| Posted: 09 Jan 2013 03:29 PM PST  Introduced as an all-new model in 2011, the Lamborghini Aventador is a two-seat supercar that's perhaps better classified as a "hypercar," with extreme V-12 power, high-tech materials, and futuristically exotic looks. It took the Murcielago's place as the brand's ultimate expression of Lamborghini passion and performance. The V-12 engine in the...      |
| Posted: 09 Jan 2013 03:26 PM PST  At nearly 10 years old now, the Lamborghini Gallardo is beginning to show its age--but it's still a head-turner, it's still very quick, and it's still, at the end of the day, a Lamborghini. It is, however, due for replacement soon, despite still offering strong competition to the world's top supercars, including the Ferrari 458 Italia, Chevrolet...   |
| Posted: 09 Jan 2013 03:07 PM PST  The Jeep Liberty is a five-passenger compact SUV that's still capable of off-road duty thanks to its Jeep heritage and available low-speed four-wheel-drive transfer cases. The primary competition for the Jeep Liberty are Subaru Forester, Honda CR-V, Toyota FJ Cruiser, Nissan Xterra and Toyota RAV4, and the Jeep's attractive pricing--ranging...   |
| Posted: 09 Jan 2013 02:56 PM PST  The Dodge Viper is a two-seat sportscar that's been offered as a convertible or as a two-door coupe. Introduced in 1992, and back for 2013 after a two-year hiatus with an all-new model that's more powerful, more refined, and even faster, the Viper competes with some of the top supercars in the world on track. On real-world streets, it competes...   |
| Posted: 09 Jan 2013 02:53 PM PST  As a compact crossover SUV, the Kia Sportage combines all-wheel drive surefootedness with a tall-wagon layout that has made it a good pick for small or growing families. With generous seating for five, fuel efficient engines and bargain basement pricing, the current Kia Sportage is also an excellent package for value-conscious buyers. In our...   |
| Posted: 09 Jan 2013 02:17 PM PST  The Kia Soul is a rather tall, stylish hatchback (or wagon, depending on how you see it) from the South Korean automaker. And for many Americans, it offers a good compromise between low-priced sedans and compact crossover vehicles. First shown in production form at the 2008 Paris auto show, the Soul was designed at the company's U.S. headquarters...   |
| Posted: 09 Jan 2013 01:49 PM PST  Originally a somewhat more luxurious version of Chrysler's minivan line, the Town & Country has been sold alongside the Dodge Grand Caravan since 1990. And while other versions have come and gone--the old Plymouth Voyager, the short-wheelbase Dodge Caravan included--the Town & Country has survived the Chrysler bankruptcy and Fiat...   |
| Posted: 09 Jan 2013 01:19 PM PST  As a sporty, engaging sedan or wagon, the Acura TSX was until recently the entry-level model for the Acura range; however it's now a step up from the Civic-based ILX. Across all of its model years, the TSX remains one of our favorite Acuras of recent vintage. Introduced in the 2004 model year, the TSX has been offered in two generations in the...   |
| Posted: 09 Jan 2013 01:00 PM PST  Since its launch in 2008, the Smart ForTwo two-seat minicar has been the smallest highway-legal car on sale in the U.S. Only in 2012 did it gain a real rival, in the form of the somewhat similar-looking Scion iQ minicar, which has "3+1 seating" for three adults and one child--or backpack. The little Smart is more likely cross-shopped against such...   |
| Posted: 09 Jan 2013 12:45 PM PST  Now entering its third year on the market, the Nissan Leaf was the first mass-produced modern battery-electric car to be sold in the U.S. It remains one of a growing handful of plug-in cars on the market, and is the highest-volume pure electric car sold. First delivered in December 2010, the 2011 and 2012 Leaf models were assembled in Japan and...   |
| Posted: 09 Jan 2013 12:30 PM PST  It may be the best recognized American car on the planet. The iconic Jeep Wrangler is a serious off-road utility vehicle with roots that go all the way back to World War II. The successor to various generations of Jeep CJ models, the Wrangler name debuted in the 1980s and has continued to standard for the off-road capability that made the Jeep...   |
| Posted: 09 Jan 2013 11:30 AM PST  For most of its life, the Jeep Compass has been a good idea compromised by bad execution. The small, chunky five-door compact hatchback was a new segment for rough-and-tumble Jeep when it was launched in 2007, and it showed clear signs of its Dodge Caliber heritage--the two cars being essentially identical under the skin. While the Jeep Patriot...   |
| Posted: 09 Jan 2013 10:30 AM PST  The Coda Sedan went on sale in March 2012, but its future--and the future of Coda Automotive, its manufacturer--appears to be in doubt as 2013 dawns. Reports suggest that no more than 100 Coda Sedans were sold over the nine months of 2012 the car was on sale. In January 2013, Coda Automotive announced its second round of layoffs within four weeks...   |
| 2013 Detroit Auto Show’s New Cars And Concepts Posted: 09 Jan 2013 10:00 AM PST  The North American International Auto Show, the Detroit Auto Show to most folk, is arguably the most important event on the automotive calendar in the U.S. It’s also the place where the global automotive community comes together for the first time each year, all hoping to find out what the major automakers have in store for us over the next...   |
| Posted: 09 Jan 2013 09:30 AM PST  The 2013 Honda CR-Z is the sole two-seat hybrid hatchback coupe on the market. That seems to be a very small niche, one that may not find all that many buyers. Now in its third year, the CR-Z indeed hasn't lived up to the expectations raised by its launch. The hope was that the CR-Z would combine the quick, agile handling of the...   |
