| Posted: 20 Dec 2012 03:40 PM PST  The Mazda MX-5 was a revolutionary product back when it resurrected the idea of the light-and-lean, no-frills roadster back in 1989, and to this day it remains a relevant counterpoint in a market that's by many accounts, become a bit bloated. If your priorities include affordable open-air fun, razor-sharp handling, and a serious racing pedigree...      |
| Posted: 20 Dec 2012 03:24 PM PST  The Buick Verano is a comfort- and luxury-oriented compact sedan that was introduced for the 2012 model year. While the Verano's front-wheel drive layout and platform are shared with the Chevrolet Cruze, nearly all of its mechanical underpinnings, parts, and sheetmetal are different. Filling a slot that had been empty at Buick since the...   |
| Posted: 20 Dec 2012 03:23 PM PST  If the name Encore is still giving you a sense of deja vu, mentioning Renault might jog your memory. The French automaker, with AMC, first sold a small car of the same name through much of the 1980s, but with most of those retired at this point, Buick seized the nameplate. The 2013 Buick Encore is a new subcompact crossover, and it enters a new...   |
| Posted: 20 Dec 2012 01:01 PM PST  Mid-size crossover vehicles have become today's common family vehicles; yet the Nissan Murano stands out at a step sportier and more stylish than most of the other offerings on the market. With underpinnings based on those of the mid-size Altima sedan, the Murano has seating for five, but it does not offer a third row of seating, off-road ability...   |
| GM Recalls 2010-2012 Chevrolet Colorado, GMC Canyon For Missing Hood Latches Posted: 20 Dec 2012 11:31 AM PST  General Motors is recalling certain 2010 through 2012 model year Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon pickups that may lack a secondary hood latch to prevent unexpected hood opening during operation. A notice on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) website puts the number of vehicles potentially involved in the United States at...   |
| Posted: 20 Dec 2012 11:25 AM PST  As one of the longtime best-selling four-door mid-size sedans on the market, the Toyota Camry model name has for families become synonymous with reliability, low running costs, spaciousness, and (in most versions) good fuel economy. But the Camry has never been very flamboyant or exciting to drive; over time, it's come to be thought of as a little...   |
| Posted: 20 Dec 2012 09:18 AM PST  Ferrari's most approachable model, the two-plus-two, drop-top California is sporty and aggressively styled, yet still comfortable enough for the daily commute. With 490 horsepower on tap and an available suspension upgrade package, the California can be honed to a sharper edge, if desired. For those familiar with Ferraris, the combination of...   |
| Posted: 20 Dec 2012 09:04 AM PST  Ferrari's first production four-wheel drive car, the FF, is unique in the range, and the brand's history. The shooting brake body, potent V-12 engine, and brisk performance also help it stand out from the crowd. The FF, which stands for "Ferrari Four", is a two-door sport wagon, or shooting brake, with seating for four. A 651-horsepower, 6.3-liter...   |
| 2014 Fiat 500L: A Perfect Ride For Cool, Rapping Moms Posted: 20 Dec 2012 08:00 AM PST  Not so long ago, June Cleaver was America's model mom -- someone who'd take care of the children and manage the household while the father journeyed out into the business world. Then came the 1960s and 70s, when mothers were expected to bring home the bacon, fry it up in a pan, and do everything else that June had been doing all along. This...   |

The 2013 Honda Accord aced a new safety test and GM announced it will buy back stock from the U.S. government. All this and more in today's car news, right here on The Car Connection. Hyundai recalled the 2012 Veloster due to sunroof and...   |
| Hyundai Recalls 2012 Veloster For Sunroof, Parking-Brake Flaws Posted: 20 Dec 2012 05:22 AM PST  The 2012 Hyundai Veloster is the subject of two separate voluntary safety recalls announced today: one for sunroofs that could shatter and cause injury, and the other for a parking brake flaw that may allow vehicles to roll away. Sunroof recall The sunroof recall follows a preliminary evaluation by the National Highway Traffic Safety...   |
| New Frontal Crash Tests: Honda Accord Aces, Toyota Camry Flubs Posted: 19 Dec 2012 09:01 PM PST  While you may concede that money can't buy you love, it might seem hard to believe that extra money spent on a luxury vehicle wouldn't be money well spent on keeping your loved ones safe and sound. As some of the latest crash-tests suggest, you might be just as well, or better off, with a lower-priced car—especially if you're looking at the...   |
| Posted: 19 Dec 2012 07:13 PM PST  In a lineup of conventional cars, trucks and crossovers, Nissan's Murano CrossCabriolet stands out. It pretty much does the same in the whole universe of passenger vehicles, period: it's the only convertible crossover for sale, not counting Jeep's Wrangler, which really is the only convertible SUV available today, thanks to its true off-road...   |
| 2013 Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet Posted: 19 Dec 2012 06:51 PM PST Take a quick look at the Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet and you'll probably be scratching your head in puzzlement. As what may well be the first all-wheel-drive crossover convertible in automotive history, the CrossCabriolet--true to its name, a two-door ragtop version of the Murano mid-size crossover--ranks as one of the weirdest models...   |
| Posted: 19 Dec 2012 04:00 PM PST  The top of Ferrari's grand touring hierarchy is always an interesting place: from the 550 Maranello to the 599 GTB Fiorano to the new F12 Berlinetta, the Prancing Horse's front-engine, rear-drive, V-12 grand tourers have blended extreme performance with top-tier luxury in a stylish package for over a decade. Priced at about $330,000 to...   |
