| Posted: 28 Jan 2013 02:33 PM PST  Past compact-sedan offerings from GM haven't been close to segment-leading; but the Chevrolet Cruze is an about-face, standing as one of the best entries in the class—especially for those who comfort and safety the most. Introduced for the 2011 model year, the Cruze replaced the Cobalt in the Chevy lineup, following a rapidly changing cast...      |
| Ford Fusion Hybrid - Fusion Energi Posted: 28 Jan 2013 02:30 PM PST  The reviews are in, and the newly redesigned 2013 Ford Fusion has been hailed as stylish, comfortable, sporty, and a lot more. Among the five powertrain options are the latest generation of the Fusion Hybrid--following the first-generation 2010-2012 model--and a new entry, the Fusion Energi plug-in hybrid. Ford [NYSE:F] has created what may be the...   |
| Posted: 28 Jan 2013 01:30 PM PST  The Lexus GX is a mid-size sport-utility vehicle of an increasingly rare type: a real SUV that's built on truck underpinnings, rather than a crossover that uses a car platform. The current generation, launched as a 2010 model, is based on the same running gear as the Toyota 4Runner and FJ Cruiser, and features a 301-horseopwer V-8 engine mated to...   |
| Posted: 28 Jan 2013 12:30 PM PST  The Volvo S60 sedan is the Swedish automaker's competitor for a trio of German luxury sport sedans: the Audi A4, BMW 3-Series, and Mercedes-Benz C Class. The current generation, introduced as a 2011 model, comes with lines as striking as those of its predecessor were stolid. And it's the most recent demonstration that Volvo is evolving from boxy...   |
| Posted: 28 Jan 2013 12:05 PM PST  See our full review of the 2013 Cadillac ATS for more information, including pricing with options. As luxury and sports sedans mature into their nameplates, they typically grow larger, and move upmarket. The BMW 3-Series and Mercedes-Benz C-Class are prime examples of that progress--and so is the Cadillac CTS, at first the entry-level Caddy when...   |
| Posted: 28 Jan 2013 11:55 AM PST  Read our full review of the 2013 Dodge Grand Caravan for more information, including pricing with options The Dodge Grand Caravan is a minivan that's now been part of the Chrysler Group's lineup for 30 years--on more than one occasion, saving the company from oblivion. In the past sold in long- and short-wheelbase forms, today it's sold in one...   |
| Posted: 28 Jan 2013 11:47 AM PST  Controversial styling aside, the Porsche Panamera is a fantastic combination of the core elements of any sport sedan: luxury, features, power, and handling. As the brand's first (and so far, only) sedan, the Panamera has helped Porsche to reach a wider audience and increase sales without compromising the virtues of its more dedicated...   |
| Posted: 28 Jan 2013 11:30 AM PST  The largest sedan in Volvo's lineup, the S80 four-door emphasizes technology and luxury more than outright performance, along with (of course) safety and driver assistance. With available all-wheel drive, the Volvo S80 faces off against entry-level versions of German luxury models, including the Audi A6 and Mercedes-Benz E Class, as well as other...   |
| AAA Study: Drivers Who Use Cell Phones Probably Have Other Bad Habits Posted: 28 Jan 2013 08:45 AM PST  Since we were little, we've been told not to judge books by their covers. But AAA would like to remind us of another tried-and-truism: where there's smoke, there's fire. That's the gist of a new survey conducted by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety. That survey -- the 2012 Traffic Safety Culture Index -- fielded responses from 3,896 U.S...   |
| Saab's New Owners Set Goal:120,000 Vehicles A Year By 2016 Posted: 28 Jan 2013 08:08 AM PST  The rumors about Saab's death have been greatly exaggerated -- at least, that's what the brand's new owners say. According to Bloomberg news, Saab's long-quiet assembly lines will return to action this summer, and the company hopes to meet some pretty lofty production goals within three years. A recap A full recounting of the Saab saga is more...   |
| Red-Light Cameras, Tesla Model S Flaws, 2013 BMW X3 Driven: Car News Headlines Posted: 28 Jan 2013 07:16 AM PST  Today at The Car Connection, we drove the 2013 BMW X3 xDrive28i and updated our ultimate guide to the Chevrolet Volt.

Power found insurance satisfaction...   |
| Posted: 28 Jan 2013 06:30 AM PST  As U.S. buyers continue to favor crossover utility vehicles over plain old wagons, the Volvo XC70 is now the only way to get what many buyers sought for decades: the plain, simple, sensible, durable, nigh-on-indestructible Volvo wagon. The Volvo XC70 is essentially the former V70 wagon with lower body cladding and a higher ride height, plus a few...   |
| Posted: 28 Jan 2013 05:30 AM PST  It may be the most dated vehicle in the entire lineup, but the Volvo XC90 is almost a timeless design. This mid-size luxury SUV--or crossover, to use a term not even invented when the XC90 was launched in 2003--remains the most popular model in the Swedish maker's U.S. lineup. It competes directly with the BMW X5 and Mercedes-Benz ML Class, but...   |
| Posted: 28 Jan 2013 04:30 AM PST  It's now official: The Chevrolet Volt is the best-selling plug-in car in the U.S. In 2012, almost twice as many Volts were sold as the next best-selling car that can recharge from wall current, which is the Toyota Prius Plug-In Hybrid. The compact Chevy Volt has proven to be a winner among buyers who want to drive electric but experience "range...   |
