| Posted: 10 Jan 2013 05:20 PM PST  An American icon and easily one of the most recognizable cars on the planet, the Ford Mustang has gone through many iterations over its nearly five-decade history, selling over 9 million copies along the way. On sale continuously since early 1964, the Mustang was conceived by Ford, under automotive legend Lee Iacocca's direction. The two-door...      |
| Posted: 10 Jan 2013 05:12 PM PST  As Ferrari's halo grand touring car, the F12berlinetta's mix of rear-drive, front/mid engine layout and touring 2+2 cabin represent the brand's ultimate interpretation of luxurious, high-performance travel. The F12berlinetta's design is both typically Ferrari and completely modern, almost avant garde. The dramatic, sculpted bodywork along the side...   |
| Posted: 10 Jan 2013 05:05 PM PST  The Ferrari 458 Italia is a mid-engine, rear-drive, two-seat super sports car that carries on the relatively modern lineage of cars like the F430, 360 Modena, and earlier mid-engine Ferraris. Designed from the ground up to be the latest, most capable interpretation of this ideal, the 458 Italia's stunning looks and excellent performance put it...   |
| Posted: 10 Jan 2013 10:38 AM PST  The Volkswagen Passat is a large front-wheel-drive sedan aimed at the heart of the passenger-car market, right at best sellers like the Toyota Camry, Nissan Altima, and Honda Accord. It's assembled in the U.S. at a new factory in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The current Passat is positioned more for value than sophistication or tech advancements. Over...   |
| Posted: 10 Jan 2013 09:43 AM PST  The Volkswagen Routan is a minivan that offers seating for up to seven; it competes directly with Honda Odyssey, Toyota Sienna, and Nissan Quest, as well as the Dodge Grand Caravan and Chrysler Town & Country. If the Routan bears more than a passing likeness to the Chrysler and Dodge minivans, that's because it essentially is the same vehicle...   |
| Posted: 10 Jan 2013 09:26 AM PST  The Volkswagen Tiguan is a compact crossover vehicle that provides a good sedan replacement in a taller package. Unlike the larger Touareg SUV, which offers more rugged construction and off-road ability, the Tiguan is essentially a tall wagon—more carlike, and an alternative to the Honda CR-V, Hyundai Tucson, Toyota RAV4, and Chevrolet...   |
| Posted: 10 Jan 2013 09:06 AM PST  The Volkswagen Touareg is a mid-size sport-utility vehicle that—in contrast with its softer, more carlike look—offers some rugged off-road ability. Alternatives to the Touareg include the Toyota Highlander, Honda Pilot, and Ford Edge, along with more traditional, truck-based SUVs like the Ford Explorer (also a crossover, most recently)...   |
| Posted: 10 Jan 2013 08:42 AM PST  The Toyota Yaris is a family of frugal subcompact hatchbacks and sedans. It slots below the Corolla and Matrix, as the most affordable model in the Toyota lineup, and it matches up against the Honda Fit, Nissan Versa, or Chevrolet Sonic (Aveo). New to the U.S. for 2006, the Yaris replaced the homely Echo in Toyota's lineup and was almost...   |
| Posted: 10 Jan 2013 08:37 AM PST  The Ford Focus is a family of small cars, that are offered in a wide range of body styles including a four-door sedan, wagon, coupe, and three- and five-door hatchbacks. The Ford Focus had been Ford's bargain-priced, entry-level car model for North America for many years, although the smaller Ford Fiesta has now taken that spot. Top alternatives...   |
| Posted: 10 Jan 2013 08:30 AM PST  The Hyundai Tucson is a relatively newer arrival to the burgeoning compact crossover market, but like most Hyundais, it's a strong competitor and is likely to gain attention and sales over time. It competes directly against the segment leaders--the Ford Escape, Honda CR-V, and Toyota RAV4--but is aggressively priced to emphasize its value. A base...   |
| Sales Tax, Gas Tax, Mileage Tax: How To Pay For America's Roads? Posted: 10 Jan 2013 08:00 AM PST  In Virginia, controversy is a-brewin' over Governor Bob McDonnell's plan to eliminate the state's gasoline tax. The funds generated from that tax have traditionally been earmarked for maintenance and construction of Virginia's roads. To replace gas tax revenue, McDonnell plans to do three things: (1) raise the state's sales tax by about 16%, (2)...   |
| Posted: 10 Jan 2013 07:59 AM PST  The best-selling vehicle in America isn't a sedan, a crossover, or a crossover; it's the Ford F-150, which is the mass-market version of the Ford F-Series family of pickups. The F-Series has outsold other pickup models for 36 years, and it's racked up more than 30 years at the top of the U.S. sales charts for all vehicles. And one of the keys to...   |

| Posted: 10 Jan 2013 07:40 AM PST  As a full-size sport-utility vehicle, the Ford Expedition was introduced for the 1997 model year and effectively replaced the Bronco two-door SUV. The Expedition is based on the same architecture and powertrains that also underpins the Ford F-150 and the Lincoln Navigator. Sized between the smaller Explorer and the now-discontinued Ford Excursion...   |
| Posted: 10 Jan 2013 07:30 AM PST  On sale in the U.S. since 2001, the Hyundai Santa Fe has grown in size and power from its original compact size to become a mid-size competitor. The all-new 2013 model, the third generation of Santa Fe, comes in two different sizes: the Santa Fe itself offers three rows and competes against the Ford Explorer, Toyota Highlander, and Kia Sorento...   |
