid performer in sales and appeal--and it's likely to repeat that feat in its latest edition, making its debut at the 2012 Los Angeles...

Posted: 28 Nov 2012 02:00 AM PST

The 2014 Chevrolet Impala goes on sale next spring and will be priced from $27,535, including an $810 destination charge.

2014 Fiat 500L Preview, Live Photos: 2012 Los Angeles Auto Show

Posted: 27 Nov 2012 09:01 PM PST

Many people say they really like the Fiat 500, but it's just too small for their daily lives. Today Fiat is looking to rectify that issue with the introduction of the new 2014 Fiat 500L at the 2012 Los Angeles Auto Show. The 500L is closely related to the new European variant of the same name, which made its debut at March's 2012 Geneva Motor...


Chevrolet Sonic

Posted: 27 Nov 2012 05:11 PM PST

As an all-new small-car model, the Chevrolet Sonic was first introduced for the 2012 model year. While it follows in the tracks of the Chevrolet Aveo, and the Chevrolet (Geo) Metro and Sprint before it, the Sonic is not only larger and heavier than those models, but more substantial in many respects. And its creep up a half-size leaves room for a...
