So, should we fear the thought of this massive generation tumbling into senior-citizendom (joining their parents, who are living longer thanks to the...

Lexus is known for putting big red bows on its vehicles during the holiday season. But this year, during its "December to Remember" year-end sales event, Toyota's luxury marque is also giving to charity -- and you can help out, even if you're not in the market for a Lexus. The way it works is simple. Start by visiting Lexus' "Check In for Charity"...
All-new in 2012, and with a new convertible variant available for 2013, the Volkswagen Beetle isn't what you're thinking--it's better. The New Beetle which preceded the current Beetle was loved by press and public alike at its introduction, and for many, the love affair continues, but in truth, neither the design nor the packaging forced on it by...
The sporty Mazda 6 mid-size sedan will be completely redone for 2014 with new engines, new styling, and more features. But will that be enough to boost its sales in the competitive family sedan segment? One thing's for sure: if you want a new Mazda 6 with a V-6 engine, you'd better act fast. The 2014 edition won't have one--it's going to be all...

The 2013 model year marks the redesign of several very important, top-selling sedan models in the U.S. market—including the Honda Accord, Ford Fusion, and Nissan Altima. All three of those models are on The Car Connection's 2013 Best Car To Buy short list, which means that they achieved an Overall Score of at least 8.0 in our full review...
We've just returned our first two "Six-Month Road Test" vehicles, and it's time for another--and while we're doing so, we're tweaking our formula for evaluating new vehicles over a longer period of time. The 2013 Infiniti JX is our first Three-Month Road Test. Why half the time? In our experience with the VW Passat TDI and Hyundai Veloster, we're...
Subaru pulled the wraps off the new 2014 Forester at the 2012 Los Angeles auto show with an upgraded interior, better packaging, and more fuel-efficient powertrains. But will a more mainstream approach win over current Subaru fans? We think the new Forester will appeal to both current and new Subaru customers alike. For the diehards, there's more...

And at this point, after we've sampled nearly all the new or substantially different 2013 models, it's time to call out the best—with The Car Connection's Best Car To Buy. As you'll have no...
The Toyota RAV4 is one of the best-selling compact crossovers, and for 2013 it's all new with fresh styling, revised powertrain options, and less seats. Will these updates help keep sales strong?
